Did people this evil and psychotic actually exist in the Mafia or is it just Hollywood bullshit?
IT'S A FUGAYZI IT'S A FUGAHZI
People this evil and psychotic exist in the Italian Restaurant business, let alone The Mafia.
>>214224709He was worse in real life. Henry told a story about him shooting a civilian for literally no reason. He also was only in his late twenties when he died, and was like 6',2" or something IRL.
>>214224709It's like bullies in 80's teen movies. It's just fabricated non-sense. In reality, everyone was basically friends and got along.
>>214224915Henry Hill is a lying drunk
>>214224915henry hill was a notorious bullshitter
>>214224927You are wrong, bullies were very violent especially in Maine
>>214224709The Saint Valentine's Day Massacre was more gruesome than anything that happens in Goodfellas. Mobsters dressed up as cops, lined their rivals against the wall as if they were about to arrest them, and slaughtered them all. So, yeah, safe to say the real-life Mafia is pretty fucked. Also Joe Pesci's character is based on someone who actually existed.
>>214224915Paulie also fucked Karen. Jimmy was a scary looking dude in real life, too. Killed his own foster father as a boy by grabbing the steering wheel and forcing him into a car crash. The other story I heard were about Tommy and Jimmy "talking" with their friends they had murdered and buried behind the bar as if they were having casual everyday conversations with them. Real life mobsters are insane people, look at Sam DeStefano.
>>214224915was gonna post the mugshot but forgot
>>214224709>Did people this evil and psychotic actually exist in the Mafiahttps://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roy_DeMeo>>214224927LMAO. These guys are the archetype for every cartoonish backstabbing gangster you saw on TV. They are and have always been seen as fake smiled crooks out for themselves.
>>214224962That was in the 1920s when gangsters were still using tommy guns. Back then you could get away with something like that.
>>214224962Crazy to think back then they would post dead bodies and fire on the front of newspapers.
>>214224709sure but it's overblown. committing capital offenses during lucrative business ventures isn't a winning idea
>>214224962>>214225170Makes more sense when you consider the wild west had only ended like 40 years prior.
unless you were a gambling addict you could probably completely avoid these scumbags even back then
>>214224709People like this in every strata. It's like the Scarface litmus test. People that identify with and glorify Scarface are probably pieces of shit. You aren't supposed to "like" any of these people. Marty had a good handle on this for a while, as Taxi Driver, Raging Bull, Goodfellas, and Casino represented what pieces of shit these people are. But then he kind of fell in love with the fun instead of the character, which led to The Wolf of Wall Street, which made a crooked asshole piece of shit come across as the most awesome life ever. He went from artfully detailing how awful it was to be like that to how awesome it is to be human garbage. The Irishman is some weird compromise, that shows the mundanity of being a piece of shit in life, but the damage was done. A Tarantino effect of wanting to make bad people look cool and good in some way rather than just being depicted as bad. Entertaining, but weird messaging of morality and pleasure.
>>214225223They did control a lot of the workers' unions in NYC, but as long as you minded your business it seems like you were mostly fine.
>>214225116Nta but gangsters became more and more ego filled and retarded. The "death" of the mob was in the late 70s and early 80s when they were letting more psychopaths into roles of leader ship, more greedy retards making their money off drugs and prostitutes. They started killing each other or ratting to the feds. A few of them managed to go into "legitimate" business and basically are just corporate criminals now.
>>214225076The more I read about Roy the less bad he seems to me. The whole murder machine thing was kind of forced on them by the Gambinos and basically everyone his crew was taking out was involved in crime. The one time Roy took out an innocent person (a vacuum sales he mistook for a Cuban hitman) it really ate away at him.
>>214224709>heres that 21 year old kid I was tellin ya about
>>214225170They still publish gore in some smaller papers today. It isn't technically illegal and the only test to regulate content like that is mostly applied to pornographic images. The issue is privacy rights to what would be considered forensic evidence. Then there's ethical guidelines that most major publishers follow to ensure they stay out of controversy.
>>214224962That was considered low even by the code of the time.
>>214224709>>214224915The guy Pesci played in Casino was actually his midget height though and just as psycho as depicted
>>214224962AYE OOOHH! LISTEN UP YA LOUSY BUMS! HANDS ON DA BRICKWORK, NICE AN SLOW! YA MUGS ARE UNDER ARREST, SEE? DONT GIVE ME NO LIP. TONY, SLAP DEM CUFFS ON EM BEFORE I CHANGE MY MIND!>whatever you say, officer
>>214224709it was based on the jewish mafia look up murder inc
>>214225245It was people like Gotti playing it up. After Carlo Gambino died and Gotti killed his successor, it just drew so much attention to the Mafia that the FBI couldn't not do anything about it anymore without making themselves look like clowns. Similar thing happened in Philly when Angelo Bruno (notorious for being fair and lowkey) got whacked and eventually succeeded by Nicky Scarfo who was a total psychopath.
>>214225309Again, worse guy in real life. The details of the "head in a vice" scene are way more gruesome in real life. He finished the guy off by lighting him on fire.
>>214224993>Real life mobsters are insane people,Too many people don't understand this. They think the Italian mob families were any less niggerish than literal street nigs just because they had political muscle and move millions in cash. They sadistically tortured the son of a capo by tying him to a mattress coil frame and hooking it up to a battery that shocked him every few minutes.
>>214224709I've lived around a lot of Italians and yeah it captures their mannerisms and disposition quite well. Stereotypical cliche one after the another.
>>214225339The American Mafia was established by Lucky Luciano (Sicilian) and Meyer Lansky (Jewish). Basically, they killed the two old timer Sicilian bosses in NYC (which was actually a smart move, those two guys refused to work with non-Sicilians, let alone Jews, Irish or anyone else. Sometimes they even refused to work with people not from the same village they were. It was stupid and costing everyone money. Lansky and Luciano are the ones to thank for truly organized crime in America).
>>214225180Tbf that’s why they whacked him in the movieBut you’re right being a psycho is a great way to get busted
>>214225230Goodfellas, Casino, and WoWS are all the same movie and all true stories>Guy gets seduced by life of crime>Has hot but crazy wife>Loose cannon best friend that fucks everything up>Arrest montage>The main guy gets a slap on the wrist cause real life aint a James Cagney movie
>>214225386one mobster had his son get ran over by a blue collar worker with a ditch digger when the kid was playing tag, in return he promised he'd forgive the guy and court found him not guilty. I'm like 90% sure it ended with him being tortured and found in a trunk
>>214225483>ditch diggerexcavator*
>>214225270If it bleeds, it leads. You don't see it on broadcast but that shit still gets published in papers big and small. Shit, print is a dying industry and always needed a lurid edge to sell from the day it was born.
>>214224709Hollywood exists to glamorize and lionize the mob for dealing with the Bolsheviks same as them
>>214225483>>214225506That sounds like a retelling of the story about John Gotti's son being run over and killed by the neighbour, and the neighbour disappearing shortly after.
>>214225542probably is
>>214225483>>214225506Gotti limped because an excavator he tride to steal tipped over and messed up his leg. His kid got hit by a neighbor while riding his bike. Neighbor got disappeared after insulting Gotti's wife.
>>214225476Yeah except each movie has a different style and conclusions. >Goodfellas chronicles a nobody that enters crime as a profession with a local mob. He comes up from a kid to an adult in the life as he is corrupted over decades and is victim to his own circumstances, ultimately ratting out the whole mob he was with to live a shit life in witness protection, getting his just desserts in the end. Casino is about a grown man piece of shit fixer who seems dead inside also working for mafia and the piece of shit "friend" he has that is a psycho asshole criminal, and he married a broken whore, and the ups and downs of being a piece of shit, and only he survives because of a fucking car he bought and continues being a piece of shit person >TWofWS is about a young greedy piece of shit who figures out how to steal money in the high finance world, only his life is fucking awesome and nothing but glamorous fun until (ew) some normie takes him down but don't worry, he still has an awesome life lolThey are very different movies.
>>214224709These people absolutely exist. Think about how cruel the bullies were at school. Think about how much they enjoyed it. Do you think those people disappear from existence after school? Do you think those people might be drawn to an organisation where they can express those cruel tendencies with impunity?
>Proven against hurricane winds
>>214225116It is still pretty crazy that even by 1920s investigative standards they couldn't prosecute a single criminal attached to the killings.
>>214225614nah this kid was hit by an excavator or some shit and was scared shitless
>>214225738Al Capone was also buying off most of the legal system in Chicago tbf
>>214225230I've read both of belforts books (he's maybe made more since), and I highly recommend them. he's literally one of the biggest pieces of shit to ever live. reading his thoughts is very enlightening to how people like him function. he even admits in the books that it's 90% being a great liar that got him anywhere. anyway, the film cuts out some of the worst stuff. that was when marty lost me. reading the book makes it very clear the film was some weird diversion after occupy wall st wound down. "le heckin wall st outsider who doesn't play by the RULES" led to a whole generation of jaded zoomers trying to repeat the cycle. if they actually read his book (kek), they'd despise him
>>214225309one of my favorite mobster stories. guys entire life just escalates and never once calms down.
>>214224709The glorification of the mob is worse than nigger bullshit. Fuck The Sopranos, fuck Martin Scorsese and fuck Goodfeathers
>>214225759Capone was in Florida at the time of the massacre and never ended up getting questioned about it specifically either.
>>214225189Yeah, like how rural America was. Most of the country population lived in rural life and "city slickers" were really just the wealthy, the ultra poor, and crazy people. And places like the South and Midwest were still decades behind. It's crazy to think that at some point Chicago and a New York were really thought of as like these little bubbles of extreme civlization.
>>214225351That's what's sad man. They wacked all the wrong guys. They killed Hoffa. And look at ehat a shit while Chicago and New York ended up turning into. Now it's big tech fuckers moving in, and they all came from the west coast or worse they came from other other country to own a piece of the city now. They acted like kings when they were only supposed to be the servants of Cosa Nostra and really they were only supposed to protect Italian Americans from injustice.
>>214224957You just described Joey diaz
>>214224709considering the guy who joe pesci's character is based on was tortured and murdered by john gotti IRL I'd say yeah it's exaggerated sure but that's just for entertainment these guys really do kill each other sometimes especially back in the day when cops had more trouble tracking shit
>>214225561What a fail of a post then >>214225483
>>214225270Mexico used to do that all the time up till the 00s, unsure if they criminalized it or if they still like the spectacle.
>>214225452Ben Kingsley played lanky in buggy, network tv classic. I saw that movie a couple dozen times. The pronunciation phrase he does throughout was a great characterization that highlighted how he wanted to be perceived by the public.
>>214225844>Fuck The SopranosSopranos didn't glorify mob. Most mobsters there are losers, retards, hambeasts, psychos or all at once.
>>214225844EYYY IM CHECKIN THEM DUBS OVA HEA
>>214224993>Sam DeStefano
>>214224962>at least one of the guys was just a mechanic who worked there>possibly someone who didn’t even know they were mobsters or worse a victim of those mobsters he was killed alongside
>>214226145why you gotta be so bitter you didn't even know the name off the top of the head for yours, you looked it up after the fact lol
>>214226470same guy your story was just popular you ass
>>214226421They actually edited this section down. There's more:>In January 1950, DeStefano bought a new car, which police later spotted him driving around in with a sign on it that said "This is a lemon". To make sure everyone would notice it he also festooned the car with grapefruits. DeStefano's reason for this was because he thought he had bought a bad car and wanted the world to know it.>In 1962, DeStefano was arrested after he tried to represent Vito Zaccagonini in a forgery trial in Rockford, Illinois. He later returned demanding the names of all employees in the state's attorney's and sheriff's offices so they could be called as witnesses at his subsequent trial. During another court date in Rockford, when he was serving as his own lawyer as was his practice, he confused everyone in the courtroom when he approached the jury and asked, "Have you ever seen an elephant?" Moments later DeStefano suddenly changed his plea to guilty, telling the jury, "something had come to light that I had not known before." The jury found him guilty and fined him $100 for disorderly conduct.>He would say it was his dream in life to own a pig farm so he could feed his victims to the pigs. He even drove to pig farms just to watch them for hours.>According to hitman-turned-informant Charles Crimaldi, one time DeStefano made his wife Anita take his gun and put the end of the barrel in her mouth, then demanded that she pull the trigger. When she pulled the trigger and the gun didn't go off, DeStefano began to laugh and told her that he had removed the bullets. He would tell this story over and over again to his mob associates for amusement.Guy also murdered his own brother, and was subsequently murdered by his other brother and also this guy>>214225309, of whom he was a mentor.
The mafia was made up by the FBI to persecute Italian immigrants.
>>214224709They did, and much worse even.
>>214226567>Vito ZaccagoniniDo you really expect me to believe this shit?
>>214224927It's more like the real life guys were just psychotic serial killers that the mob found useful until they had them killed by a different serial killer.
>>214226421Isnt that just classic bpd narcissist?
>>214226572I'm pretty sure they first start as groups to self police when the police wouldn't
>>214224709>poverty>abusive families>psychopathic genetic traits to begin with>outlaw gambling, whores, and drugs, creating an artificial lowered supply>no dna evidence, security cameras, cell phone tracking etc.the mafia NOT existing would have been more surprising. the most ruthless, psychotic, and luckiest rose to the top. the vast majority of "mafia" guys were just small business owners who sold illegal services and goods and paid taxes to the small percent of violent people
>>214226470I wasn't the one coming out hot with a killer anecdote I just had to share
>>214225254>The more I read about Roy the less bad he seems to me.He sold child pornography.
>>214225254He did feel bad about the vacuum salesman, because he was a young, upstanding guy. He admitted to Sammy Gravano though that he and his crew did kill a lot of innocent people for reasons like they wanted to steal their car. The excuse he gave Sammy was "well most of them were black" and "I gotta keep the crew sharp."As >>214227056 already pointed out, he also sold child pronography out of the trunk of his car, and was reprimanded by his capo for doing so, but continued doing it anyway.He was also known for saying grace with his family before dinner and being a decent father and husband. Strange guy.
>>214226044Jesus, I have been going down a rabbithole on the history of org crime and the people who made it possible. You can blame women, moralfags and the people who stood to gain from black market alcohol trade.No Volstead Act would mean no criminal gangs bootlegging which would mean that there would be no need for National Firearms Act of 1934 (NFA). Kennedy and the jew family (((bronfmans))) made lots and lots of money on the backs of working class slobs trying to escape this hell we call life.
>>214226153By censoring gore, they are removing the reality and severity of crimes and the actions of savages.
>>214227269If they cracked down hard enough they could have crushed the mafiasI mean, does North Korea have a big black market mafia problem?You have to either go hard, or allow a thing. This halfway stuff causes problems.
>>214227336>I mean, does North Korea have a big black market mafia problem?They smuggle kinos.https://www.pbs.org/newshour/world/media-smuggling-north-korea
>>214227133Gravano is also a known bullshitter and a snitch.
>>214227336I was mistaken then, perhaps it is my indoctrination and watching mob movies, but I thought they tried. Are you saying that they half assed enforcement on purpose?
>>214227528True, but there are multiple sources backing up that Roy was simply that kind of guy.
>>214224709still less psychotic than you terminally online incels. except you're harmless.
>>214227540samefag here, I always wonder what would have happened if that meeting in Appalachia was never found out about. Maybe that nosey cop took a sick day and nobody noticed, or they picked a better spot to meet. Or, if Valachi testimonials never happened.
>>214227662why you gotta be a faggot?
>>214227540I don't know that much about it. But certainly they knew who the guys were and had to jump through all sorts of hoops to stop them. In places like North Korea or El Salvador, they just arrest them and that's it. And suddenly no more crime. Like magic.
>Evil and psychotic how?
>>214228149>women at an initiation
Nobody in this thread ask why crime exists at all.We have a military but there's crime.We have police but there's crime.lmao.Oh yeah, they're really trying for you, little guy! One day we'll finally be able to deal with crime, just not today!You should go vote, lol.
>>214224915>shooting a civilian for literally no reasonThat's just being American
>>214228315>durrr he was a good boy he dindu nuffin! you didn't need to shoot him he was just borrowing your car!
>>214228230>Nobody in this thread ask why crime exists at all.Did this sound intelligent in your head, moron?
>>214228230>Nobody in this thread ask why crime exists at all.It's a psychological compulsion. You might as well ask why gambling addicts or alcoholics exist.
>>214224962Oof, madone!
>>214224709It's based on a real life gangbanger, Thomas DeSimone, who was even worse than the character portrayed by Joe Pesci.
>>214224709bugsy siegel was killed cause he was too crazy, even for the jewish mafia
>>214226623Richard Kuklinski
>>214224709there's psychopaths and there's the mafia i'm sure there's a significant crossover. not saying everything they do is bad but good lord seems like a tiring life
>>214225230jordan belfort sucked. he wasn't cool he was just a greedy jew who had vices that are cool. i can identify with henry hill a little because his life growing up was a little fucked and you get addicted to a certain type of lifestyle (i say this after doing a huge line of blow in nyc lol) but as much as i liked the wolf of wall street i never had much sympathy for jordan. i had more for the cousin fucker because it seemed like he rode is weirdness authentically, i wonder if the real guy(s) were like that at all
>>214225844oooh! gabagool
>>214226872good post
>>214228230>Nobody in this thread ask why crime exists at all.it's a stupid question that doesn't need to be asked>who created societyi dunno probably retards who want money and control, why should i listen to them? the major crimes likes murder and rape i find revolting enough to not commit but why can't i get high or fuck a hooker? stupid moralizing. plus hte government can't make money off it
>>214224709The book is a good read. The real Tommy was far more deranged than in the movie. Goodfellas substantially polishes the characters, who were generally drug addicts and degenerates of the highest order. One of the most popular true crime Mafia books is Murder Machine. It's never been made into a movie, because it would essentially be 3 hours of low IQ psychopaths torturing and murdering people for little to no reason. This isn't just a Mafia thing either.After the success of Chopper (which demystified organised crime to a degree) we got the Australian film Animal Kingdom, based on a real Melbourne crime family. The movie had a good cast, some Oscar noms, and was very good in general.But even in that case the director deleted a lot of scenes and altered the story because he said people wanted to see a crime movie, not Wolf Creek. The real life family were like the freaks from a Texas Chainsaw Massacre movie who happened to fall into assloads of money because of heroin trafficking.
Nah, only super honorable down to earth mellow guys joined criminal organizations that gave him complete impunity to do whatever they wanted to anyone else, and were largely involved in extortion and protection rackets.
>>214224915Don't forget>tried to rape Henry's wife when Henry was in prison>Kidnapped a random guy off the street and forced him to fuck his own (tommy's) wife at gunpoint to "teach her a lesson"
>>214224709They've toned it down from the real guy. He shot a random passerby walking his dog to test a new gun. He also was actually close friends with Stacks but for whatever reason still pumped him full of bullets when he killed him. Just a few hours later he was the one that told Stacks mother he was dead and assured her they would find the guy who did it.
>>214225483Sounds like the John Gotti thing>Gottis kid ran into traffic>Hit and killed by neighbour>Gotti had him kidnapped and murdered
>>214230457They also softened some of the aspects. In the movie Tommy kills Batts because of an argument and loose temper. In reality he and Jimmy killed him simply because Jimmy didn't want to give him money. Really soulless, retarded nig nog behaviour. Even then, they only killed Tommy. Why? Because Jimmy gave Paulie money.
>>214230502>In reality he and Jimmy killed him simply because Jimmy didn't want to give him money.Bit more to it. Real Jimmy had taken over Billy's loanshark business while he was in prison and didn't want to give it back. He used Tommy who had been seething over the shoe shine comment for weeks.>Even then, they only killed Tommy. Why?Real Paulie gave him up. He was sick of him. He was a psychopath willing to kill made men unsanctioned, he had jeopardised the Lufthansa heist and the biggest motivator was real Paulie was having an affair with Henry's wife and Tommy had tried to rape her. He was happy to give him up to assuage Gotti and co.
>>214230384Curious your thoughts on The Godfather and if contributed to the mystification of organized crime. When did that sentiment start and end, do you think?
>>214224709Considering that there is enough plausible interaction to suggest the involvement of the Chicago mob with the John David Norman child sex trafficking ring (most famous for being directly linked to John Wayne Gacy), I'd say that yeah.That was just the tip of the iceberg.
>>214224833IT'S A WOOZY IT'S A WAZZI
>>214226567didnt he also kidnap his mailman and force him to fuck his wife at gunpoint?
>>214224957>>214224934I believe it cause the real Tommy's brother or uncle or someshit turned informer so he felt like he had to double down opn being a faggot.anyway, WASP Americans predicted the brutality of these swarthoids in their 1907 Immigration Commission and pushed tono longer let them in. Aformal familism is a hell of a thing, it'd be too hardto assimilate them. to this day they wont shut the fuck up about being Italian.

It's unreal that Joe Pesci basically ad libbed the "I'm funny how, like I'm a clown I amuse you?" scene. He's got to be one of the greatest actors of all time to pull that off.
>>214224709There are people like that and far worse. Read some books. Hell, read about Ancient Rome if you want sick and twisted violence.
>>214225677Some of those people do change and eventually apologize to those they tormented. I've read a few stories of that happening.
>>214227285That, and also selling more papers to families who like to read The Family Circus.
>>214230727no anon but the godfather part I and II glorified it to a huge extent. it was more like painting a picture of a royal dynasty than a bunch of dumb gangsters doing dumb shit with a few exceptions. great movie but goodfellas is way more realistic
>>214228230The military can commit crime, there's just no one to overpower them unless it's another military or their own rules.
>>214228230
>>214231293>He's got to be one of the greatest actors of all timePesci actually is criminally (heh) underrated, wish he hadn't done so much mob shit, but typecasting is kind of unavoidable, very few actors are actually "chameleons", most fall into a "type" that they're most believable as, and there's nothing wrong with that.On the thread topic, Anthony "Gaspipe" Casso was another real piece of shit. >>214230266>you get addicted to a certain type of lifestyle"The life style"? It's the PUSSY! Being a criminal piece of shit might mean death, incarceration, etc. But you are guaranteed as much pussy as you can stand. Only mob memoir I've read that mentions this crucial fact is by some Irish guy from Boston, "red" or something?
>>214231495Franzese did change he is a normal person now.He hit it off big with the podcast thing and made a lot of money, good for him, seems like a smart guy.
>>214230384Cool. I found the audiobook version.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a_sxZu5mnCo
>>214231753> Only mob memoir I've read that mentions this crucial fact is by some Irish guy from Boston, "red" or something?sounds like some whitey bulger shit. i believe it, women like bad boys. funny how the departed is a better whitey bulger movie than the johnny depp one. same thing happened with flight vs sully. when you have a little free room to fictionalize it's better
>>214227980Apparently J Edgar Hoover had refused to acknowledge the existence of organized crime and instead went after his enemies and personal interests. He was a known homo and cross dresser that utilized blackmail to keep people in line to include his lovers.
>>214224709You'll find worse today in the russian military.
>>214232220oddly i had heard that cross dressing is mostly a hetero thing? not my cup regardless but j edgar got hit with two things he had to hide, must have sucked to been him
>>214231017
>>214225476I remember that one guy switching Goodfellas for Casino while his girlfriend was at the bathroom, going "Jimmy had to flee the city so he's now gone semi-legit in Vegas and brought Pesci along as muscle" and she bought it.
>>214224709Yeah but they're the exception not the rule, and usually they're connected/protected in some way to be able to get away with that kind of behavior. The Mafia doesn't want loose cannons, it brings too much heat on them
>>214229683Almost everything about his crimes was made up, either by him or yellow journalism, much like with Henry Lee Lucas and HH Holmes.
>>214226065isn't there a rule a made guy can't have facial hair? what's up with that?
>>214224709The real dude was actually much worse.
>>214225677Yes. They're called Policemen.
>>214228230What I find interesting is that we're taught violence and murder is not an appropriate way to solve problems, yet governments do it on a global scale by starting wars where thousands people of kill each other when they can't come to an understanding.
>>214234862I heard along time ago it's because if they have to go into hiding they can grow a beard/stache for a disguise.
>>214224915>He also was only in his late twenties when he diedPsalm 55:23 KJVBut thou, O God, shalt bring them down into the pit of destruction: bloody and deceitful men shall not live out half their days; but I will trust in thee.
>>214235025it's funny you mention that because the police is by far the fairest criminal gang of them all >you're transgender>you're a lesbian arab>you're a juggalo >you're a model train enthousiastthe police don't give a single flying fuck about who you are as long as you pass their tests
>>214234862so you can grow some if you need to go on the lam (lambchop it) i presume. also to distinguish themselves from the hassids

>>214235225And this draws us to the conclusion who really is behind it all.
How come nobody makes films about the Jewish mob in LA? It's always Italians in NY.Warren Zevon's father and Danny Sugerman's (manager of The Doors and Iggy Pop) father were both LA Jewish mob guys. A lot of interesting media industry connections but it gets overlooked and everyone pretends there's no mob in LA.

>>214229546>After his release in 1970, according to the mafia memoir Wiseguy, Henry Hill describes the "welcome home" party for Bentvena at Robert's Lounge, a nightclub owned by James Burke. Bentvena jokingly asked Tommy DeSimone "if he still shined shoes", which DeSimone perceived as an insult, leaning over to Hill and Burke to say, "I'm gonna kill that fuck."[3] Two weeks later, on June 11, 1970, Bentvena was at The Suite, Hill's nightclub in Jamaica, Queens. With the club nearly empty, DeSimone pistol-whipped Bentvena, yelling, "Shine these fucking shoes!" before beating him bloody.[3] After Bentvena was severely beaten and presumed dead, DeSimone, Burke, and Hill placed him in the trunk of Hill's car, stopping at DeSimone's mother's house for a knife, lime, and a shovel. Hearing sounds from the trunk, they realized that Bentvena was still alive, so DeSimone and Burke beat him to death with the shovel and a tire iron. Burke had a friend who owned a dog kennel in Upstate New York, and Bentvena was buried there.[3] At the time of his murder in 1970, Bentvena was 37 years old and was a respected and feared soldier in the Gambino crime family.[3] lol, the IRL guy spent two weeks seething over the shoe-shining comment. Which apparently didn't even go to the extent it did in the movie with the "now go get your shine box!" comment added on.

According to court papers, Pandrella murdered Zito out of fear that he would kill him first over an unpaid $750,000 debt he owed him.>17 members and associates of the Gambino family were charged in an 84-count indictment on June 5, 2024 in relation to the operation of Staten Island-based illegal sports gambling operation, which handled more than $22.7 million in illegal bets, and a loansharking operation that generated approximately $500,000 per week from loan payments. Among those arrested were Gambino soldiers John J. LaForte, Anthony J. Cinque, Jr. and John Matera, Gambino associates Edward A. LaForte, Frederick P. Falcone, Sr., Giulio Pomponio and Daniel F.

>>214224876It's just Italians in general.
>Was the Mafia ever that powerful?They were worse. John Gotti was behind the Kennedy assassination and ran the United States as Shadow President until he was killed by the Irish in '92. There was a guy called Benito 'Pedo' Orsini and he was what the Italians call Black Pope until he was killed by an Angel called John Fox in the early 90s as well. Frank Addario (the last Caesar of Babylon) was the final death that basically killed the Mafia. When he died the remaining members of the Illinois Commission killed themselves to avoid being tortured. This being 2018. As of now all the made men are dead but the people who worked for them are still alive and holding positions of power in the the US Justice Department and State Department and are now attempting to consolidate power around a pedophile real estate mogul from 'Old New York'.

They helped kill off his brother to get RFK out of power, then when RFK tried to run himself, they arranged his murder.

Back when I watched The Sopranos as a teenager I always thought it was way too ridiculous. Years later, when I've read tons of books about the mob, I realized that they're actually downplaying the violence quite a bit. There's been gangsters around even during the late 90s that had suspected body counts of more than 50 people, including women and children.
>>214250714>corperate
>>214224993They were all also fucking really young girls; im talking like 13-16 year olds. They don’t mention it in the movie but the real reason Paulie did that stretch in prison is because he was found guilty of raping a 15 year old.

News sites DO often have the gore photos, but it gets archived weeks after the crime so the initial reports never include them. In most cases you don't even have a name yet for the first 24hrs.

>>214227336>>214227540Mafias are a natural occurrence of any place that allows an underworld. They're just slightly more sophisticated than gangs, but the structures are basically the same all over the world. So yeah, NK does have a thriving black market that is handled sanctioned and tolerated by the government, just as it happens in Venezuela. The government is the biggest mob there.Now, the "Mafia" in Italy and the US have the particularity of being very much a nationality and family thing. But in some other places they're simply assemblages of loosely related crooks. And many countries have several mafias, some cities have more than a single mafia like structure per city but the codes are similar.Americans love talking about "The Cartel" like it is this very specific thing. They're just mafias and in some cases their biggest source of income are drugs, but they also run protection rackets, handle prostitution, contraband, gambling and predatory loans and eventually they also have legal investments. They buy out the police and politicians and threaten whoever they can't buy. In some cases the city mafia is connected to a larger national structure or are just what is left after a larger group is dismantled or falls apart.
