What next generation? It is just a bunch of burglars and drug dealers getting made nowadays.

All the smart Italians are becoming lawyers, doctors, wall street brokers etc.

The LCN is just left scraping the bottom of the gene pool.


I think you're doing a disservice to quite a few members with that comment. Some are thugs, some are crazy, some are muscle, some are run of the mill criminals and some are damn fucking smart. It's always been that way. It's not that way for the majority of guys but it's not as if the Mafia only inducts members with a low IQ.

And for the record, Italian-Americans aren't only just becoming successful now. Rudy Giuliani, a guy responsible for a lot of guys going away and changing the game with RICO, is Italian American. We're talking what, 25, 30 years ago.
