The Last Pic of John Gotti
:scared:



Family furious as last photo of John Gotti hits Net

The last photo of cancer-stricken mob boss John Gotti depicts a not-so-Dapper Don - and its release left his spouse a less-than-merry widow.

"It breaks my heart to see yet again the need for people to not allow him to rest in dignity...," an angry Victoria Gotti said Tuesday after the grim picture of a terminally-ill Gotti was posted on the Internet.

"It's sad that some human beings are such ghouls."

The 61-year-old Gambino family boss, in a head shot taken by the federal Bureau of Prisons less than eight months before his 2002 death, appears pale and doughy.

He's wearing a nondescript gray T-shirt, and his once-thick mane is receding, thinning and turning white.

The photo is the antithesis of Gotti's public face from the 1980s, when the menacing boss - clad in $2,000 Brioni suits, his skin bronzed and hair perfectly coiffed - reigned as public enemy No. 1.

1. Good! Those worthless greasebags of a family should STFU!
This shitbag deserves no dignity.

2. Death doesn't confer sainthood
and the picture of him as an ordinary human being instead of some powerful demigod will come as some comfort to the people he terrorized.

Tough shit for the family.

4. I always wanted to see him in his prison jumpsuit, never did...
but this will do nicely.

Hope it was painful, you evil fuck.

7. I am sorry that his family will
have to live with his legacy but the notion that he should have or deserves any dignity is absurd.

9. "It's sad that some human beings are such ghouls."
Coming from the Mafia princess whose father whacked a repentant next door neighbor after he ACCIDENTALLY killed Gotti's son.

As far as I'm concerned, he doesn't deserve any fucking dignity, nor do any of the leeches milking his name for a modicum of the limelight.

10. What are they upset about? He was alive & looks like he was posing for it.
Plus, it goes beyond tabloid tradition to photograph the corpse, even nekkid, of infamous people, as in DILLINGER and Che GUEVARRA. I've got the one of GUEVARRA saved, but if I posted it here, I'm sure I would provoke an immolation (of me)--which might happen just with these WORDS!1
