Thing about earners; If you are an earner, but not feared, ( think someone like Dibernardo, or even Costello vs Genovese or Castellano vs Dellacroce, or how Casso ran roughshod over all those long time earners, corleonesi vs the Palermo drug dealers, countless examples) you are VERY vulnerable. I would say you don't have to kill someone to get made, but if you are a gangster and want power in the streets, you gotta be able to back up a ferocious rep.... If you want to hold onto what you got..The money without the power is like, It's one of the things I liked in Bonnanos book, where he described money as a by product of power. What enables them to exist is the fact that the guns will come out, which enables them to make money, the other way around doesn't work long term....

The whole point of being made is youre untouchable.

Being made means the rep of the family is behind you. Not just your own.


MORGAN: Why didn't you fight him at the park if you wanted to? I'm not goin' now, I'm eatin' my snack.
CHUCKIE: Morgan, Let's go.
MORGAN: I'm serious Chuckie, I ain't goin'.
WILL: So don't go.

Was thinking more of a made guys relationship with other mobsters, and gangsters in general...
