THE BLACK HAND FORUM

There's something about the allure of the Mafia that makes young criminals gravitate towards them. Perhaps they think it'll help them climb up the criminal ladder. It's probably the crime movies, the video games, the TV series and the American popular culture, all of them fixated on the Italian-Ame...

Trust me, you'd still get your ass beat. Recent cases in the past few years have proved beyond a reasonable doubt that mobsters still beat the hell out of people on the regular. There is only serious trouble for it if you're on probation, or if they make it "in-aid-of-racketeering." Other...

The Dangerous areas in America are where there is a high concentration of *******es. Last year in Chicago, there were 4,000 shootings and 80% were *******es shooting other *******es in certain PARTS of Chicago. This problem happens in many other big inner cities also. People in Italy do not have to...

Yeah thats what I always thought about Western countries, safer and less tolerence to violence. But the data shows that America has a very high rate of murder, which is around 5/100000 per year, while Italy only get 0.7 of 100000 people murdered, which indicate Italy is pretty safe. It seems that y...

I think it's also because the general population of the country in the USA and Canada is much more disgusted by violence than in Southern Italy or the Balkans or Latin America. In the USA and Western Europe if you just punch a guy in the public you can get serious assault charges. Also, people in th...

In fact, I cant see any reason why american mobsters should be weaker than their Italian friends, they share a similar culture and young guys all like gym, the older guys with money and power maybe dont care about that so wherever you looks its similar, if you watched the movie version of Gomorra y...

This guy Slava is from Europe so everything in Europe is better. LOL Having a better organized crime is nothing to brag about. In fact, my own city and country don't have much urban street violence and everything has to be clean and organized here. There is some mob presence from Serbs and Albanian...

Hey I'm from Serbia, so welcome to the board. Don't know if your new or not. Hvala. Inače registrirao sam se ovdje već prije ali onda dugo vremena nisam pisao ništa. On your post, the thing is that the mob is on the outs now but they have a lot of young asocciates. Look at the latest FBI indicments...

Yes the Soprano family is tough they murdered every informant in their crew and they had a war with NY mob, so they would be scary if not look so funny. When I said they are soft I mean the way they portray, and the part of the life the show focus on. For example Chris doesnt look scary but in real...

Thank you for your reply. Are these old fellas still active in the business? If they are I think they have to be using younger gangsters to do their dirty work. I agree cosa nostra in US is much less powerful now and they seems to lack new blood, but I think they still larger than other ethnic grou...

Slovenia, why?

Thanks but it didnt affect me that much, but I believe that the people around here who were close in that situation are Alexfromsouth and Strax. Can you believe that there was no real organized crime on the Balkans until the conflict or should i say until the late q980s and early 90s?! I mean there...

Hi, fellas, Im new here and I would like to ask about the average age of mobsters. Read the charts and found that most made guys are in their 60s to 80s, although I know these guys still can manage their businesses, how do mob keep its position in the underworld with them? I mean, you need the capa...

Being made is simply the license to steal. You still have to go out and do the stealing. The more I read about the modern American LCN, the more I wonder why anyone would like to become a made guy these days. Wouldn't it be much easier to pursue a criminal career independently with a small crew of ...
