      They say the same thing if you offer them $ afterwards. Because you got it.
      “I’m not your whore!!!”
      I didn’t say you were. I just figured you could use the $. I’m a nice guy like that.
      But since you made a big deal out of it forget it.
      “That’s not what I meant”.
      Oh ok. Now you take my $?

      @@peoplepower8830 I see where your coming from...but...theres a major BUT,which is,this was a diffrent time in our country,and that ALOT men were envolved in this life,all diffrent kinds. (And you cant tell me they were all psychopaths because of it,thats just impossible) These men took a sacred oath as would a doctor or law professional or first responder. Its just a diffrent type of oath. We may not understand it,but it wasnt for us to understand then. We do now. And maybe im biased being im from NY and grew up there during these times. My family immigrated here to Ellis Island and i know that some of my familial group participated as well. And they werent psychos at all. Its just that during that time and in so many cases for these immigrant familys your choices and money and education were limited for these young men. Because they had to help their familys at such a young age just to survive and make it. Its not like it is today at all. So no i dont think hes a Psychopath at all. I think hes a product of his environment and the times and where he lived. It was "the perfect storm" if you will. Hes payed his dues and repented and i think its high time we allow him to do that. He lives with what he has done everyday. We the public dont need to make it worse or vilify him any further. Hes a free man now. Lets let him be that. Have a heart people, nobody is perfect. And everyone makes mistakes they regret. Dont judge but try to see things from a different view. Or do some research if you want to know about something. Thats all i have to say. Sorry so long everyone.

      What is stupid... talking as you have to someone you do not know. All sorts of people could be here at any moment. To blindly insult is pretty stupid. At the end of every day, keyboards and phone screens never have a person's back.
      Most people have a past. It is what they do now and who they are today which often matters. I do not expect a religious mind to understand. But he is much different than he was.
      And you need to learn definitions of words before trying to use them in a sentence. Sociopaths do not have emotions humans are capable of. A sociopath would not be sad about anyone, friend or not.
      Not to mention he is making videos, sharing stories. Sociopaths exhibit extreme anti-social behavior.
      Something he does not exhibit.
      Stupid is attempting to take part in conversation without first understanding what one is saying. Your response was a stupid thing to say. Not to mention the lie.
      Stupid is insulting a person after lying about them.
      There are many things which can be considered stupid. As of this moment, a huge chunk of those things point back at yourself.

You/I/We get so engrossed in the story, the way your voice goes into almost a monotone, especially when it gets to the really heavy emotions, like rage, anger, revenge(when you talk about it, it is an emotion). And on the other end of the emotional “rainbow”, you get almost a glow about you, and the corners of your mouth turn up ever so slightly(and there’s a little glint in your eyes that peeks out, even from behind the glasses. I’m not a big fan of podcasts, but this one makes me wanna start digging for some others, knowing that I’ll never find one that will beat this one! Thank you for taking the time to tell these “stories” of your life! Cable tv tries to tell them, but you lived through them. We are hearing the parts that tv producers leave out, either they don’t know about, or are worried about telling them out loud and who might hear and come knocking on their doors early morning to go for a drive down to the harbor… if my grandpa was alive, he would love this channel. He’s the one that got me into mafia/mob movies and documentaries and listening to you, brings back some great memories about him.
