Buying this book supports violence and drug dealing. It's like buying a shirt made by child slaves. Why would anyone want to give him money after what he did to children and families in Southie? We're just telling these guys that crime does pay and that we'll pay for it.I heard a long interview with him talking about how he didn't "rat" anyone out. What's our definition of rat? Someone who peddles poison to kids and poor people and then breaks their face when they can't keep up.The Rat Bastard is John Shea as well as the elusive "Whitey".
