Maybe don't be a gang leader?
March 14, 2019 at 6:50 am
I see nothing romantic about thugs who commit crimes and murder people. Movie plots are one thing, but in reality, bullies hurt others, steal from others, and eventually some who are the lead bully end up dead. The mafia in reality is immoral. Now while nobody deserves to die like this, and we have courts for a reason, it shouldn't shock anyone. Gambino crime boss shot dead in front of his home.

The Mafia is made up of bad guys.  Got it.

Not the point. Everyone knows they are. I could also care less if one were part of a white biker gang selling meth. Men in general can be really fucking stupid thinking that cheating and secrecy and bullying makes one "tough" and manly. Nope, it just makes one a fucking moron. And lots of times doing that stupid shit makes one a dead moron.

If the Mafia being made up of bad guys isn't the point, why did you waste an entire paragraph telling us that the Mafia is made up of bad guys?

"Gang" is in the title.

The mafia is one form of gang.

Bikers can also be crime gangs.

Street gangs are also gangs.

This is more about men in general as fully grown adults being asshole bullies. Being a bully doesn't make one a "man".

I wonder if he received a fish in the mail? Do they still do that?

The fish would have been sent to his associates, not to the dead man. But a fish wouldn't have been sent in any case, as he wasn't dumped in the water.

That would constitute a threat to convince you to give Johnny Fontaine the part in the new war picture.
