I shudder to think of how many FReepers I've seen on these destroy-all-gays threads would relish, would positively enjoy, being in Capo's position. And heavily armed, to boot.

After nearly fifty comments, nobody inveighs in this thread against murder as such, I see, when it's aimed at a gay man (in or out of La Cosa Nostra). It's just a matter of juvenile sniggering about "swishes." I guess the preservation of life only counts, to some of you supposed Christians, when it's insentient one-day-old tissue in the womb -- right?

1. relax, lighten up
2. a group engaged in illegal activity does an illegal thing, does not need elaboration.
3. could you not see the humor of arguing FOR pc sexual behavior diversity in THE MAFIA.
4. so they have an extreme way of exercising their first ammendment right of association.
5. relax, lighten up.

No one sheds any tears over the death of a mob hood. Gay or straight.

Now on with the comedy....

In a mob bar, you get the kiss of death....in a gay bar, you just get kissed...

You have no idea what you're talking about.

If you expect Freepers to come onto a thread about dead mobsters and share your deep sense of loss for this one because he happened to be a faggot, then you've been posting with your eyes closed 1999.

As Hyman Roth put it in The Godfather Part II, this is the business they chose. The mob is a bunch of murdering thugs, and one of them just killed another. And I have the distinct feeling that sodomy is going to be well down the list of sins that John D'Amato is accounting for right now. So, no, you'll have to excuse me if I'm not greatly sorry to hear about his untimely death. Removing mobsters from the face of the earth is a good thing, the more the merrier. It's only unfortunate that Johnny Boy didn't have the chance to shoot back and take a couple of them with him.

Is it possible for you to comment on a thread without making an obligatory slam against your fellow FReepers?

[MEGoody]

"to some of you supposed Christians"

Kinda making an assumption there, bub. Have you even asked any of the posters whether they are Christians or not? Clearly, you haven't on this thread.

You'll not see much inveighing against chickens coming home to roost, either.

Relax and chill. I looked up this topic on a gay board and they don't care about the dead man either. A two page thread insulting the New York Post instead.

Give you an example:
NY Post

What a piece of s**t. First, the editor totally doesn't get New York. The headlines are base, especially today's, "Fairy Godmother," about a gay gangster. The art direction sucks, the reporting is clumsy, the editorials are rabid, and Page Six is amateur at best. Linda Stasi is the only redeeming part.


Two pages of that. The FR thread is a lot more fun so relax.

If you want some intolerant comments about the deceased Mob Boss, check the story out
with some gay folks...a fair number of them don't like bisexuals.
I've even heard one gay talk show host in Los Angeles suggest that bisexuals
are mental cases.

Myself, I can't wonder if there wasn't more to this story...maybe concern that
this Mob Boss might be "compromised" with his activities...or might
pick up something like HIV/AIDS, give it to some gal who was sleeping with
a number of mob types.

The gay-bashing angle in the murder is apparent...but I suspect there may have
been additional motivations.
"It was nothing personal. It was just business" might cover some of the reasons he got wacked.
