You do realize that the only one who has ever said this is Alpo right? You are really taking the word of a lying rat? Of course he would find a way to justify killing one of his closet friends. They shot this man in his head as he slept in the car with him. He trusted Alpo enough to fall asleep near him and it costed him his life. And that in turn also cost his younger brother his life as well.
Please keep in mind that no one knew Alpo had anything to do with Rich being killed until he did a FEDS Magazine interview over a decade later while in jail. He hugged and consoled Rich's family after the funeral and told everyone in Harlem that he would help find the killer.
He's a true scumbag and his word doesn't mean shyt.
I also understand Pat Porter's frustration. For 20 years people have been telling her how much they loved and would ride for her brother and what they would do to Alpo if they ever saw him again. I'm not talking regular guys, but life long street guys and gangsters. Knowing some of them, and their reputations I'm sure she believed them and held out some hope that her brothers would be avenged. So I'm sure it was disappointing and heart breaking for her to hear about those same guys welcoming Alpo back with open arms. Love, protect and appreciate your family because they are the only ones that will truly ride for you in the end (if you're lucky and dont have an uncle like Apple).
I feel you but if that was the case, why say anything at all?
He could’ve took that to the grave and nobody would’ve known.
The only people that knew what happened was Po and Big Head Gary.
And if I’m not mistaken, Gary been dead.
