Restaurant Owners Murder Sparks Questions About Mob Ties: Louis Barbati

[@michaeldimartino1004]

Video idea for ya. GG Allin's last show was on June 27, 1993, at a small club called The Gas Station, a punk venue located inside a former gas station at 194 East 2nd Street in Manhattan. Crazy individual with a crazy story and caused quite the stir in the late 80’s and early 90’s

@@cass7142 I agree with you. absolutely crazy human being that gained a following and will forever be remembered for the things he did and the music he played. I grew up listening to GG Allin. Found old bootleg tapes of his at a pawn shop when I was a teenager. Videos of his live performances, talk show interviews, and his last performance in New York where the show got shut down and he ran around the streets all coked up with his little dick hangin out right before he died. There’s a couple of high quality documentary’s out now that our worth taking a look at. One that features his mom and brother is pretty good. Merle just did an interview with the channel “soft white underbelly”. Worth taking a look if your interested. 👍🏻

[@MOONEYDashCam]

It sucks how the justice system works there’s no doubt about that

[@brianmccarthy5557]

2nd degree is actually the more serious charge in New York than 1st degree. Learned that long ago from having an armed confrontation with two murderers, who were brothers, violating their New York parole when I was at UCLA ( fortunately I was smart enough to be backed up by some really big guys). They had turned a drug addicted coed into their whore and were squatting in an off campus student housing I was elected to manage. When I found out was 2nd degree murder really was in New York and that the LA cops couldn't be bothered, I ended up carrying a gun and watching my back for the next six months. Did get them out of the housing and away from the girl. Unfortunately she liked being a drug addicted whore. I assume she eventually came to a bad end. The lowlifes probably did too.

[@MOONEYDashCam]

Yeah maybe the worst criminal there is

[@brianmccarthy5557]

Probably saw, or heard about, the bonus money and tried to rip it off. Being an idiot he managed to blow the whole thing and panic. He could have stuck the gun in the guy's ribs, grabbed the bag and run off. He might never have been caught. Almost certainly not his first strongarm robbery. If they bothered to look he could probably be tied to a lot of other crimes. His atttorney told him to shut up because in today's New York "justice system" there's a substantial likelihood that he'll be released well before his 24 year minimum. Never confessing to the crime seems to help that.

Botched Robbery? He walks over, shoots the guy and takes nothing. Doesn’t even check the bag the guy is holding. Doesn’t take anything. I don’t see this as a botched robbery and the people in the area don’t either. The Police say it, because it gets rid of a difficult case.
