I SERIOUSLY believe that a lot of the old school gangsters look at their lives in hindsight and wonder, what was it all for?
Look at Big Joey! One of the last big names had a choice, lose all honor in the world you believed in for so long and accept that it you possibly wasted a lot of your time on earth OR, acknowledge the wrongness of your ways and live your final days in peace?
I am pretty sure that accepting so much wasted time is the absolute HARDEST hurdle for the old schoolers. .
i doubt this. guys do it for the money and to provide for their families. joe massino got to keep a ton of money and property to pass down to his kids and their kids, i don't think he regrets much.
i'm sure guys spending their last days in prison with nothing think exactly in the way you described though. but if a guy spent his life getting over, and got away with it, i don't think he's gonna have any regrets. these guys aren't that sentimental.
