Tough guys don’t tweet.
At least they don’t tweet threats – for apparent causes. The previous saying applies: Never let your mouth write a test your rear-end can’t money.
Sean O’Brien, the pinky-ring Teamster thug out of Local 25 in Charlestown, clearly didn’t get the memo. Which is why he has been be-clowning himself for months now with these empty insults in opposition to Sen. Markwayne Mullin of Oklahoma, like this one from June:
“Greedy CEO who pretends like he’s self made. In reality, just a clown & fraud. Always has been, always will be. Quit (sic) the tough guy act in these senate hearings. You know where to find me. Anyplace, Anytime (sic) cowboy.”
O’Brien, now the nationwide capo di tutti pinky rings, tweeted that after he tangled with Mullin at a listening to in March. Mullin requested the query that even these of us who spent many years (in opposition to our wills) in unions at all times needed to ask the fats thugs operating our locals:
“What job have you created – one job?” Mullin requested. “Other than sucking the paycheck out of somebody else?”
The fact hurts, particularly if you happen to imagine that having a shaved head makes you a tough man. So when Chromedome O’Brien went again to DC this week, Mullin known as him out on the insulting tweets and mainly threatened to offer him a knuckle sandwich.
So Cueball O’Brien began whining, “Let’s have coffee.” Perhaps he lastly realized that “cowboy” was once a combined martial arts fighter. And O’Brien – who flaunts his “SOB” initials on Twitter/X – sniveled to a Democrat operative with a press cross that Mullin “started it.”
What is that this, a schoolyard shoving match?
Fake robust guys like O’Brien are available a number of varieties. First, you will have the full frauds like Joe Biden – “Corn Pop was a bad dude!”
Then you will have second-hand robust guys, who regard themselves as being by some means linked to actual wiseguys. This describes O’Brien – his late daddy Billy was as soon as named in a federal indictment for renting a getaway automobile for a Charlestown armored-car-robbing crew that murdered two guards in a 1994 heist in Hudson NH.
The previous man was by no means charged, however the G-men busted into his home and grabbed $50,000 in money. It’s been speculated that SOB’s thug father labored for the feds as a rat, which is smart. That Code of Silence in Charlestown, like in all places else, was a bunch of bleep.
Plus, O’Brien is a bigtime Democrat. And you may’t spell Democrat with out “rat.”
So SOB at all times received to brag to his suburban highschool classmates about his previous man being a Townie wiseguy. Big deal. How’d that Mob factor work out for the Hughes household, or the McLaughlins, or the Murrays, or the Does…?
There’s one other means you may spot a pretend robust man. They’re surrounded by thugs who deal with the moist work for him. That matches SOB to a tee.
If you’re an actual robust man, your status precedes you. A lawyer in a Miami mob trial as soon as requested hitman Johnny Martorano if he was a “tough guy.”
“That’s not for me to say,” Martorano replied.
SOB as soon as received suspended from his six-figure thug job after he went all the way down to Rhode Island and threatened some native dissidents with a harangue out of “On the Waterfront:”
“Anyone who takes on my friend… they’ve got major problems. They’ll never be our friends. They need to be punished. They need to be punished and they need to be held accountable for their actions.”
The dissidents have been rolling tape when he spit it out, with numerous spittle. So SOB was left with the standard alibi of a big-mouth pretend robust man – he had used a “poor choice of words.”
Next time maintain your yap shut, pal. You’ll be rather a lot higher off. And don’t make any empty threats, particularly not in public. The man who arrange the Chicago Outfit earlier than Al Capone was named Johnny Torrio. If Torrio had a beef with any individual, this was the very first thing he instructed them:
“We don’t want any trouble.”
But SOB does need hassle, as a result of 1) he’s a hot-tempered moron, and a couple of) any individual else goes to do the soiled work for him.
Remember the “Top Chef” trial? The PBS collection was filming in Milton with out the standard thug contingent from Local 25, when O’Brien was the capo of the brotherhood.
It was the standard Teamster bleepshow. Tires slashed, gays known as “pickles,” telling the feminine host she was a “whore” and threatening to interrupt her “pretty little face.”
The feds indicted a few of the plug-uglies who encompass SOB (together with the grandson of an previous Mob hitman named Suitcase Fidler) however they beat the rap. In the halls of justice, the one justice is within the halls.
O’Brien is 51, too previous to be taught any new tips. I’m positive he’ll proceed making a idiot of himself. That’s simply what pretend robust guys do.
Did anybody ever inform O’Brien that an actual wiseguy doesn’t threaten anyone, he simply does no matter he’s going to do?
I wrote a e book about Martorano – Hitman, nonetheless out there at amazon. He pleaded responsible to 19 murders. Every time he’d inform me about one of many killings, I’d ask him if the sufferer had had any final phrases. You know, like “You dirty rat!” or “Top o’ the world, Ma!” Like in an previous Warner Brothers gangster film with James Cagney.
Finally, concerning the twelfth time I requested Martorano the last-words query, he simply shook his head.
“You watch too many movies,” he mentioned. “Nobody says anything. You just do it.”
Unless, in fact, you’re a pretend robust man. Like SOB.
