Remember guys (and I really feel that this should be addressed more often), this is the Mafia we are talking about. Organized crime with rules, protocol, structure and tradition. Not some trigger happy street gang!


Hairy i value your opinions and am always impressed by your information However the traditions/rules havent existed for a long time. I mean i've seen so many former mobsters who have said taht the traditions/rules are mostly fantasy at least in the past 30 years


That's right,especialy in the late 80's early 90's,where the Gambinos,Luccheses and Colombos looked like trigger happy street gangs

Very True. I recommend the doc "Ten commandments of the mafia" It does show traditions/rules from sicily however it also shows how the amaerica mob disobeys most of them
