Yes being made puts a target on your back, so that's why you keep it as secret as possible. And the Mafia needs killers too, that's just the reality, but they need guys like Anthony Nicodemo (bless his soul) and Tommy Pitera, guys who will do the time if push comes to shove, without ratting. That's just the reality. I notice many people have this unicorns and rainbows fantasy where a criminal organization can operate with absolutely zero violence, sorry it's not all peaches and sunshine in that life every now and then they're going to have to get down and dirty, but not like Casso and Scarfo that's just ridiculous how they did it. That is NOT what I'm talking about here. Bless his soul? Why? Nicodemo is dead? Anyway the mobsters still use violence and sometimes whack a guy but they are focused on the mobey,this is the reason why prefer the white collar mobsters instead the trigger happy street thug,and for the know murders for sure there are many others that are unknown because they get rid of the bodies.

Not sure if you are being serious, but yes guys are still getting made. Of course. If you go to Staten Island, you'll find so many wannabes you'll throw up. They'll never run out of morons It must be my small town mentality, but made into what and if there is any "wannabes" are left, why? I'm serious, I just don't see it with RICO and all.

You give RICO far too much credit as I've said many times, everyone says that it was RICO that killed the mob, when FAR too many other factors were at play. Like I've said before, and I'll keep saying it, many mob families across the country were on their way to extinction long before RICO. Guys are still getting made in the 21st century, in the few Mafia-infested cities that are left, I mean the books are open and places like NYC and Chicago never had to ask permission, and these cities still have recruiting grounds for LCN. Then consider the Cosa Nostra and Ndrangheta members from Sicily and Calabria that are popping up in NYC and Florida, you think they're worried about RICO? The show must continue to go on, RICO or no RICO. America also has many other crime groups besides LCN, yet they're thriving in the face of RICO, because like I said other factors are more to blame than RICO for the decline of LCN.

OK, it must be my small town mentality, but I did state: "Rico and all". It would be foolish not to consider that Rico has played a large part in the demise of the Mob.

I don't think RICO was as big in hurting the mob as a change in times. If we are talking the American Mafia, Italians born here have been accepted into society and have changed. If John Gotti was a 30 year old today he would be married to a Hispanic woman, maybe have a few tattoos, and working a blue collar job. If any old time Mafia member was born after 1970 they would not be in crime, with a few exceptions. If they were criminals, they would be partnered with or working with Black, Hispanic, and Asian friends who were 2nd and 3rd generation American, and would have grown up seeing ratting as acceptable.
If the Mafia totally disappears RICO will be kept in place, it is a prosecutor tool that puts defendants in an almost impossible position of a fair defense.

Keep in mind that when Rico was first put in play ad reported in the papers, one of which I fetched the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette every Sunday morning during Deer season at Charlies Roost. First to read it was Charlie Murgie, Consigliere. He read the head line to Michael Genovese and Jo Jo Pecora and told the that we better get jobs, the party's over. Yes, Rico lives on but it was created to better enable tp prosecute the Mob.

In Prov/Boston, I don't believe anyone's being made. Last one was prob when Big Cheese's nephew got in. Other than that no way

That means that the Patriarca Family is heading towards extinction. Prov is all but extinct. I mean when Bobby Walason is getting pub, you know its bad here.
