Is raping women part of the life?
Furnari and Franzese both did that and were higher echelon mobsters so that suggests a tolerance of sexual crimes within the mob.
And nobody is forced into doing anything. You forge your own path in life. Nobody forces you to rape, extort and pillage for a living.
There are plenty of people who overcome worse than what Franzese did to become doctors and shit.

Whatever you say it was a different time and era. This guy grew up in the Great Depression, things were a bit different back then. Hell things were a lot different when I was growing up in the late 70's. Quite easy to get sucked in and charmed by the life these guys led. Glad I chose a different path but understand it.
As simple as being a kid looking to make a few bucks taking bets on the numbers game, next thing you know your a bookie or working for one, and connected.
Either way this guy is a relic from a time that has passed. And his last parole violation was a joke. Who the fuck is worried about being extorted by a 90+ year old man. Lol
