However,, ive always wondered how guys like Roy demeo and other psychos in the Italian mafia, how could they set with someone being a boss over them, pay percentage, obey rules and if they say you do that you do exactly that... I mean these guys seems like strong psycopathic men..


The "Mustache Pete" faction of the Italian-American mob had the same philosophy.

Joe Bonanno actually believed that even Neapolitans and Calabrians shouldn't be allowed into the mafia.

"...the successful annihilation of organized crime's subculture in America would rock the 'legitimate' world's foundation, which would ultimately force fundamental social changes and redistributions of wealth and power in this country. Meyer Lansky's dream was to bond the two worlds together so that one could not survive without the other." - Dan E. Moldea
