"Look At Them, They're Dead..." | Sammy "The Bull" Gravano

hey guys i'm going to do another video today i got a lot of people telling me they want to hear some different stories stories that are a little bit longer i'm gonna go back to uh when i was young before i got involved with the mafia i was in the rampers and uh me and my friend joe vitale we grew up together and one day we were going to go on an armed robbery and we got everything together ski masks we went and steal his car we were on flatbush avenue i was stopped at a light and uh putting on gloves and my ski mask and i had a 45 laying on my lap we had parked my legitimate car after the robbery was done you take this stolen car and dump it and get into my car and take off and go home didn't work out that way at a light on flatbush avenue a car comes speeding right up next to us and the guy was half hanging out the passenger side and he had a rifle in his hand and he was screaming i'll blow your [ __ ] head off i looked to my left i put my hand up and ducked sideways a little bit and i was telling them oh oh take it easy take it easy and as i was doing that my right hand went and i got the 45. as he turned away to tell the driver of his car to pull in front of us i heard his words but his head the back of his head was facing me i took the gun put it out the window and i pulled the trigger three times the gun jammed nothing happened i literally stood there for a second or two in shock while he was turning back around he must have heard the click of the gun but nothing to happen joe vitale told me hit it and i hit the gas and we're flying on the street speeding down flatbush avenue they chased us the guy was shooting at the car the windows would explode one bullet hit the radio the radio just exploded it ignited he was shooting the car left and right i was going to the left to the right try to wobble to get away from it and uh all of a sudden a bullet hit me in the back of the head on the side of my head on the right side of my head my head bounced off of the steering wheel i put my hand up and there was blood pouring out blood all over me and i started feeling lightheaded i knew if you got hit in the head you would normally die i was still awake i thought any minute i would just kill over and die so i turned to my friend as i was driving and i said joe i'm hit and i heard him tell me me too sammy i turned to the side a little bit and i had his hands on his lap holding his stomach guts everything he was a mass of blood the bullet had to go through the back of the car the back seat the back of the front seat into his back out of his stomach i was going so fast that he had his foot up just in case we crashed and it hit him in the leg as well i knew we were getting destroyed i had to do something i hit an avenue and i made a left turn literally on two wheels because i was doing about 70 80 miles an hour at that point and i made the turn so did he and he was still shooting so then a side street came up and i said let me go down this side street i think i got a better chance i tried to make the turn at that speed and it didn't work i hit five or six or seven park cars my car exploded steam coming out of the front i mean it was destroyed i heard his car come up and stop i heard the wheels and the brakes and i heard the door open i knew it was over i thought he would just run over and kill the two of us then i heard sirens in the background then i heard their door again they got back in their car and they took off i looked at my friend joe joe get out of the car i hear cops they're coming bro we got to get out of here people were starting to come out of their homes i went around to his door opened his door helped him out i put one of his arms over my shoulder and my other arm around his waist and me and him hobbled up the street we went into uh an alleyway to hide police cars were pulling up left and right so i told him joe we got to get out of here we got to keep going bro we're going to get busted he says sammy i'm dying i know bro i know i know but we got to keep going come on we hobbled out of that you know out of that alleyway and we went up the block we got to the corner where this avenue was and out of nowhere there was a cab coming waved the ski master gloves the gun was still in the car i didn't even know where it was the cab pulled over when i waved i opened the door behind the driver i put my finger the knuckle of my finger to the back of his head he felt something and i told him don't even [ __ ] move or i'll kill you okay okay and then he looked while my friend joe got in my friend joe was covered with blood it was i never seen anything like it he was petrified and i told him to go where my car was located my legitimate car he drove us there i told him to stop he stopped we got out of it i told him just pull away he pulled away he left a patch of rubber he was petrified this poor guy and he took off we got in my car and we went back to our neighborhood jerry popper the leader of the rampas was there at this time in life he was already hooked up with the genovese family a maid guy named duchy when we got to him he took over driving my car i got in the passenger seat and joe vitale was in the back we went to duchy's club to see if we can possibly get patched up as papa went in when he came out with duchy i'll never forget this he looked into the car and he said jerry look at them bro they're dead there's nothing i could do get them out of here jerry papa got back in the car by this time my dizziness and my lightheadedness started to ease up a little bit and i told him drive us to the coney island hospital started going to the coney island hospital by the time we got there i put my hand on my head the bleeding was slowing down it wasn't bleeding like it like it was and i didn't feel lightheaded at all so i turned to joe vitale and i said listen joe we're gonna get to the place the emergency door where the emergency room is just push your way into the door and flop on the floor they got to take care of it i'll take care of you bro he was moaning he was in tremendous pain i says i'm not going to come out i don't think i need this i'm gonna go get patched up good luck bro and we did that joe got out bursted through the door flopped on the floor we turned around and left we went back to the neighborhood where i picked every papa up he got out i got in touch with my brother eddie garafolo and uh we went upstate it was somebody who did some patching up work and some illegitimate stuff and we went to him he was a veterinarian wasn't a real doctor but veterinarians are doctors he started taking care of me he patched me up and he said sammy another fraction of an inch the bullet would have penetrated your head it would have blew your head off he said it cut the skin touched the scalp and it went off to the side it was probably the angle of the bullet i stayed upstairs for a couple of days it was all over the neighborhood that me and joe vitale had a fight an argument and we shot each other he was already in the hospital in coney island hospital he was there for a couple of days he was actually there for a couple of months so i knew i had to go back in i went back in those were the days of the beetles and everything my hair was long i had a bandage covered my bandage with the hair i went into the police station and detectives started talking to me they said sammy we know what happened you and joe had an argument he just went you shot each other he's in the hospital and you know we got the whole story we just need you to tell us what happened i said listen i didn't shoot anybody number one number two i didn't get shot the guy messes with my hair a little bit there's a bandage well what's that i said i had an argument with a guy and he hit me with a pipe and i got cut who bandages you up none of your [ __ ] business what what's i mean i don't even know what you're talking about you're talking about a fight you want to know who did it oh you're trying to be a smart guy no not being a smart guy at all i said who told you that we shot each other that's crazy we're friends he said well joe is in the hospital and he told us i knew that was [ __ ] and they're going to be the good cop and talk to me good cop bad cop play [ __ ] games joe would never do that so i said where is he in the coney island
