The Gotti Boys Done Got Their Asses Beat



PageSix has an interesting story on them damn Gotti boys -- no disrespect intended -- and how aggressively gelled Carmine and Lil John go about their particularly colorful, ahem, "mating rituals" at Long Island malls:

"VICTORIA Gotti's sons Carmine, 18, and John, 17, took a beating last weekend after they allegedly harassed a 15-year-old girl at a Long Island mall."

15? (Averted Gaze; cough suggesting feigned detachment) They deserved to get their asses whupped -- no disrespect intended, of course:

"The 17-year-old brother of the aggrieved girl delivered a beat-down to the Gotti boys after they 'pinched her butt and made disgusting comments' at the Roosevelt Field Mall on Saturday, says our source. The enraged brother and two of his friends approached the Gottis and their 10-person crew after his sister complained about their boorish behavior."

One can only imagine the horror of the scene: Fisticuffs at Fortunoff's; No-no at Tourneau. Diet Cokes being spilled on the freshly waxed floors, some spillage staining the gaudy fur coats of the shopping housewives, who are busy spending their husbands money, while the husbands cavort with their mistresses in Massepequa and Hicksville and Ronkonkoma Counties; big gelled hair being pulled out; Muzak being played over the mall's siera sound system animating the morbid scene... ah, the pleasure that is a Long Island Mall.

"'Next thing you know this kid was really beating the c- -p out of Carmine,' a witness to the melee told PAGE SIX. 'All the Gotti friends were taking cheap shots, punching and kicking the back of this kid's head, but he didn't care. He just continued to beat Carmine till he was bloody, and then he went after John and whupped him, too."

What? Gotti associates not following the Marquis of Queensbury rules of fighting? Acting dishonorable? Wholly without courtliness? Heaven forfend!

"'(The guy who is beating Carmine's ass) was in a zone, repeating, 'Not my sister. I don't care who you are.' And the Gottis' crew couldn't hold him back."

Imagine the intensity involved here... the zone, if you will ... as he methodically, rhythmically, pounds Carmine's gelled noggin systematically -- no disrespect intended. Acoustically recreate the sound of this unknown noble combatant, in defense of his sister's virtue, his balled fist -- no disrespect intended -- popopopping into Carmine's; meat and bone on meat and bone. Such is the zone, that mysterious psychological state reserved for atheletes and hopped up teenagers from the suburbs.

A bead of sweat slowly working its way down his furrowed brow, glistening in the mall's halide lighting. The musak plays in slo-mo. Squinting eyes, inflamed by rage, focused, scrunched, as he repeats over and over, with maniacal intensity and a Clint Eastwood-like frown, breathily, even intimately repeating, 'Not my sister. I don't care who you are.' The Corsair can totally relate -- no disrespect intended, of course. The intimate relationship of hunter and prey.

"'The whole crowd of people was cheering, adults were coming up to the kid after the fight and congratulating him. He really showed those boys they aren't above the law.'"

And, of course, Long Islanders crave "lawr and order," that which separates the suburbs from the ghetto. And acid wash jeans.

"'One security guard said they got a complaint from the mother of a 12-year-old girl the Gottis and their friends had harassed,' another witness said. The youth who beat up the Gottis 'was like 5-foot-10," not that big. Their grandfather [John Gotti] would be rolling over in his grave if he saw that. They not only fought like cowards, they're a bunch of wimps.'"

This dovetails particularly neatly into my pet theory of the evolution of human personality. Threats and force are the particular pedagogical tools of the Gotti Clan, charmed, I'm sure, gained from the many generations in the strong-arm business, no disrespect intended.

Just take a gemlike glare at where those overly-gelled heads came from, and you can already see who they are now, and where they are going, with their anger management issues and unremarkable grammar -- no disrespect intended, of course. The Smokinggun recently threw down in furious anger regarding released tapes of their jailhouse visits to their mobbed up Grandpa, no disrespect intended. Lil John Gotti, Jr is already displaying an attitude which will ultimately contribute to his humiliating ass kicking -- no disrespect intended -- by Fortunoffs and The Pottery Barn at The Mall at the hands of a vengeant brother:

"Despite grandpa's suggestion that he pursue a legal career, little John says he'd rather be an athlete. The Dapper Don, however, doesn't want anyone in his family leading the degenerate life of a baseball or basketball player. Bristling, the lil' wiseguy announces that he'll instead opt for a less glamorous career. That sass doesn't sit well with the incarcerated hoodlum, who threatens the kid with bodily harm and tosses him from the visiting room. Raging at the child's bad attitude, Gotti blames his own wife Victoria: 'That shit comes from your fucking mother, not from me,' he tells his daughter. "

This is hilarious, you have to listen to the audio to get the true (ironic finger quotes) " jailhouse family visitation" feel of the word dysfunctional.And the ignorance on display here -- no disrespect -- is muscular. Sit back, sip a java; I'll transcribe:

John Gotti, Sr: There's a good chance that you might go to school to become a lawyer, (his grandson) John, I hope so ...

Victoria: No, daddy, he is going to become a lawyer.

Lil' John (then, 10 years old): No, I'm not.

Victoria: --Really?

Lil' John: No I'm not (emphatic), I'm gonna be a basketball playa.

John Gotti, Sr:-- You aint gonna be no basketball playa.

Victoria: Don't get smart, smart aleck.

Lil John: -- A Baseball playa.

John Gotti, Sr: You aint gonna be a baseball playa or a basketball playa.

Lil John: Of course I am.

John Gotti, Sr: --Let me tell ya somethin'

Victoria: He's being smart today.

John Gotti, Sr: Let me tell ya somethin' --

Lil John: You're gonna tell me what I want to be.

John Gotti, Sr: Let me tell ya something about basketball playas and baseball playas. To be a good basketball playa or a baseball playa, first of all, you gotta to be a good liar. A good lowlife. And --

Victoria: -- Take a lotta drugs.

John Gotti, Sr: -- You gotta take steroids. You. Must. Take. Steroids. And anybody that takes steroids is a garbage pail.

Lil John: Alright (inaudible)

John Gotti, Sr: I don't care if you wanna be nothin' ... You'll get an ass kicking from me ... you'll never forget the ass kickin you get from me, you understand? .. I'll put my foot right up your ass ... I'm serious as cancer, boy.

Priceless. The iron engine of "Gotti logic." Better than Descartes' La Geometrie. Truly. Now you can see why those boys turned out to be such fuckheads -- no disrespect intended.

I'd have to say I agree with the last person to comment. You guys have no right saying anything about them cause you only see half the picture from what you see on tv. If you get to know them then you have all the right in the world to comment. But, until you know them ... i think you sould keep the comments to yourself. And if you do keep making comments like that .. why don't you at least say who you are and not be anonymous?.. just a thought

what? the gottis are sexy? since WHEN ! They look like wet, over-gelled balls. They have no class whatsoever. Victoria is a good woman, nothing against that, but i guess she has a hard time controling a bunch of hormonal spoiled lil boys who think theyre some gangsters. Yes Gotti was and will always remain one of the biggest and most respected mafioso in this century, but his grandsons should stop acting like THEY are the big boss, cuz between u and me, theyre only some dumb kids with no respect whos grandfather happens to be the Don. Actually i got nothing against the younger gotti kid, its mainly the two others i cant stand. And NO not everybody is jealous of the Gottis u dumb cunt (to the writer above me). U cant buy class, and u sure cant buy sassiness and decency.

Thanks so much for the post, quite helpful piece of writing.

Whenever someone describes gangsters and their families as the scum they are, someone jumps in saying how great they really are. Well, guys who use ORGANIZED torture, extortion, beatings and murder are pussies and SCUM!

A lot of the people commenting in defense of these losers are either ten year old girls or really need to take a literacy test.

I guess it's lucky for the show he was only 17. Another year and that would've been sexual assault on a minor and he could go have sleep-overs in grandpa's cell.

Scum family. Scum fans.
