Cheech you could be my favourite poster.
Christie, step it up.
How? I don't deal in mob apologists. I just laugh. Anyone who glamorizes the mafia as a good thing never lost a relative, never had to stay silent, never had to eat shit. There's problems with the American legal system but if the game here seems to be that the FBI has an intentional bias against Italians (as per the avatar) and that they directly target us because of that then- no, nooooo, no!
Doesn't help at all that American's have a fascination with people who skirt the law. Bonnie and Clyde are one thing. The mafia however are career criminals. Take away all my operational vs operandi bullshit most them make their living committing crime. They skirt the laws we have to follow everyday. It'd be like me driving 60 in a school zone every day and then being pulled over one day and handed a ticket. It sucks but for every time I drove over the limit that's 10 times I didn't for everytime I was caught and cited. It is what it is, cost of speeding down the turnpike.
As a kid, I wanted to be Dracula for halloween, I built one of those oldschool octagonal coffins, added handle bars, painted it, shit looked real. Well I grew older and outgrew it and gave it to my aunt who was dating some loosely connected asshole (non-member) with Detroit. One day some agents with the blue jackets and glasses and all stormed her house and ordered her to sit in a chair, they handcuffed her and kicked it over and ransacked the house. Upon seeing what I built in my cousins old room, she heard a shout from one of the agents: "There's a coffin in here! There's a coffin in here!" She had a laugh. They found shit.
Point being, don't commit crime or either hide that shit well because if you're caught, you're fucked and you have only yourself to blame.
I think sonny said it in jest
