@@AllenHanPR That's not how life expectancy works. The average is just a worthless number that had no bearing on how long people actually lived. Infant and child mortality had more to do with low average numbers than how long people who actually reached adulthood lived. Most people who didn't die before age 18 tended to live into their late 50's or early 60's. Even during the most brutal of medieval times, this was mostly true. Even if "average life expectancy was 40 years old at this time" people healthy enough to survive to adulthood made it into their 50's. 30 years old was not considered old age.

You’re absolutely right about Capone. Hell, I’d argue that most of today’s drug dealers would be successful if they went legit. However, it’s very hard to go legit when you get a taste of easy money.
My aunt born in 1900 met him. As a boy she would tell me stories about living in Chicago in the 1920s. She said he would act as a host in his clubs; sit at their table and tell jokes then on to the next. She said he was a very nice and generous man.

The one thing i do admire is that Mr. Capone fed many poor and hungry citizens during the great depression, operating a multitude of soup kitchens ... coming from an italian background, i can say that does warm my heart because food is what we italians will always share to comfort others and show our gratitude ...:) xox
Aswell as sharing the fascism that the Italians invented in 1921 under Mussolinis first ever Fascist party. Im sure you will find some way to flip that historical fact into some romanticize version to warm your heart to.
That was exactly the point. To win over simple minded people like you into believing that what he was doing was good for the poor and unfortunate people.
He couldn't be a made man because he was not Sicilian nor of Sicilian descent. He was Neapolitan. The Cosa Nostra worked with him because he owned Chicago. His "Murder Incorporated", Anastasia's group of killers, killed mostly civilians, and unaffiliated criminals.

you know ...I thought of that very deeply for some time now and always wonder about it but the reality is very few old time gangsters would survive nowadays and even become something in their lives.Dispite there were some smart people back then , they did what had to be done in their time with their concepts,they used the resources available in those days in their advantage like we can do today with our own , maybe we will not be able to survive in 2113 with our concepts and education now.Salute
He had a house on a lake up in Iron county. A dear friend was a kid in the 20’s and shined his shoes at his Dad’s barbershop and got a smudge of black polish on his white silk socks. Al Capone gave him a five dollar gold coin and said no problem kid.
Al Capone was finally sent to prison for failing to lodge tax papers. Today America has a president that BRAGS that he hasn't paid tax. My, how America has fallen,
Did anybody ever escape then?Seems like even if you beat then once they just keep coming back with charges till they get you on one .Seems like they have fixed jury who would put a girl scout for selling cookies without a permit to jail for life /temporary evidence to put you away even if you are innocent .
He murdered people, kidnapped people, spread fear among people, the reason why people were starving was because he had all of they're money to begin with. If he was such a great hero, he could've ended the great depression, but it wasn't him who ended it, it was the legalization of alcohol. Stop glorifying these people.
No. He was chosen because it was his turn. He was tipped off by the head of the IRS team investigating Capone, who was tipped off by the local feds. The IRS accountants and detectives spent four years working up the case against Capone, according to the head of the group, who wrote a book on their investigation, which was not triggered by any informant, but by the records of a bookmaker, whose records traced back to an alias of Capone.
Just was who had a very strong will and courage and had no doubts going through his goals. Usually such kind of people live expressive fast temped life, but short life. Good physical health and lot of bits of charm. Real leaders skills. Shining up like a rear comet, leaving the long trace. And there an important point - they have no fear of death, that means - no fear to live.
Capone should have created his own foundation only for the purpose of money laundering as Russians do in America. Lucky Luciano was much smarter than he was.
Capone'origins were Neapolitan, which explains a lot. Had he been from Sicily he'd have kept a much, much more low-profile attitude. This is not to say that he would have lived a peaceful life though. His was a sad life that ended in a miserable way.
And as a kid in the streets i was told by an og/cluck real gangsters don't go to jail for they crimes they go for tax evasion. I moved in these street differently from that day on. I was a listener & observer. Never blame no one for the cards i was delt. I made my choices.
al capone was a good guy though. well not a good guy in that sens but he was much better than the gangsters that he was fighting. he was a rebel against the government more so than a gangster. u dont see people glamorize people like ICE MAN or Charles Manson cause they wer just pure and evil killers, but its different when it comes to old 30s and 40s gangsters.
Capone's downfall was actually caused by syphilis, not by the government. Officially, to this day he is still innocent of any murder, racket, extorsion, corruption, trafficking, etc.! He was condemned for tax evasion and did some time, nothing special for a mob boss. Normally he could have retained his influence over the organisation and continued his activities upon release from jail. But he was mentally deteriorated by the illness. He lived his final years in luxury, playing with toys like a child. If the US government took any part in his ”downfall”, it was possibly by denying him the appropriate medical treatment in jail, although at the time antibiotics were not yet available.
That is not entirely true! Syphilis had nothing at all to do with Al Capones mental deterioration. The U.S government were giving Al Capone mercury vaccine shots in prison before his release and according to Als niece and sister that is what caused Al Capones mental deterioration.

you know ...I thought of that very deeply for some time now and always wonder about it but the reality is very few old time gangsters would survive nowadays and even become something in their lives.Dispite there were some smart people back then , they did what had to be done in their time with their concepts,they used the resources available in those days in their advantage like we can do today with our own , maybe we will not be able to survive in 2113 with our concepts and education now.Salute
Not all mobster are villains most are heroes ...
2:31 I would be livid if someone served me a beer with that much head 😝😂
He had a house on a lake up in Iron county. A dear friend was a kid in the 20’s and shined his shoes at his Dad’s barbershop and got a smudge of black polish on his white silk socks. Al Capone gave him a five dollar gold coin and said no problem kid.
Al Capone was finally sent to prison for failing to lodge tax papers. Today America has a president that BRAGS that he hasn't paid tax. My, how America has fallen,
David Edwards it wasn't legal to evade then. They changed the laws now ,they don't pay tax and its legal.go figure😎
Actually, Trump has paid taxes; what he hasn't done is make his tax records public. Saying he hasn't paid income tax is downright defamatory.
Trump pays his taxes idiot
Hello!!Goodbye!!! He went bankrupt 3 times!
The man of the era Al Capone What does that have to do with him paying his taxes
Publicity got Al Capone also got John Gotti
No. Stupidity.
Capone was a business genius.. If he were legit.. he would be running one of the top Fortune 500 companies.. if not , two or three of them!!
@Arn does I dont think the Gvt gave Al syphyllis .. He was a real hound for the whores and cocaine ... Plus , they got him on tax evasion!
Jonathan is the type of guy you always see at 2am in the corner of your room.
I have some experience in this area. When the Federal Government wants to get you they’re 99% likely to succeed.
Did anybody ever escape then?Seems like even if you beat then once they just keep coming back with charges till they get you on one .Seems like they have fixed jury who would put a girl scout for selling cookies without a permit to jail for life /temporary evidence to put you away even if you are innocent .
He kept towns alive.. fed the poor. Kept economy alive in towns that would otherwise die off. More than the government was doing for the people
He murdered people, kidnapped people, spread fear among people, the reason why people were starving was because he had all of they're money to begin with. If he was such a great hero, he could've ended the great depression, but it wasn't him who ended it, it was the legalization of alcohol. Stop glorifying these people.

The mob can't end a recession in a capitalist economy idiot.
The so called judge handling Al Capone case was also involved I bet smh.....
so called? you dumb fuck
No. He was chosen because it was his turn. He was tipped off by the head of the IRS team investigating Capone, who was tipped off by the local feds. The IRS accountants and detectives spent four years working up the case against Capone, according to the head of the group, who wrote a book on their investigation, which was not triggered by any informant, but by the records of a bookmaker, whose records traced back to an alias of Capone.
Publicity that s what got me. Nowadays it's social media that gets them.
My great great grandfather worked with al Capone
did you add sound.... lol why?!?!?!?
Sometimes you have to play the fool! When you get too big, you have to break things down and be legal.
Just was who had a very strong will and courage and had no doubts going through his goals. Usually such kind of people live expressive fast temped life, but short life. Good physical health and lot of bits of charm. Real leaders skills. Shining up like a rear comet, leaving the long trace. And there an important point - they have no fear of death, that means - no fear to live.
Meyer lansky was much better in staying out of prison.
He was keeping his business underground, low profile.
worked with Joe Kennedy. and once the top guy is in jail the next guy takes over, it never ends
All Iam going to say is that Al is a real gangster unlike these wannabes now
Mr Raymond Valachi Any relation to a certain squealer who ratted out his confederates in the Genovese mob?
And that isn't something to be proud of...
@@user-vl5qg5rf4n Iam not saying it is so stop being one of them people that are so stupid and don't understand what iam saying
Today they call themselves gangsters, there thugs, and slugs, capone was a gangster, when you mention is name you automatically think of chicago
The Fallstaff amendment caused a dislocation in the alcohol beverage market. Caused an increase in pricing.
Capone should have created his own foundation only for the purpose of money laundering as Russians do in America. Lucky Luciano was much smarter than he was.
Lucky might have been smarter, but al was the man
Capone'origins were Neapolitan, which explains a lot. Had he been from Sicily he'd have kept a much, much more low-profile attitude.
This is not to say that he would have lived a peaceful life though. His was a sad life that ended in a miserable way.
Al capone might of been a gangster but a very smart business man.💰
Remember joe Kennedy was a bootlegger
This is why The Joker wouldn’t take on the IRS.
does anybody saw al capone talking?
I would like to wat he sounds like
+faty Mix me 2 man
Great grammar everyone. *slowly start to clap*
+Caleb Staley lmao
Let me help you out here, try it this way ok?.... Did anyone see Al Capone talking? Or, Has anyone seen video footage of Al Capone talking?...
And as a kid in the streets i was told by an og/cluck real gangsters don't go to jail for they crimes they go for tax evasion. I moved in these street differently from that day on. I was a listener & observer. Never blame no one for the cards i was delt. I made my choices.
Al Capone is the definition of a real gangster all these other wanna be are lame
supreme court justice who should be punished for not trying to overturn roe v wade
Good citizens of Chicago. Never been such a person.
yeah he went to prison and his jail cell looked like a bedroom and he still got things he wanted even behind bars.
al capone was a good guy though. well not a good guy in that sens but he was much better than the gangsters that he was fighting. he was a rebel against the government more so than a gangster. u dont see people glamorize people like ICE MAN or Charles Manson cause they wer just pure and evil killers, but its different when it comes to old 30s and 40s gangsters.
No it really isn't. But their PR stunts certainly have you fooled.
Did you know Al Capone had family move to Scotland? I’m from Scotland and I just found this out recently. It blew my mind tbh.
Everybody's a dirty rat now that's that 🐀
He was making $100 MILLION dollars a year . Then along came Eliot Ness and his team...
"Judge got wind of it" like he was honest............in Chicago at that time period! Or even Now! lol
All those soup kitchens must have been tax deductible.
Gotti should have learned from Al about publistity
Capone's downfall was actually caused by syphilis, not by the government.
Officially, to this day he is still innocent of any murder, racket, extorsion, corruption, trafficking, etc.! He was condemned for tax evasion and did some time, nothing special for a mob boss. Normally he could have retained his influence over the organisation and continued his activities upon release from jail. But he was mentally deteriorated by the illness. He lived his final years in luxury, playing with toys like a child. If the US government took any part in his ”downfall”, it was possibly by denying him the appropriate medical treatment in jail, although at the time antibiotics were not yet available.
That is not entirely true!
Syphilis had nothing at all to do with Al Capones mental deterioration.
The U.S government were giving Al Capone mercury vaccine shots in prison before his release and according to Als niece and sister that is what caused Al Capones mental deterioration.
Have y’all seen my new movie “Capone” With Tom Hardy Playing Me, it’s a Master piece.
I thought it was garbage lol
White Bread well I see that your a hater and I like that Cause Haters we’ll Hate
😘🤣😂😅
And the one that is weird and garbage is you for listening to cats meowing for eight minutes straight 🤣😂😅
@@alcapone3735 alright buster take it easy. Seriously though, what did you like about that movie? It had a recipe for greatness and I thought it lacked. Just an opinion.

Capone is a great gangster
