This is an older post but it's still awesome, thanks for posting that.

Joe Petrosino is hard to not admire. That is the police officer that reportedly broke both of Ignazio Saietta's hands, and then dumped him in a garbage can. You have never seen any movie action hero kick ass like that. Lupo was someone who deeply frightened the early Italian immigrants, but not Joe Petrosino.
