>>>>> Don't make me have to come back to NYC to kick Whiney Ratso Vito Bruno in the ass personally --- if he some how pulls his Speck Alto Adige out of the fire on Election Day <<<<<
For about three months Andy Gounardes and his well-financed campaign have been pounding Vito Bruno and his personal history of managing, promoting and owning a string of after-hours and night clubs that made money for Vito and even less savory people for decades by creating and facilitating an environment of wild and unprotected sex, drugs and drug-related violence at those after-hours and night clubs --- and that pounding was well-researched and well-produced high-end material.....
Remember that in 1983, Vito Bruno admitted to his part in a pattern of police corruption involving several Manhattan night clubs --- it was during a NY Times interview in which Bruno bragged about how generous he was in his payoffs to the cops
Since then, in March 2020, Vito Bruno was interviewed by the "Brooklyn Paper" and tacitly admitted to almost all of the serious charges put to him by that paper at that time
In addition, late in July of 2020, there was a very hard-hitting expose in the Daily News --- telling everybody what a bad person Vito Bruno had admitted to being in the past, and why that made it difficult for him to come across as a law & order GOP State Senate candidate now
Vito Bruno has never come close to publicly repenting about anything that he WAS or DONE or SAID in the past --- nothing close to a "Come to Jesus" moment for Vito --- quite the opposite, Vito still fondly remembers his days and nights and after-hours escapades in his club phase and "Outlaw" phase; and he brags about all of it still
In the meantime >>> we here at "The Brooklyn and Staten Island Independent GOP Fountainhead" have been doing our own >>> intense fact-based personal pounding of Vito Bruno <<< but for a much longer period of ten or eleven months now. --- It was done on the cheap and was not high-end well-produced material >>> but that is and was no less well-researched, and no less accurate and authoritative.....
Then, we here at "The Brooklyn & Staten Island Independent GOP Fountainhead" started trotting out some of the facts about the past of Vito Bruno; and eventually started calling him "Ratso" for readily apparent reasons..... (Many, many of Vito Bruno's business associates and direct competitors have gone to jail for everything from murder and other criminal homicides, to tax evasion, to police and public corruption, and on, and on, and on... but not Vito --- even when he publicly admitted to his own police corruption, the very same article stated he was not part of the Federal investigation of police corruption that was then still ongoing --- Yes sir, "Ratso" sure seems to fit.....)
Republicans need to keep being reminded that Vito Bruno WAS and still IS a guy that owns and is still proud of his background that includes this:
His start in the night clubs business was right here in the neighborhood very close to where he is now running for the NYS State Senate >>> that was "2001 Odyssey," six decades back in the 1970s --- with a movie that parodied and caricatured Itlos just like Vito and many others from Bay Ridge, Dyker Heights and Bensonhurt [with Vito still making lots money off of it as recently 2017];
Years later, Vito graduated to the big time in Manhattan and he denigrated and decried outer-borough "Guidos with their unbuttoned shirts and gold chains" at his clubs --- instead he cultivated an "A-list" clientele, augmented by readily accessible drugs at his clubs --- and even when that business practice ended badly for Vito Bruno's most notable customer, John Belushi --- Vito used the event promotionally by putting himself into the middle of it with his interview by Bob Woodward, which was memorialized in Woodward's book about Belushi, "Wired";
That was only part of the problems at Vito Bruno's after-hours and night clubs in the 1980s. Along with the drugs came the drug-related gun violence, and that gun violence became part and parcel of the Hip-Hop culture and music that Vito featured and promoted at his and other clubs;
When the authorities started making the club business as practiced by Vito Bruno more and more difficult, Vito's business plan shifted away from the static clubs to a model of floating "Outlaw" parties and events that invaded many communities both in Manhattan and in the outer boroughs --- they too were hotly pursued by authorities as public nuisances in residential neighborhoods around the New York City;
THE DEMOCRATS KNOW IT --- AND THEY TALK ABOUT IT A LOT
Don't think that the Gounardes campaign and the Bay Ridge Dems don't know how to keep beating a drum once they've started >>> look at what they did to Marty Golden and his driving in 2018 <<< And trust me, they have so much more music to play against sex, drugs and rock'n'roll Ratso Vito Bruno --- and it all has a heavy drum beat and even maybe some cowbell on the radio and on TV.....
THINGS TO COME [NOT BY H.G. WELLS]
What is coming is that >>> the Democrats will weaponize the Vito Bruno fiasco and use it again and again against other Brooklyn GOP and Conservative Party candidates, it started in 2020, but it won't end there. It will continue into the 2021 municipal races <<< They intend for Ratso Vito Bruno to be the gift that keeps on giving for years to come.....
