i dont understand why not the commision blow him up they new they would die in jail why not take him out?????

It's more than money. They would crack down hard til they had every last number runner brought up on charges. All the little things that slide by would suddenly turn into court cases and prison terms. It would cripple them to an extent they probably couldn't recover from

this guy is really a racist taking on is own kind like the mafia extorting there own people. He made carreer by prosecuting his own people to lik ass and get higher up in the food chain. i dont now for sure but i believe he got alot of info from his father or grandfather he new like all the italians that cosa nostra was a italian biznis and he thought if i will put them in jail i would get a carreer boost i dont understand why not the commision blow him up they new they would die in jail why not take him out?????

Rico is used all over the place against corporations and not organized crime

They should use Rico against the super market chains price fixing.

They can use Rico against Amazon if they want to.

Is this the end of Rico?

Exactly. You think that LE doesn't know where every single wire room is located, where every shylock book is, where every construction site is where the building permits aren't up to snuff, etc.?

They just can't be bothered with such nonsense. But hit one of their own, and it's all over. Everything from numbers spots to construction sites employing no-shows on the payroll would get hit with the same zeal that they usually reserve for terrorists and other murderers.

It would be suicide.

Tony Soprano: I gotta be honest with you. I'm not getting any satisfaction from my work either.
Dr. Jennifer Melfi: Why?
Tony Soprano: Well, because of RICO.
Dr. Jennifer Melfi: Is he your brother?

What I don't understand is how can you say you hate a guy who almost single handedly made the Mafia his bitch.

Giulliani has a shit personality, comes across as ice cold, pompous, arrogant, but i give him all the credit in the world for cleaning up NYC; he knew how to get things done and didnt care if he upset anyone. Everything he did was for the common good, he put political correctness to the side.
Let me ask you this. If any of your daughters were living in NYC, who would you want the mayor to be? Giulliani or DiBlasio ?
If you have to think about it, you are somewhat clueless when it comes to combatting violent crime.

Exactly. He's not a likeable man at all. But if you're raising kids in this city, and you lived through the Dinkins era, and you still claim that you'd rather have Dinkins or de Blasio for mayor, you're either lying about being from New York, you don't care about your kids, or you're sick in the fucking head. You don't have to like the guy to see that he layed the groundwork for turning Manhattan from a cesspool into the safest big city in the world.

And as far as that Mafia nonsense where Giuliani is a traitor because he "went after his own kind," that's the most asinine thing I've ever fucking heard. Because when Barack Obama and Eric Holder (who I fucking loathe) fail to "go after their own kind," the same nitwits who call Giuliani a traitor are calling Obama and Holder racists---and again, I loathe Obama and Holder, and I don't particularly like Giuliani as a person. But what's right is right.

what i meant to say was did he now the cosa nostra and thought i can make a career by convicting this guys and get a name as crime fighter ?

so before rudy the politicians and mayors kept a blind eye or where in bed with them ?
