I have occasion to pass near to the resting places of some of the NY gangsters. The, in most cases, mausoleums sit there on the lawns, in the sun, quiet, dark. The breeze rustles the leaves. Birds flit and twitter. Its all so peaceful. Then I think about where those mobsters are now and wonder if they’re getting any respect...

The Deep State the new organizer of crime. I would go further than that. I suggest that ALL government - federal, state, local - has replaced the Mafia as organized crime. Government has perfected "shakedowns" and "insurance" in a way no private organization could ever do.

Just curious, though. We got rid of those “nasty Italians” but somehow that had no impact on the drugs, the girls, the numbers, nothing. It’s almost like getting rid of those Italians didn’t accomplish a goddam thing.

The article doesn’t mention Little Vinnie “Big Vinnie” Bannano or Vito “The Logical Positivist” Colombo.

Bingo. Cameras & DNA have made crime obsolete, aside from the Deep State Mafia with privilege to look the other way.
Look at a simple house or building, where a security alarm system is cheap and effective from Home Depot. Few people ever bump into a Mafia anymore that cheap cameras prevent.
KKK defeated.
Mafia defeated.

To a large extent, this is a BS article... The "horrors" of crime in the days of the Mafia pale into insignificance to the "horrors" of crime today in the northeast, N Y, Chicago and other former centers of Mafia power and control...
When my high school buddies and myself would drive into NYC from CT, we never had to worry about being stabbed, blown up, or run over... Many times, in a drunken stupor, we would simply park and sleep any where from Harlem to Greenwich Village...
Even after I got out of the Marines Corps I spent half my time int the city in Harlem and the other half in Greenwich Village... In those days, the only people that were frequently subjected to the half-filled sock were the queers...

“Michael Corleone says hello.” That line from... “The Godfather 2” is uttered just before an attempted hit on the character Frank Pantageli. Pentangeli = five angels. Sheesh!

Al Capone was a mobster, but he wasn’t in the Mafia. He wasn’t Sicilian.

As a teen at a “Christian” school, I was appalled how most of the student body relished and quoted The Godfather movies - with far more relish than they ever quoted Scripture.
I made a private vow I would boycott them for life.
I have so far kept that vow.
