In addition to the latest topics like smartest mobster, dumbest, etc. I would like to add a new one: Mafia psychopaths.
With psychopath I don't mean "he killed someone so yeah he's a psychopath"...
What I mean is this:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PsychopathyPeople kill eachother all the time, but only a small percentage would really classify as a true psychopath.
The most visible symptons are the inability to feel shame or guilt, poor social skills, but especially for psychopaths in the mafia the most common one is they usually have the habit of fucking things up very badly...
Here's a list of mobsters I'm pretty sure they could indeed be classified as psychopaths:
Albert Anastasia
Carmine Galante (was apparantly diagnosed as a psychopath)
"Mad" Sam DeStefano
Anthony Spilotro
Tommy DeSimone
Possible psychopaths:
Roy DeMeo
Jimmy Burke
Nicky Scarfo
Sammy Gravano
Anthony Casso
Vito Genovese
Toto Riina
