Many of these guys definitely appear to be selfish bastards who don't seem to care about much. Very few really go out of their way to be nice to their fellow man, but they do exist. Keep in mind, some of these guys see themselves as Robin Hoods and even have this great urge to help those in need. As arrogant and ruthless as he was, John Gotti was truly a guy who helped a lot of poor families and people in need. Vincent Basciano is another good example of a guy who wanted to better his community. I know he was especially compassionate when it came to sick children. As much as they may have taken from the community, they also gave back a lot. Maybe they did it to justify their way of life. To sleep better. I don't know. I just don't buy into that pure evil nonsense. To me, you can be a hero and a cocksucker at the same time. Life isn't black and white. There's a lot of gray areas.
