The Colombo who got shot at the beach. Caves?
He also lives in Brooklyn openly.
Nothing happens to rats anymore. At all.
Like I said before, the minute the "Fear Factor of Reprisal" is gone, that's the beginning of the end. In addition, it adds to the Paranoia of not being able to trust anyone anymore.
It's not just the mob. The streets in general are dead.
80% of people on the block are rats.
The feds just hand out too much time. And they also will give you six life sentences for even breathing on a rat.

Jeremy what the fuck are you talking about lol? When did I say I have bumper stickers saying I had cops in the family? Obviously you hate cops and that’s your right I guess but making stupid accusations about somebody you don’t even know is very weird lol
Lol I didn't say YOU had the bumper sticker. I SAID WHY DO YOU THINK THEY MAKE THEM...
"The driver was surprisingly calm. He explained that he had both a card and a silver shield in the rear window identifying him as a family member of a law enforcement officer.
To our astonishment, the stop was the shortest I've ever sat through before or since. The officer made some small talk with the driver, asked (without checking) whether his record was clean, then apologized for the delay before sending us on our way.
As our friend explained on the way to the show, an ordinary paper card—the sort given to friends of police or folks who've made a donation to a PBA—would have been torn up after such an encounter, providing immunity for only a single minor infraction, while the family versions were permanent.

He's telling the truth, it's not some conspiracy theory, everyone knows it to be true and he gave you a story on the practice

I meant what he is saying about me. I don’t hold any special “benefits” from my family members who are now retired from the force
I don’t call that “selfless”. Honestly I don’t think there is any difference in ratting or not they are ALL scum. Now one thing I do agree with you is that people who rat should still get heaven sentences even if there is a reduction, they should still spend a good chunk of their time in jail. However I don’t buy that people who sit in jail are “selfless”. My father and uncle were NY cops during the 70s and 80s when the mob was powerful and destroyed a lot of innocent people’s lives. These guys get what they deserved are aren’t “selfless”
I agree....Why show loyalty to thieves, liars and backstabbers who will send you best friend, brother, cousin to kill you.
They're all dirtballs. It's a collection scumbags.

Joseph Campanella was 100% justifiable.
Not really, the guys who tried to kill him had been told by the mob not to but tried anyway. He then turned rat even though the Columbo would have backed him. He was also messing with the wife of made guy, that may have been coming out and led him to rat also. Still not justified at all.
Campanella was the right-hand-man of William Cutolo, and was promised by both Cutolo and John DeRoss that if Cutolo were to be arrested, Campanella would become the acting capo of his crew, just like he was during the 1990s.
Then, Campanella is asked by DeRoss to take part in the murder of Cutolo. He refused. Then, Cutolo is murdered and DeRoss assumes control over the Cutolo crew himself. Then, in tape-recorded discussions with William Cutolo Jr. and others in Cutolo’s immediate family, DeRoss voices his concerns that Campanella may not be loyal, and might turn government witness.
After William Cutolo Jr. is taken off the streets and DeRoss is indicted, his tapes are released, including the tapes of DeRoss badmouthing and sowing dissent about Campanella. DeRoss, figuring Campanella will not be loyal anymore, orders a hit - with Alphonse Persico’s blessing - on Campanella. The hit is carried about by Vincent DeMartino and Giovanni Floridia, but Campanella survives.
That’s when Campanella first started talking to the FBI, although did not make a deal with them until his arrest the following year. Charged with various violent crimes, Campanella finally resumes talking with the FBI and cuts a deal to testify against the men accused of ordering his murder. Campanella refuses to testify against fellow Cutolo crew members, or the Russian members of his Brighton Beach crew.
To me, that sounds like a pretty good reason for flipping. Campanella testified against the men who already suspected him of being an informer, and who tried to murder him.
Someone talking bad about a guy on a tape is no excuse to rat. Campenella wanted into the life he was in, he did not have to rat, period. He choose to, like a punk. Every rat has an excuse.
I agree with Bert. Its like when i was in the military and i took an oath to honor and serve. And i was in the middle of the sh*t and you know you may die, but your there and despite what mental and or physical consquences you may endure afterwards nothing is worse than disgracing yourself and integrity. I look at CN in a similar, BUT NOT exact way
