Last Call...
What goes around comes around…. Was Paul Castellano’s death an ending to his life long mafia attachment? Did he get what was coming to him? Years of crime. Years of lies. Cheating. Stealing. Fighting. Murdering.
Gotti says 'Fuck Karma'
Enter John Gotti. aka: Teflon Don, Dapper Don, Murderer, Scumbag, etc.. Gotti started his life of crime at a young age as do many employees of the mafia. He was tough. Mean. Ruthless. But he was also starved for attention. In his early years, he was starved for the attention of his bosses. Once he reached the highest of levels, he still needed attention. That attention then came from the media. He was living large. $1,000 shark skin suits. Eating at the best restaurants in Manhattan. He had it all.
John Gotti in his Dapper Dan days
He also had a lifetime of fucking Karma over time and time again. Years after murdering. Years after stealing. Years of the glorious Mob life. He was finally nail in court. Karma?
John Gotti at the end of Karma's circle...
At 12:45pm on June 10th, 2002, Gotti died of throat cancer. But Karma didn’t make it short and sweet for the Dapper Don. While in prison, he was hassled and beating by a white supremest gang. A man who once lived in a mansion was now living in an 8×10 cell. Gotti had the lower half of his jaw removed due to the cancer that lived inside of him. And on his final days, a man who once ate the best steaks and the finest restaurants was now sucking strained pears through a feeding tube. Some say they wished he had never died. They wished for a lifetime of suffering. But, the Teflon Don was Teflon no more. Karma caught him.
Karma is a bitch man.
