To: I see my hands
From Wikipedia:

"A more popular and more simplified definition of the code of omertà is:

"Whoever appeals to the law against his fellow man is either a fool or a coward. Whoever cannot take care of himself without police protection is both. It is as cowardly to betray an offender to justice, even though his offences be against yourself, as it is not to avenge an injury by violence. It is dastardly and contemptible in a wounded man to betray the name of his assailant, because if he recovers, he must naturally expect to take vengeance himself."


That is simplified? Imagine tattooing that to your throat instead.
