I learned a lot about the US justice system. You can extort, torture, kill,... but you have to pay your taxes! You can try to change the outcome of an election with violence, but you can't pay hush money to a pornstar without paying taxes.

People don't realise that Al did all this whilst in his 20's! He was locked up just after he turned 30. That's when his syphilis started to kick in and he slowly lost his mind. A crazy life and all done inside about 30 years.

Hannah Arendt thought the fascination with the underworld in our modern society relates to the dominant class, the bourgeoisie, recognizing that the underworld represents bourgeois values stripped of the accompanying hypocrisy, a very enticing vision to folk like that.

One could say 'Al Capone' could be responsible for the very same gang culture that plagues Chicago's Southside today! I was forbidden to write about the 'slave trade' in 1981 at school with NO reason as to why I couldn't write about it, so I wrote about 'Al Capone' instead my history teacher was not impressed with my explicit biography of the once infamous Alphonse Gabriel Capone! Size X UK born 1966 in Racist England!

Al Capone - a man who spent the later part of his life dribbling out of the side of his mouth and sitting in his own soiled unders … the reward that rightly comes to those in the 2nd half of their life who lived how he did in the first
