"A true gangster can smell out a person's strengths and weaknesses in a matter of minutes, but what they can sense most of all, what their bodies are most attuned to, is the scent of fear" - Mario The Italian Plumber
My ancestors were part of the Black Hand. My Italian part of my family were from Sicily and their last name was DiMauro. My great-great grandfather was the number three man in Johnstown, Pennsylvania. My great grandma told me a lot of stories. They lived in an apartment building and the top floor was reserved for the upper members. The Black Hand primarily did the extortion racket, the whole “pay us for protection” thing.
And my ancestors were the founding members blah blah blah every person with a smidge of Italian heritage always say the same things “my family has people in the mob”
I am Italian and I can say that Cosa Nostra is still here and is full active, particularly in Calabria region, which is the poorest and less developed region in Italy
the Mafia has syndicates around the country including Boston my best friend as a child's father was a made man in East Boston I was at their house for a playdate the day he was arrested more than 30 years ago
My mates at school and I were talking about where we came from and I simply said I'm from Italy and they said you do know the mafia originated from there right I said yeah I have contacts in the mafia mate so don't annoy me and they haven't messed with me for like 5 months 😂
My grandpa was friends with a guy named Eugene “The Animal” Ciacullo and every year before he died, he would call him and would ask him if he needed “any favors” if you catch my drift, both my uncles were friends with his kids and the oldest uncle owns his old house in PA
I feel like Charles Luciano should get more credit for the formation of Cosa Nostra. It was his idea, and he played major a role in both Maranzano’s and Joe Masseria’s death. He was also the first Chairman of the commission.
I don't know about that. His family was taken over by Genevese and he appearing to have been slowly losing power since his exile to italy. I think Joe Bonanno was secretly more powerful. He still has a family in his name the only original still around from 1930's. Boss at 26. Despite his interviews, attempted take over of the commission, book and movies he was not taken out. Died of natural causes in 2002.
Remember this video when you're thinking about romanticizie mafia. Even in Italy we fought Cosa Nostra and it cost us much brave men lifes. They put bombs at roads, military base, squares and only in the 90s we managed to condamn most leaders of Cosa Nostra. Even the army was deployed with tanks and armored vehicle in the Vespri Siciliani operation...
Please make an video about Afghanistan and Taliban ? 1) What will happen once Taliban get complete & legally control on Afganistan ? 2) how it's affect the world 🌎? 3) what will happen to Afganistan Citizens ? How's their lifestyle will change ? 4) How Taliban won war ? 5) what other countries do about that ? 6) will Taliban do next after winning Afganistan ? 7) war crimes during the war ?
It hasn't at all been established that the name "Cosa Nostra" has ever been an "official" name for the Sicilian mob. That term was never really current till Joe Valachi testified before Congress. The preferred older term was mafia (as opposed to camorra, which was used by/for Neapolitan gangsters), then after Luciano, it was largely known as the Commission.
Vincent 'The Chin' Gigante allegedly attempted to assassinate Frank Costello (the acting head of the Commission) in his youth. Costello kept his mouth shut and Gigante was amply reward for his effort.
@@nemesis9514 There are five families in New York and they actually had another smaller family in New Jersey.. They no longer exist as far as anyone knows.
3:00 “Say hello the fish!” They say as they sensually rub their victims shoulders. For their next victim they attempt a little levitation while also giving their barnyard friends a lovely magic act.
It would’ve been nice if the boss helped a woman in need who was wrongly imprisoned in Florida. Honestly tho, they could’ve defeated that priest with no issue at all
My pepere was in the mafia. Even though his wife was French, he was Italian. He also had buddies from the mafia who would come around for the special events. One of them was named Joe and he was a person who did drive-bys. I never met any of them, but I have heard many entertaining stories regarding them.
You should do a video series of the mafia in each major city in America besides New York like Philadelphia Pittsburg and Kansas City and Boston and others
I remember telling my teacher I was more afraid of mafia's then the run of the mill Chicago gangs and my teacher said they're basically the same they're really not 😂
This video made it seem like the families hated each other and were constantly battling which is untrue (after the Castellamarese war of course). The only mafia wars that there ever were in the US were civil wars within the families (Colombo family is the best example). They actually work with each other and often share rackets.
Now, i know the main reason giorno joined a gangster team called passione with Buciarati to defeat Diavolo, in order to achieve his dream of becoming a mafia boss in Italy.
La Cosa Nostra is how the feds referred to the mafia , it's just cosa nostra which means our thing or our cause; not la cosa nostra which is " The Our thing ".
I think Marv and Harry(soldiers of the Gambino family) deserve more credit for robbing houses and turning on all faucets in the house, hence the "wet bandits" deserve more credit.
At least I know that the De Petro family name won’t show up in these because I don’t think we ever had any ties to the mafia… I could be wrong though. Hopefully I am not wrong.
Cool video, and obviously ment to be a bit funny. For anyone wondering. Moon clips are for revolvers so one can utilize auto loading cartridges in them. Clips in rifles are only legitimate for rifles like the M1 Garand.
