MOB RAT SPOTTED AND LOOKS, WELL, LIKE HE SHOULD. SCUM!
Under most circumstances, the life and times of Salvatore "Sammy The Bull" Gravano don't concern me. I pretty much swept him under the rug 25 years ago as a complete and utter disgrace to the mob, his friends, and just in general.
Just recently, there was a photo posted by TMZ, showing Sammy in one of his favorite spots in Scottsdale, Arizona. He was picking up food to take home and he looks every bit of 72 and then some.
I honestly, don't care about him or anything he's selling, and believe me if any of the rumors are true, you will be seeing Gravano on television at some point in the venue of "reality television." While that is pretty amusing in every sense, their is something else I wanted to discuss.
We can make arguments all day long. Salvatore Gravano at one point, was a feared man, and for good reason.
We can talk about his construction rackets, his intimidation, his lore, but those days are behind him.
Rather, I want to discuss what a disgusting individual he is. It's not only because he ratted out half the mob, or put John Gotti behind bars for the rest of his life.
Those things are well noted, but one thing that doesn't seem to echo from journalists is the fact that he murdered 19 people. Did I say 19? Maybe in fact many many more.
Gravano was caught telling several inmates while in Arizona that it was closer to 60 people that he murdered. Their can be an oft used line by myself, that in the life you will murder as a means to an end. I have also said I don't know if you could ever justify murder in any sense, but in this case we will take the stance that murder was a device, a means to an end. One of the other things often spewed by his daughter Karen is that, "they only kill each other." Tongue in cheek explaining that everyone knows the deal. They signed up for it. While that is true in some senses, you have to look at who Gravano killed and why.
Gravano not only killed people, he killed his best friend Louis Milito. Why? He says he was told to. Yet he soon took over some of his rackets. Robert DiBernardo? Same thing. He was quick to take over porn rackets and construction rackets, but not because he was some genius, but because if you had something the bull wanted, he'd kill you for it, and take it.
John Gotti can be heard on wiretaps bellyaching about Gravano lying non stop about things. Not only could Sammy not stop stealing rackets, but used his position to lie to John Gotti to force his hand. "I took his word, his word that he was talkin' subversive about me," is perhaps one of the biggest things I ever took from John Gotti being caught on wiretaps. It's proof that Gravano would lie to not only enhance his business portfolio but the majority of the time he would quickly move in and take whatever business he wanted.
This is also a man who killed his own brother in law Pete Scibetta. His wife's brother. There is no justification for that. None that I could find, other than some rumors, which I won't divulge here. If you are in the same circles as me, you know those rumors well. But....there is more.
Gravano killed an innocent child. Not some associate, not some knock-around guy. No. An innocent 16 year old named Alan Kaiser. I loosely know his sister Joi, and while I am very protective of her feelings, you need to understand those circumstances, not because the details I want to share, but because you need to understand for yourself what a pile of demonic shit Gravano truly is.
August 5, 1977 at 10:30 p.m. Alan was walking down Kings Hwy in Brooklyn, minding his own business. He wasn't bothering anyone. Louis Milito and Salvatore Gravano are driving by. They pulled up alongside Kaiser, and waved him over to the car. As Kaiser approached the car, he was shotgunned in the head and chest by Milito and finished off by Gravano. Why? Mistaken identity. This young man, who was innocent, beloved by his family was stolen by two psychopaths for absolutely no reason. The Kaiser family has had to endure looking at this pile of vomit since then.
To make matters worse, it should have been a capital offense. The problem is the Government continues to accept this type of behavior as long as they tell on someone they feel is of more importance. Their is absolutely zero reason for the Government to accept that sort of thing. If Anthony Casso can do a life sentence for killing an innocent child, despite testifying, then the same should be used in Gravano's case. Not only did Gravano kill an innocent child, he snuffed out at the minimum 19 others. Those families have to endure knowing what he did too.
Gravano in exchange for his testimony, gets 5 years. That's it. Jeffery Dahmer didn't get 5 years. Richard Ramirez didn't get 5 years, John Wayne Gacy didn't get five years. They got put away for the rest of their lives and they are serial killers. That's what Salvatore Gravano is.
He gets out of prison, and tries to live a normal life, then is caught selling drugs to children. We aren't talking small scale here. 31,000 ecstasy pills, $500,000 a week profit. His daughter, his wife, his son, all were involved. How Karen Gravano can sit on any high end moral compass is beyond me. She is a drug dealer. She may not have sold them herself, but she helped hide the money. Wire fraud and bank fraud and more are not just happenstance crimes. Gravano ends up getting ratted on by his co-defendants and gets hammered with 20 years. How did he not violate his parole from the FBI's case against him? How when he was sentenced was that not brought up? How did someone with multiple convictions and murders not get a life sentence? How is that supposed to make the Kaiser family feel safe? How does that make society safe?
While we can go around in circles about this matter for hours, the truth is, Salvatore Gravano has ruined hundred of lives and has continued to get pass after pass after pass. It's not right, and certainly an acceptable by all accounts when it comes to how the Government rewards people like Gravano then doesn't hammer them when the truth about who they are comes out. It's the tattle tale that gets the lollipop as usual and the victims get treated as they are cancer ridden lepers. What has to change is the way in which the Government handles itself and it's moral compass. Until then human trash like Gravano will continue to haunt those who've lost loved ones.
