      ​@TaniasUncle I have noticed that a lot of people on this channel are not familiar with how full of crap Alite is. You can watch different interviews of him and see for yourself where he says one thing and then changes his story from interview to interview. He just wants people to think he was/is something he isn't. You are right, he is a pathological liar. Even I was fooled at first.

    They don’t understand. I was trained for this since 3 years old. I was trained to be a ball player. I was trained to be a killer. The other people they think they are a killer but they’re not. My father trained me for this from three years old he said you’re a killer. He trained me to be a ball player I had a scholarship. What they didn’t know was he trained me to be a killer from three years old. I was doing push-ups in the basement. 5 push-ups at three years old. 25 push-ups at five years old. Then I was three years old again and I was trained to be a killer.

    I am the softest bleeding heart you'll ever find, but when I hear about this guy killing and maiming innocent people who were just going to work, I really don't give a shit that he has PTSD. I have zero sympathy. It's one thing to beat up some guy who's in the racket, but it's another thing entirely when a guy who needs to pay the rent goes to work and gets shot by some tough guy yokel. Fuck that. .

      Guess the moral of the story is if you’re on your way to be a serial killer, beat hundreds of people, deal tons of drugs, just join a gang and don’t lead it so you can rat on some of the higher ups and do virtually no time and get features on TH-cam channels, book deals etc.

      You have pointed out the only true cure for sin sickness, and that is Jesus Christ. This guy in the interview seems like he's trying to forgive himself and going to therapy for day's on end to find peace but that's the attitude that only makes therapists rich and really provides no true lasting peace. A killer has to confess to God that he realizes he's a killer, and God will forgive a killer, but killing is the one sin that has to be confessed before men also. Because in God's word he says, "He who sheds man's blood, by man must his blood be shed." A life has to be paid for by a life. Not as in an eye for an eye vengeance thing, but this guy sent unrepentant sinners to hell before their time and robbed them of the grace and mercy and forgiveness he now seeks. So a repentant killer has to put himself into the hands of unjust men because it is the right thing to do to complete his life's penance for his actions. And if he is TRULY repentant he would do this gladly. All sins are frankly forgiven but the sin of murder has to be paid for with a life. The life of the murderer.

You e still plagued with ptsd. He’s right. Very right ! Ty for this interview very important to hear.

      I keep wondering why quality of life doesn´t factor in how these mob figures saw themselves as long as they were active criminals. Because what are the chances? You´ll get killed or seriously hurt, spend a sizeable part of your life in jail, have to constantly look over your shoulder, can´t trust anyone, are constantly on the run, etc... etc.... Very few mobsters managed to get old without this happening to them. And you know there´s no way out, because even if you quit on good terms there´ll be a contract on you regardless, because a quitter may cooperate with the FBI at some point.
      Like Joseph Pistone wrote: The mob is driven by greed, and controlled by fear. Must be a miserable life, yet apparently this life still keeps sucking people in and I´m quite puzzled by this fact.

    I appreciate John telling his story as a cautionary tale, but it frightens me how many people will laud the likes of him, Mike Dowd etc as if they're heroes when in fact they inflicted pain and suffering on countless people and arguably have inflicted a net negative upon the world.
    People like this are extremely charismatic and its easy to look at them as sort of antiheroes - flawed characters who are ultimately good people - but despite years in prison and a desire for redemption, you can't just ignore all the bad they have done throughout their lives.
    An awareness of one's misdeeds does not behove society to forgive them. In my opinion, these are not people to respect or look up to, but nonetheless I value the stories being told.

      whether he's a rat or not is his program. I just don't understand all these guys talking about how they killed a bunch of people. The people who gave them their get out of jail cards are the real rats if you ask me. You let a guy out of prison that killed a dozen or more people, you're just as guity as he is. It's all a scam. Deep state mafia

    Powerful interview. I think my grandfather had PTSD. He was plastic surgeon for RAF in ww2. He must have seen terrible things all the time and being expected to fix it. After nervous breakdown after the war he retrained and worked well to the end having his work to distract him and endless cigs. After retirement PTSD horror caught up with him and he gave up on life and would have died but ect treatment and a determined therapist brought him back to us.

    I just finished watching a documentary by a famous British historian about how people could possibly have been caught up in the Nazi regime. The documentary seemed relevant to this. This historian pointed out that each and every one of us likes to imagine that if we had been present at some dark moment in history, we would have been the ones to stand up, think independently and rebel. And yet, almost no one (if anyone at all) did this at these times. If you have grown up with everyone around you--parents, mentors, peers, teachers, leaders--all thinking one way, it takes a very rare individual to have a conscience of his own. It seems that in a very significant way, we are all defined by the circumstances into which we are born. Whatever your folks tell you and raise you to think, that is what you will be for the rest of your life. Unless you are one out of a million. From what this guy says, it is no surprise at all that he became what he became. We can never excuse terrible crimes, but we can try to understand them.

      Yup. If you grew up in Germany during WWII you wouldn't have been an activist speaking out against the nazis... you would have been a nazi. Whether you want to think that about yourself or not doesn't really matter... facts are facts.

      It’s happening in America right now. I don’t see too many people concerned about the fbi arresting journalists or politicians that don’t support the failed joe biden. I’m sure history will look back on the January 6th committee as a start to our end. It’s pure political persecution.
