  • Netflix's 'Gett Gotti' is making waves as the number one trending show. It's no surprise that the legend of John Gotti continues to captivate us. While the series revisits known tales, it's well-crafted and a must-watch for any Gotti enthusiast. Today, I'm sharing my insights and takeaways from the show, focusing on the extensive efforts of law enforcement to apprehend Gotti, post-Castellano hit. We'll dive into whether Gotti's infamy truly brought down the mob. Tune in and let's discuss!

      At the end of the day,men like sonny and John Gotti no matter what people say where men of honor that stood tall when they took the oath and understood that life comes with jail or death and excepted their fate. U gotta respect them as men with morals and principals that didn't take the easy way out after getting busted like so many others that committed crimes but didn't except the consequences. I may not agree with the 2 men's actions,but I still have respect for their will to honor their word and integrity,they don't make men like that anymore!!!

    I recently watched the 'Get Gotti' documentary and all it did was aggravate me more about our government and just how conniving they are. It just showed they would go to any length to get someone whether it be you - Michael Franzese, John Gottti or anyone they felt was in need of being taken down. I worked in the government sector for many years and I saw first hand just what our government was really like. That was my main reason for getting away from it. They always talk about how bad the Mafia (LC) is but when you get down to brass tax, the government that is supposed to help and protect everyone is the very one stealing from the ones they swore to protect. Thanks again for another great commentary and bringing out the truth to this 'production'. As always, stay safe my friend and God Bless..

    Serious question Michael...While watching "Get Gotti" I noticed that every time the Feds/other agency went into the Bergin Hunt and Fish Club and Ravenite to bug it, there wasn't a soldier or other Gotti crime family member guarding the INSIDE of the place. Why did they not have someone watching the place in shifts 24-hrs/a day? It seemed to me that as careful as these guys were, they depended on the NEIGHBORHOOD lookout way too much.

    • @chadgrov
      @chadgrov 7 місяців тому +5

      Don’t think they knew the power of bugging their actual hang outs. They would’ve thought the FBI crazy to even attempt it. but they did. I believe those old school guys back then were more worried about guys ratting or being wired up in a place that wasn’t their own. They just must’ve not thought it possible to have their own hangouts broken into and bugged like that. Massive oversight, but only thing I can think of is they just didn’t think THAT would happen.

Side note : it sickens me that the task force threw under the bus their longterm informant willy boy Johnson And still lost their case.

    Maybe Gotti was always seen by many people as an anti-hero. You know, he was handsome, he was always good lookin', and for quite a while he was seen as sticking it to the "man" . He faced the Feds 4 times and they walked. Gottis "profile" grew with each victory. Gotti lived, breathed and embodied THE Mob. I think him organizing the hit on Castalanno was when he was catapultied into the public eye..and he loved it. So he played up to the media..

    The thing that really showed gotti arrogance was that after the 3rd trial, he should’ve known that they were bugging him. They showed him the tapes and he knew they had him so why didn’t he be more careful around the places he stayed? He definitely could’ve prevented getting caught a little earlier if he would’ve moved somewhere else or figured they had him bugged in his places.

    Gotti also knew the ravenite was bugged. He shoulda figured that the FBI could easily find out about him using that ladies apartment. Just a huge mistake which cost him his life (he was gonna go down sooner or later) but he sure as hell made it sooner with his carelessness
    Him knowing how every agency saw him as a prize shoulda made him insanely cautious. Huge L

    How great would it be to spend a few nights with Michael going around New York with him taking you around and telling what went on and happened at what location. Same with some old detectives who knows all the history of the city. Something about crime and crime scenes just fascinates me. It's just a place but that one minute in time it was the most electrifying and dramatic place. After that short time it's just a normal street corner like nothing ever happened with nothing reminding of it.
