No doubt that in the pens where there’s a significant number of LCN guys they do carry weight.

Low brow thugs like the one in the video have their own idea of what honor and power are. Most mobsters are smart enough not to get in trouble while incarcerated, starting riots or shanking people over stupid beefs that will get them an extra time. Chimp-brains like him would happily get sent in the hole for fighting some other inmate during chow because “he looked at me like he knew me!” and consider it a sign of power and bravery.

There’s a reason why guys like him rarely reach the age of 50.
