As much as I like to visit Philly and NYC, this is an aspect of city life I am happy to have missed. Just like in a revolution or civil war, those involved in this type thing have no real limits. Sure, there are some who have limits, but the psychopaths will take over, and will act with no remorse.

NONE.

The Biggest mistake is assuming that the worst ones have any humanity.

They will slice your throat, bury you and then go out and party like they just got off from an everyday 9 to 5.

What bothered me most is that some of them apparently had "normal" family lives and kept their families out of it.

MANY do.

In my family...Frunzi, Vinny, Jimmy, Neally, Anthony...great uncles and older cousins..all dead now so stating their names doesn’t matter much.

Nice guys, tough as nails but warm and protective and gave good gifts :)

I had NO IDEA what they were involved in until my early teens.

ice man is a FRAUD. Killed 4 people..all freaks, none mobsters.

So many button men would kill JUST to get on a boss’ good side - for FREE.

Why would they pay him.

And if for some reason they did pay, it’s so little that he would have had to kill hundreds and hundreds in his lifetime. He didn’t.

If the Boss of a family has 150 button men, why is he gonna pay some Polish guy to do the hit?

More than a few time when the Mafia uses someone who’s not Italian to do a hit, they end up killing the person who did the hit later on. Sometimes much shorter than later on.

I’m not a little sure. I’m positive.

He was never a Mafia hit man.

At least we won’t have to listen to all the sycophantic reporting on his funeral.

Gambino and his older brother Thomas were longtime owners and operators of numerous Garment District trucking companies.

My grandparents were from Sicily, but like Sargent Schultz, "I see nothing, I hear nothing, I know nothing".

Is a Gambino, like a bambino?
