  • Paul Vario the inspiration for the character Paulie Cicero in Goodfellas, and former mentor to Henry Hill, was once convicted for a horrendous sordid violent crime.
    He wasn't the only member of Cosa Nostra to be found guilty of one the worst criminal acts around. A crime that is often thought of as against the rules of the American Mafia.
    This American Mafia documentary looks at two examples where two Cosa Nostra members, Lucchese Crime Family's Paul Vario and Christopher Furnari, reached the higher echelons of the mob despite previously being convicted of this heinous crime.
    Check out the truth of this Mafia myth, that goes against everything you thought you knew about Mafia history.

    Yes! As promised! Another one you absolutely nailed. You even found the old newspaper clippings. Unreal. The moral here is that nearly *all* talk of rules in the mob is rank nonsense. These men chose life in the mafia precisely because of their *contempt* for rules. After all, if they cared about rules, they wouldn't have become criminals in the first place. So the idea that they would rigorously enforce their own rules is absurd. They enforced rules when it suited them.

    Another great one OC Shortz. BTW - didn't it come that Vario may have 'forced himself' on Karen Hill, and remember when she said that the pistol whipping her neighbor got when Henry violently attacked him "kinda turned her on" and so, like an old school gumadah she turned it into a relationship afterward, while Henry was in the joint doing a stint, to get by while Henry was away AND it was also something she did to also piss Henry off because she caught him with his side piece and she knew it would sting that much more because it was Vario?
    Thought you might be able to find something about that somewhere in all those excellent cosa nostra books (on your shelves behind you - some of which I also read over the years) you read and wherever you find all these facts while doing your research. Keep up the great work!
    BTW - I grew up in Atlantic City/Philadelphia area and worked for Nicky Scarfo and cooperating nephew Phil Leonetti way back when. Maybe you could do a few more stories on that psychotic maniac and his rat fink nephew.
    I also find it interesting how you, being from Britain, don't do a channel on the mobs of the UK - I find those guys just as fascinating. Some even more so. Later.

    I think when they say "we only kill our own" their definition of their own includes anyone who participated in any criminal act or beneffitted from a mob releated crime.
    E.g. if you had a garbage hauling company and you joined the garbage club you were "one of them" and therefore eligible to be killed if you annoyed them. Why you joined the gaerbage club (e.g. because you were scared not to) doesn't matter as long as you got some jobs (benefit) from the club.
    I don't think I agree with their definition of "our own" but I think from the stuff I have read, that is how they see it.
    We also say that as a culture we don't respect sexual abuse - "I did not have sex with that woman (but she blew me and who knows where my cigar went)" - and we don't hold teh abusers and rapists with power responsible - why would we think it would be any different in the Mob, who are after all just members of society, in the same way politicians and CEOs are just member sof society and also espouse good family values - but don't get any meaningful punishment when they do break the rules.
    Power is the same everywhere, govt, church, business, the boy scouts and the mob.
    Not sure why we would ever expect the mob to live up to highr standards than any other of out institutions.
    As a society we don't live up to our values, why would the mob live up to theirs?

    Great work OC. Mafia leaves out the emotional effects of their hits. All criminala have mothers, grandmas, wives, kids etc. Aren't family members"hurt." Many lives are ruined by the hits-no one gets that or cares. . Psychopaths take whatever they want- including sex.. Boy Funari looks like a devil or monster.

      While I agree with your comments the Mafia is hardly alone in ingoring the "Collateral damage" of the actions it takes.
      Governments and corporations do exactly the same thing. Many lives are ruined by wars, policy changes and work accidents. The acts maybe different but the damage to families etc is the same - and often the governmetns and corporations are causing that damage by illegal acts e.g. not putting saftey devices inplace because they are "too expensive", invading countries to capture made up chemical weapons etc.
      So while I agree with what you said, the mob is hardly unique amongst our institutions in doing that stuff.
