1). I'm Italian.

2). I called him a "CARTOON Mafioso thug." Did you miss that as you lashed out at me? "CARTOON Mafioso thug." That means there's some nuance here, which flew under your radar, because attacking me was more important to you. HE CARRIES HIMSELF LIKE A MOB ATTORNEY. HE WORKED FOR GOTTI while he was in LAW SCHOOL. Can you connect those dots? If not, I'm here to help. WORKING FOR JOHN GOTTI MADE HIM A "MOB ATTORNEY." If I am an attorney and defend an AUTO MECHANIC, I am an AUTO MECHANIC ATTORNEY, at least for that case. If I defend a kangaroo, wallabie, wombat, the koala, or Tasmanian devil, I AM A MARSUPIAL ATTORNEY. Tacopina WORKED ON GOTTI'S CASE. Are you with me yet?

3). I'm Italian.

4). Racial stereotypical slur? No, it's called "do the math."

5). I'm Italian.

6). "Tacopina is a very good criminal lawyer"...not last week, according to all reports. He bullied an elderly woman who claimed she was raped. That's not "very good" in my book, but we obviously have very different standards.

7). I'm Italian.

8). "Why does DU allow every Italian American to be accused of being on the mafia?" MAYBE BECAUSE EVERY ITALIAN IS NOT ACCUSED OF BEING IN THE MAFIA ON DU. Maybe if that happened, DU would do something about it. Tacopina is a thug. That's my opinion. You have your opinion. That's the way it's supposed to be. If my opinion upsets you...and it clearly does....please skip ahead to #10.

9). I'm Italian.

10). "What a bunch of bullshit?" Did you know that you can click on my profile and click "ignore" and never see another one of my posts? I suggest you do that, because this is who I am and this is how I communicate. I'm not in the mood for a fight with you, and if you're looking for one with me, you've come to the wrong place.

"Have a nice day"
