OCBob said:Nope, just trying to set the record straight. The story that Silver posted has been around for a while, and tries to make it look like the guy had some redeeming qualities, hell it even makes it look like you should somehow respect him for his brave decision. In truth he was a POS rat, doing nothing but trying to save his own skin. I'm willing to bet dollars to donuts that the whole Annopolis thing with his kid was nothing more than a second thought in the whole process. First and foremost was keeping his own ass out of jail for things that he had done right along with Capone. On top of that he was his lawyer for Christ's sake! How would you like to have your own lawyer ratting you out??? Talk about an unethical and immoral move, there it is. If the kid had been anything like his old man, the airport would be called something else, cause there is no way in hell he would have put his ass on the line, he proved that when he snitched on Capone. I have nothing but respect for Butch O'Hare, but I loathe his father.
Same crap still happens today too. Just take a look at Gotti & Gravano. The feds made a deal with a pyschopath who admitted to 20+ murders just so they could make headlines. I hate rats, the worst form of life on the face of the earth. They can't accept the responsibility for their own actions and instead sell out folks that they proffessed to "love". They all deserve nothing more than a shallow grave somewhere.
I have a friend living through this BS right now because of a rat, who was guilty of more than he himself was. But because he is in a position of "authority" within an organization his bail is $20 million and the snitch is cruising the streets, probably up to his same old shit.
Enough for my rant I guess. No offense to Silver for posting this, I just wanted to set the record straight.
No problem on my part Bob. I understand where you are coming from.:rock:
