Bookmarked for later.
American Crime Family - the BIG GUY gets 10%.
Sammy the Bull is absolutely right when he says the Mafia was better than the current US government!
I recently visited an old Mafia neighborhood near where I grew up. There is still a mob presence there.
No crime.
No bars on the windows, no broken glass anywhere, not so much as a candy wrapper in the streets. The best surveillance camera is an Italian grandma with binoculars and a phone on the 3rd floor of a triple-decker.
Yeah, the local businesses have to pay protection, but they’re thriving and there is no looting. At least they’re getting their money’s worth. I can’t say the same for the taxes we pay to the deep state.
I’m guessing there are many mob experts out there. Retired detectives, investigative journalists, etc. Honorable people.
On the other hand, Sammy Gravano has blood on his hands. He murdered at least 19 people. So by all means, don’t interview a honorable person. Instead, fuss over Gravano and ask his opinion on matters large and small.

Sammy the Bulls**t is a liar, convicted felon, murderer and a weasel snitch.
He got kicked out of the Federal Witness Relocation Program for selling dope. This guy is about as stupid as they come. (just like most mafia guys, unlike how they are portrayed in the movies.)
I would believe something out of Roger Stone or Pelosi’s mouth before I would believe something co ming from him.
Lucky Luciano would be proud how the democrats keep the Mafia alive and well.
The best part was the closing: Jesse if I can ever do anything for you let me know.
I lived amongst the mob for a couple of decades. Many of them have a strong human dimension because of their love of family and their received Catholic culture. A lot of the wiseguys were born into families and groomed from childhood to take over the “family business.” They are used by their fathers to run errands and do things that then make them captive to the mob. Anyone who is already in risks their life, and that of their families, trying to get out.
But for a handful, especially when they have children of their own, a conscience develops. They go to church, often making a show of it and donating generously to make “friends” with the priests. Occasionally, for a few, the Word of God cuts through all the BS and they yearn to live a clean life.
At this point, we have to consider that Jesus has paid for all our sins; and that if a person with a terrible past can renounce it and live by the Holy Spirit going forward, he may not be exempt from civil law, but he is forgiven by Christ. So what Gravano is saying, both as an ostensibly reformed mobster and a U.S. military veteran, has some utilitarian merit, when he compares the criminal acts he has witnessed, compared to the treasonous acts of elected officials.
The mob is a paramilitary organization. Treason is punishable by death. I well imagine he is terribly frustrated to see open, flagrant abuse of the law, yet the lawbreakers are not held to account.
