@fitaddiction 369 The worst part about him is this, Look I am in no position to judge someone who testified and became informant, their facing life in prison, or possibly death on streets. Other times they legitimately have some type of remorse particularly with associates that were involved in a murder. However the fact is is he wasn't scared of prison, he was a product of the mafia, believed in it to his core he turned informant because he was so emotional his feelings were hurt over Gotti tapes, and him askng him to take the fall. Therefore he is the type of man who betrays everything he is, believes and values in life cause he's a little pissed off at a betrayal, well he didn't just take down gotti but the damn Gambino family at large.. Then he goes on shows and talks about how much of a real gangster he is. That's my thoughts.

[@lc7065]

Sammy, I was living in Hamilton Sq, Nj. Seemed like the year 88' Everyone was moving out of Jersey. I didn't understand why my Father would come home from work, eat dinner and change and leave. My mother accepted and never questioned and me I thought it was the norm. Loaded guns in every room of house and physically on him. Again the norm for me. Until he passed I than found out about things my Father was involved in. Sometimes you do things to give your family a better life. This is the Life of these guys. Unless you lived it or living it. It would be hard to comprehend.

So if this guy is so much about code & honor then why did he flip and become a rat? Why didn’t he do his time or accept what was coming to him as far as death?

[@masterce1517]

He did his time, it wasn't at the time you wanted him to but he did his time, And if you have a boss like john gotti you would probably do worse than Sammy,

[@TheFourNineThree]

Go do your homework and you'll know why he flipped. Gotti betrayed him. Wanted Sammy to take the fall and do the time for his fuck ups. That's a weasel move on Gotti's part. So that's when Sammy decided to cooperate with the government. In his words it was a game of chess ..... And he won.

[@AndersLiljeblad]

@@TheFourNineThree You have no idea what you're talking about lmao. The government is your biggest enemy in that life. Keyterm: That life - which is no more thanks to law and order. You're not supposed to talk to them - because snitching is never ever justified. Go do your homework, you have a lot to learn.

[@hugolafhugolaf]

@@AndersLiljeblad Actually, he's right. He was loyal to Gotti for everything, until Gotti decided to repay this loyalty by sending him to jail for the rest of his life as a scapegoat. Sammy figured that this was the ultimate rat move by Gotti, and he moved first. Now, you could argue that Sammy should've been loyal to the end, by accepting to be thrown in jail for his boss' fuck-ups. He didn't. JJ D is not saying the government is NOT your enemy. He's explaining why Sammy did what he did, and it's accurate. Whether he was supposed to talk to them is another debate, but his account of events is factually accurate. Not much homework to do on his part.

[@AndersLiljeblad]

​@@hugolafhugolaf Sammy flipped, yes. This is common knowelege. OP pointed out the hypocrisy in Sammy's rhetoric: which is often about code and honor -- when in fact, he broke one of the mobs core tenets by becoming a "rat". JJ D justified Sammy's action by pointing to Gotti. In this kind of life, there is no such justification.

Like Michael said in that life you get the business minded type and the violent gangster type. I understand Sammy had a bit of both but Michael conducted himself in a certain way that he didn't have to be put in the situations Sammy was in.

Michael was a businessman, an earner as they say. Sammy was a hitman first then an earner.

There are 2 types of men in Cosa Nostra: 1. Gangsters - Cold Blooded Killers 2. Racketeers - Businessmen Michael Franzese, Paul Castellano and Frank Costello were racketeers. Nicky Scarfo, John Gotti, Roy DeMeo, Sammy Gravano and Tony Spilotro were gangsters.
