I think some of the mafia members probably laughed and others where like "What does he know about my life?".

This reminded me of an real life event. As I myself had been to prison, I got friends also who do small time crimes and have felonies and such shit on them. So this group of guys from a sect comes up to my friend, who's like now 19, but since birth he's been in the orphanage. They start to try to brainwash him with their stories. If I remember right my friends words were like "If there was a fucking god, I'd wouldn't grow up in the orphanage and become like this! But have a family like every normal person." After that cops came up to us pretty angry about some shit that someone said on us, so they wanted us to leave. Again the sect guys go on them, so the cops were like "Go fuck your god!" Funny story.

Anyway, I'm not a religious guy. But seriously, how can you ask some person to stop doing something, if you don't know their life. We can all call criminals scum and pests, but there is a reason why people got caught up in that life. And it isn't like you see in the Goodfellas movie that you start up to work in the local cafe/bar or whatever that shit was there with the mob. Some people just didn't have no other choice...
