But like I also say, If you feed it, it grows. You'll notice that this is my first serious post in this thread. And it's only because a friend mentioned my name .

And I'm gonna break my own rule and feed it anyway. But how the fuck is this thread still going?

Haha I knew you would cave in

It's the car wreck paradox, Dix. You just can't look away .

Maybe it has something to do with the stupid and effortless way you phrased your question when making the thread? If you had actually elaborated and specified your question as in "Was Carlo considered a coward out in the streets before he became boss?" or something like that, maybe you would have gotten more serious replies.

As for Joey Pyle, I don't know about him.. he thinks they're weak? Weak how? As in brutality? They're about making money first, not scaring the shit out of people and getting unnecessary notoriety/heat from the feds. If you want more brutality then read more on the cartels, the Russians etc. I'm sure your Joey Pyle is a sissy compared to them.

coward is a bad term, not to be used with CN guys, if a guy gets reprimanded by his captain or a captain by his boss and does not kill him and other people involved are they a coward ?or if a relative or best friend of yours is killed with an o.k. from the bosses and you do nothing are you a coward..?

No.

It's a ridiculous thread, but just as a reminder of how "lightly" the Genovese guys took Carlo, the good old: http://www.maryferrell.org/showDoc.html?docId=94973&relPageId=1

Big Paul Castellano ring a bell.

I guess I liked the view of the car wreck ...sooo here it goes...the idea that mob guys, in general, are weak or cowardly is just absolutely ridiculous...they are many things....pathological liars, manipulative narcissists, sociopaths, etc...but as a rule, I wouldn't call one of them a coward without a lot of distance between them and myself. I have been around some that can absolutely make your blood run cold in a matter of seconds...they would as soon kill you as say hello to you while others are better at hiding that behavior. I have seen "rule breakers" beaten to a pulp by their "friends" then scooped up and taken to the hospital, and then visited by the same guys that just beat the hell out of them the next day. These aren't boy scouts and aren't the romanticized version you see on TV.

I know some people in the United States love to hear how big their criminals are on the net etc etc but people from other places in the world do not rate mob people in the same way.

Joey Pyle a London Face said in his book he was dealing with Genovese and Gambino crime families in New York over the years, he said he once went to an other part of the United States and that people was talking about been pick up by the feds and how you had to give the feds something to keep them happy, he said mob people in the United States was weak.

Frank Tieri was the Boss and Pyle had meeting with him on deals with music industry, it had been said by others but not Pyle in his book they was dealing in the cannabis trade.

Carlo has been called a coward in books in the passed so get over it opinion post that's it.

I think the mob in the United States are not what you guys make them out to be on here everyday of the week mob guys are as Joey Pyle says weak.

You're that Macedonian homer from the RD forum aren't you?

Don Carlo was a Mastermind.
He never served a jail sentence (though perhaps in todays world/legal system he might)
He was THE boss.
He didn't need to be a brave "warrior" - he had an army of minions to do his bidding.
