“…The cops arrive, and it turned out I beat up the wrong guy. He wasn’t the mad caller at all. He was some gay guy looking for his friend’s house. Before they took him to the hospital he kept yelling I had a gun. That didn’t help. The cops started looking the gun in the snow where we had scuffled, and some cop who knew about bumpers found it. I was arrested for assault and possession of a loaded revolver and had to spend the rest of the night at the precinct until Al Newman got me out on bail.” (126)
In my last post I talked about how surreal this life seems its perfection through the means of obscurity in crime. This shows that it isn’t all “Peaches and Cream” a lot of these guys went to jail many times over although with all the money they could usually get out fairly quickly. My view has changed on the lifestyle but yet it still fascinates me to no end, making money in whatever way you can, and taking out anyone who stands between you and a job. In excess Henry was truly the most down to earth compared to others, like Tommy DeSimone, who most believed killed for the fun of it.
“It didn’t take anything for these guys to kill you. They liked it. They would sit around drinking booze and talk about their favorite hits” (129)
