Frank Gioia, Jr

Post by Uforeality »

I'm sitting on my couch ready to throw the remote at my TV. Dude interviews like he's being interrogated. And supposedly he has a podcast. Can't wait to have that urge to throw something again.

Yeah.. if he doesn’t start opening up on his Podcast it isn’t going to go to far.

He's starting to warm up in his latest video. Talks about Gaspipe, Brooklyn gangsters' mentality, and the cohost's uncle Sally "Paintglass" D'Ottavio:

I can't stand this guy. While I disdain rats, this one in particular grates on me. What sis prison did he get an Italian to walk off the yard and when was he in GP?

The channel is so weird to me. Last video they just sat around eating.
If nobody sees it, it didn't happen.

I just finished watching the Gioia podcast where he talks about GasPipe. He's way better on his own show. Not bad actually. Gioia said he was sick during the Vlad interview. I liked his comparison of the Manhattan guys and the Brooklyn guys.

The irony of all these rats including Gioa.. "they will not reveal their sources." Since when are they arbiter of truth? They sell out their mother's, father's, brothers etc... to get out of my jail. Now, all the sudden they bound themselves to some arbitrary code of silence for the sake of youtube? Gimme a break.

I always laugh when these guys start talking about remorse for what they did. Every last one of them would still be on the streets today had they not been threatened with heavy prison sentences.

I'm not sure how true but Gioia said he cooperated because they were trying to kill his dad. Pennisi had no cases against him at all, it's not always about prison and guys have cooperated after doing long bids in prison.

Whether you are scared of prison or not, it's not the point i was trying to make. You ratted. You told on your friends. But now they are the harbingers of truth? What, they started a youtube channel, so now they have some journalistic integrity? They are suddenly strong advocates for constitutional rights and the 1st amendment?

If you know anything about the bible... they are Judas. He was one of Jesus 12 apostles who ratted him out for money..
It was wrong then and it's wrong now. Not to mention Gioa went right back to crime when he went into witness protection.

I was and not sure what you said lol. I do think sometimes it’s easier said than done, sure they committed to crime and they broke the cardinal rule and I think most of them own that. Some I don’t think have particularly valid reasons, some admitted to crimes where I find it hard to believe or support that they are free from prison. Alternatively I’m sure some were put in situations where their principles had been broken beyond repair and their options were to fight the mob or cooperate. Neither a good solution. I also don’t support that anyone who doesn’t rat is some kind of hero, in the grand scheme of things they’re criminals who take through violence/intimidation rat or not
