Immortal, the information you have provided in this thread is valuable to me, and as I have said, definitely salient to North Americans.
No. I wouldn't lose a single night's sleep knowing a nark landed in a NJ dump. He'd just be there with the cars and trash and scrap metal and stuff. No loss. There are Rules one must take into account before ratting or doing bad things to good people.
Fortunately, they still have, probably, some time left. Things change. The mafia of 1997 is not the mafia of today. People shift around.
Still, if I were Russian...I think I'd just go ahead and take some of the more potent stuff, and in a large enough dosage to make it as painless as possible.
There is, in some circles, little difference between a Nark and an Informant. I'm not sure there is even a difference in translation from certain languages into English. I doubt such translation exists in reality, applied to the culture about which you were speaking.
But, applied to Americans, the information you have given is definitely worth reading and re-reading.
