    I used to go to RI to visit my cousins.I took a friend to a club in Providence.My friend asked why we drove 100 miles to get there.We sat up on the mezzanine drinking.A guy came in with 2 friends to collect rent from the club.The people parted like the Red Sea.The Man wore a very expensive Milan cut silk suit.His friends wore similar suits. The Man came up to the mezzanine with 1 friend. 1 stayed at the bottom of the stairs.He and the owner go into a room and shut the door.Friend of the Man and friend of owner block the door.A few minutes later,The Man and his friends leave.Thats why I come here.Nothing will happen to my car, Nothing will happen here.Its protected by criminals.

    the biggest reason for the abandoning of omerta, was because of the new much longer prison sentences being given.

    Ray was a great man. My Mom and her 5 sisters parents both passed when they were very young. Ray paid their rent for many years and watched over them. I met Ray multiple times when I was a boy and have a lot of respect for him. RIP Ray.

    It always amazes me how America glorifies a particular ethnic group of people (immigrants, legal and illegal) for the crimes they committed against the country and the community. And are awarded in Hollywood with movies etc…but if you dare to extend the same grace and reverence for a ‘different’ ethnic group who are not immigrants, were in America for at least 2-3 generation before these criminals even stepped foot here and some how some way, they are glorified for their acts and celebrated for their crimes.

    Raymond, in front of the house Select Committee, refers to the government and what's really going on in our country... that he would love to tell us and "Lay the Law down".... I wish that he did. He could've shed light upon what led up to our current corrupt and dangerous political situation - even within the current global spectrum. So he says he was "hoodwinked" by our government; used and then cast away as the scapegoat.

    • @doubleghod
      @doubleghod 7 ปีที่แล้ว

      Yea, he may be right on viz his assessment of the corrupt govt but that accurate assessment does not diminish the fact that he is an immoral, lying, thieving mother fucker.

      @@heartofgoldfilmandtheatre I never met him, but I know people who have, and yes, he was a nice guy to his friends, and his guys who protected him, killed for him and BROUGHT MONEY to him! But, let's face it, everything he had was gained through lying, stealing, extorting hard-working innocent people, and MURDER! I grew up near his office and , well, I'm not getting into that! Let's just say, I knew many associates from the bars I hung out in, my friends, my friends fathers, brothers, cousins, uncles etc. and they were always good to me, never had a problem!
