Warning, do not read this article if you do not want to lose IQ points. This is as dumb as it gets. Some jerk is playing on people who watch too many movies, and think it is real. The Godfather was not a documentary. Let’s see, the same guys who would sell heroin to your kids are going to get all patriotic. BS. They would more than likely sell weapons to terrorists if a buck could be made. They are the scum of the Earth, and they act accordingly. Plus they do not have the sway, even in NYC, that they used to. Russian, Albanian, etc gangsters have taken over their action. And it is hard for these wiseguys to defend their turf from the nursing home.
Whereas Goodfellas was as close as you can get. These scumbags are backshooters who prey on the defenseless. Against actual trained and armed opposition, they'd die like flies. Heck, they kill friends and relatives over money disputes. Again, by bushwhacking them.
