Falcone and the rest of the guys will be remembered for some time, as for Riina, he will be engraved in the sands of time for his horrific activities...sad but thats how life goes
The brutal violence he unleashed was extremely effective in gaining the ultimate power. He killed everyone and their brother who dared to oppose him and the ones left alive feared him forever. The only thing left for him to worry about were the Italian authorities, who also feared him. There were no more rivals to stab him in the back. No more need for diplomacy or deals either, his word was final. He really was the king.
Nicely said and as I always say, you're either the bad guy or the good guy, you cant be both. Mob history has taught us that many high profile Mafia members tried to establish some respectful relations with the opposite side or the law, or at least tried to maintain the balance between the two worlds, but Riina was one-sided only and tried to completely destroy and also takeover the opposite side which is quite natural in the way of how one real deadly virus or poison works...no reasoning, no nothing...only death...thank God for making him the only one during that time, because if there were at least a dozen like him in the U.S. during the 1980s for example, they would've ruled the whole world by now lol
