And what makes Nicky senior tough?
His hands? no.
His commitment to the life, to commit murder and not to roll if convicted.
Please explain the difference with his son?
Yes I think the case with Nick Jr is that he was eventually a real street guy and he did the crimes/ doing his time as we speak etc
So I'll give him that credit
But I think Furio or many others base their opinion on the fact he lived off his father's rep early on and even later on- built on his dad's connections to the North Jersey crew plus Luchese (none of it was from his own street cred/ connections)
However I guess he did mold into a "real
Gangster" in that sense
But I wouldn't base it totally on whether one can do time or not. Take crazy Phil his cousin/ was he a real gangster? Since he couldn't do the time does that mean he wasn't a gangster? He was up until the conviction- a stone killer
Joey Massino was NOT a gangster in your books (but we all know he was a hardcore gangster) up until they showed him the electric chair & he felt his 300lbs belly wobble
