I agree with this. It's good to see that most of the people on this forum seem to acknowledge the fact that the mafiosi aren't good guys and their concept of “honor” is false.
I still remember the senseless discussion I once had with some people (including 2 retired policemen) who genuinely admired Vic Amuso on a blog which is now gone. When I told them the life of crime is a shameful thing and Amuso can’t possibly be a honorable person since he is already a boss of a crime family (these 2 things contradict one another in my opinion), one of them said Amuso has more honor in his left butt cheek than I have in my whole body and, since I don’t know him personally and have never been to the USA, I have no right to judge him. A strange logic in my opinion, since one doesn’t have to know criminals personally to understand that committing crimes is wrong. Also, crime has no nationality, so I don’t see how I can’t dislike criminals from another country just because they are from another country. In my opinion, the fact alone that Amuso put a madman like Casso as his underboss prevents him from being considered a honorable person.


I remember reading that. The two cops actually worked with and knew Amuso so I would value there opinion on the subject over someone who just reads articles on the internet ( you). They came across as sincere an genuine and really enjoyed hearing what they had to say based on actually being around Amuso as opposed to hearing you regurgitate what Capeci wrote.
