_"Don't mistake my kindness for weakness. I am kind to everyone, but when someone is unkind to me, weakness is not what you are going to remember me for.”_
Al Capone
A good quote, it can be used in everyday life as well.

I don't know why, but I'm always fascinated by stories about various criminals of the past. Posting more videos like this!
Perhaps this is due to the fact that they have a very eventful life.
I've been fascinated with the mafia since ever since I was a kid there's so much history I know about them I could go on forever but they did do this they bought every politician and judge they needed to just like what's going on now
Me too is bc we are curious bout shit like specially when u heard those thing since we were a kid
The photos make him look like a fairly jovial, friendly guy.
He was more honest than any politician.
I don't think any criminal can be honest. He commits crimes, so someone suffers because of it.
That is a bold statement.
And just as murderous
Very sad but TRUE !
@@michaelm5601 back in the old days the Mafia took good care of the neighborhood.
Wow, he was one of the original 100 first inmates to be in Alcatraz! Fresh paint & no privileges.
I don’t think Capone was stupid, I believe he was highly intelligent. That’s why he became a leader
The person who organized this level of business definitely cannot be stupid.
He outsmarted himself
I don't think that's the issue. Name at least one criminal who was not punished in the end.
Never let schooling get in the way of a good education.

If you ever have the chance to go to Alcatraz, take it. It is an incredible, humbling, and somber experience.
Yes, the place is really interesting and creepy.
Todays criminals hide & aren't in the public eye like those in the 20's. They were funny & likable because they were in the business of providing alcohol which the public agreed with as they too didn't agree with the law.
Everyone knew he was a criminal, He just refused to pay tribute ( Tax ) to the federal criminals...It's an Italian thing!
Well, if he is a criminal, then he should have been tried, right?
I just visited he's graveside this past weekend, I always stop by him 1st 😊
Interesting. Do you live close to where he is buried?
"Asking polite with a gun in your hand is better than asking polite " Al Capone
The quote is interesting, but I don't agree with it. If you ask with a gun, it's not a request anymore.
Can't figure how someone with that kind of money would go to prison. I'd run to the other side of the world.
He was already a musician. His niece told about him playing guitar.
I found no information that he was familiar with music, except for his time in prison. In any case, this is an interesting fact.
@@rarehistory3416 I never had either, but last week I saw an interview with his niece whose family lived downstairs from "Uncle Al". BTW, thanks for this thoughtful and non sensational report.
I remember when my family and I took the San Francisco tour and we went to Alcatraz and we got to see the prisoners how they spent their lives and when we came across Al Capone's jail, cell I was like wow
Yes, I'm sure it was an interesting journey. The atmosphere of the past is always fascinating.
it was @@rarehistory3416
If he only had some penicillin......
Awesome video😎👍
thank you for comment! Will try to make more videos about Alcatraz prisoners
His mugshot shows him almost relieved it was over.
He found Rest
I think he was just sure that he would soon be released from prison.
I went to Alcatraz but they didn’t say much about Al Capone so I have been watching videos on him.
It is strange that in such a place there was no guide.
Very cool, I'm gonna binge watch some vids. 😁
Great) Will try to make them more interesting.
My grandmother worked for him in Chicago
Very cool! Did she say something about him? It is very interesting to get information from a person who saw him live.
Someone has already asked’. But would love to know what your Grandma has to say about him ‘
An insight to the past.
Thanks 🙏
Maybe that's what Shutter Island is about!🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯
Just a normal prison, only well protected.
I'm 68 I'm infatuated with this s*** since I've been a kid I did a book report on Al Capone in school and it got rejected my family's came through Ellis Island I learned everything about all this s*** and I love it
The life story of Al Capone is very interesting. But I don't recommend it to anyone.
He could've been an accomplished professional musician. But life took a different path.
Just because he played the banjo in prison doesn't make him a professional musician. It's more like a hobby.
@@rarehistory3416 if he was good at it there is no reason why he couldn't be a professional. My mate is absolutely amazing on the guitar. But like most businesses it's not how good you are but who you know. And that definitely was the case back in the day. And Al Capone had the contacts if he wanted to push for a music career. Its diffrent now though. As all you need is to be able to cry and have a dead nan and Reality TV does the rest.
Yes, he may well have become a famous person in another field, but fate decreed otherwise.
He had a will to power though and being a musician wouldn't satisfy that.
When Capone arrived in Atlanta, May 1932, he was diagnosed with syphilis, gonorrhea and a deviated septum from his years of cocaine addiction.
Capone had been warned about having syphilis years earlier, when it could have been cured, but he declined treatment (some say he was afraid of needles).
We actually know who the Polish-American sex worker was who passed on syphilis to Capone.
Interesting continuation of the story. What was the name of that worker?
He was warned about it about his syphilis he didn't want to realize it what he would do boys try out all the prostitutes that's exactly what he did you play you pay there's nothing worse than a filthy woman
Whatever it was - his way of life led to death
Everything leads to death what difference does it make
@@bobrose1320 Wow he was punish
beautiful pictures
thank you. We have a lot videos with historical personalities.
Interesting
Thank you. Please tell what historical persons you are interested in too?
Very grateful grandpa wont let you down
He would have made a good cop as violent as he was!!
If he was a cop, we probably wouldn't know about him. It is one thing to commit crimes and quite another to defend against them.
My uncle took a boat tour of Biscayne bay in 1946 when he was in the navy. The boat went by Al's house and he saw him fishing in his swimming pool, wearing that striped bathrobe.
Cool! Just like in the photos in this video!
@@rarehistory3416 he said that what you saw in photos is exactly what he saw.
Sold him to burnt fishings in the pentrientry systems
I overlook the St Valentine’s massacre site. I wish the garage had not been torn down. Now it’s just a vacant grassy lot
Perhaps this is good. Other than a serious crime, this place is not known for anything else.
These politicians belong in jail so sad what they did to him.
Whatever it was - Al Capone was a criminal. And his fate is a prison.
Clinton Obama Biden and more than half of judges that are paid off why aren't they in jail?
Originally from NY but he navigated to Chitown. Ah... Chicago the city where all politicians serve Two terms. One in office and one in Prison. 🙄
Yes, Chicago is a legendary city.
This guy needed penicillin..
SAINT MICHAEL THE ARCHANGEL
The Patron Saint Of Police Officers
Seems like despite his long prison sentence, Al made the best of it.
Yes, as in many other cases with which he dealt.
His brain was rotting from syphilis.
@thejoyofthemusic,he was a thug,nothing,more nothing less.Just a criminal thug.........
@@rarehistory3416 He was a criminal thug.. .
A friend of mine works at Alcatraz, Al Capones cell is off limits, but I got to go inside his cell and have a seat on his toilet. I also went into the infirmary and into the Birdmans cell, both. off limits.
Very good! Touched history in a sense.
Another Capricorn ♑ sign ...we're "Bad Asses" ...if you push us there ...otherwise, we're cuddly critters
Very interesting remark))
@@rarehistory3416 it's true 👍
Yup..caps like the crime life
@@minorsnow5306 yesss ...Joseph Stalin one
👍
Meant to say yeah he was
satan in the human shape......
He was a serious criminal, but far from the level of satan.
@@rarehistory3416 I agree 💯
I agree
What exactly do you agree with?
At least he did not straddle both sides of the fence every body knew were they stood with him
Yes, everyone knew he was a criminal. But the police could not prove it for a long time. This is his uniqueness.
I wanna be that humble
There still is the getaway underground outside of Onarga ,Illinois where he and others made their getaway. I don’t know what’s left of it but I know it’s still there.
Interesting information, but facts confirming this are needed.
AWESOME
thank you) will try to make better videos.
Now every Italian on earth think they are related ,but do they realise the smallest book in the public library is Italian war hero's 🤔
at 5 "7 he was as tall as tom mapother
BADA BING!
Al Capone. Al Catraz.
It feels like it was his destiny from birth.
If I remember hearing correctly, his mother and wife were devout Catholics. I believe that Capone also returned to the faith and was active in creating a chapel. I’d be curious to know if this is actually true.
I did not find anything like this in the biography of Al Capone. If this is true, then the fact is really interesting.
I find it interesting that one of his granddaughters expects to see him in Heaven. Wonder if she knows some individuals don't get to see God's golden shore
"Life After 40" in 2023. You've got 30 to 40 more years of working to afford to die with dignity.
Much depends on education and upbringing. Then it will be possible to start living with dignity earlier.
@@rarehistory3416 I always thought this was a given. Unfortunately, this doesn't stand for much when the owners of our countries are fkng criminals.
He tells me from there he went into sewer an I in concrete
I don't understand what you mean
Oh yeah... Well then.
Hi except for his criminal life, he was not stupid.
Some criminals have a unique mindset, and even fewer are geniuses in their criminal business.
Rare history: Like your hero’s hillary and mike obama
Ciiiilluuuukk baaaa
Sal capone
Il problema non è stato lui ma tutti quelli dello "Stato" che prendevano le mazzette di dollari da lui e lo facevano "lavorare" tranquillo.
Quel business si basa sul crimine. Se era un uomo d'affari rispettoso della legge e poi si è trasformato in un criminale, si potrebbe incolpare lo stato.
Al Capucchion capebbomba
Dovrà andarci se possibile.
He knew how to take care of business
Yes, he was very good in business.
With violence of course
To think he was called a gangster well all these so called crooked police are what
He was so darn smart, he could have been so much more,but I don’t think he would have changed.. he started the soup kitchens and many more charities… I toured Alcatraz and saw his cell, my one claim to fame! Haha. Very interesting, atmospheric feel to the whole island.
That's right, he was smart. But we must not forget the crimes that he committed.
Wonder why he went to jail smart my arse
You guys want to play rock paper scissors.. or would you like bullet…. The Capone family is strong today and we watch listen to all .
Did he grow up in Sydney 😅😅😅😅
O yes he was such a good man 🥴
He was a criminal - that's a fact, no one is trying to whiten his reputation.
@lynnsxotland826,so a good man,has people killed,their stores bombed?Tell me what I'm missing.....
Fully agree. No criminal should be called good. He may have done good things, but that doesn't lessen the harm of his crimes.
Al Capone era um santo, comparado com Lula da Silva.
Quais crimes Lula da Silva cometeu?
@@rarehistory3416 inúmeros. Procure se informar melhor no google.
Capon?!😂
His name and surname are pronounced differently.
Capone died from a STD disease.
Yes, he died of syphilis
Tee hee! All these Capone videos are enjoying a surge. It takes on relevance with Trump’s well deserved impending prosecution!
What is the connection between Capone and Trump?
@@rarehistory3416 - After all of his many serious crimes (including murder) Capone was finally put away for tax evasion. It could not have happened to a nicer guy!
Are you implying that Trump will face the same fate?
@@rarehistory3416 - He will be found guilty. Not sure if he’ll do jail time.
Finding guilty is the first step to punishment
Jeez..we got Capone finally...but Trump goes scott-free!
Everything has its time. Justice will prevail.
Should have a special on the Kennedys and Clinton's. Makes Trump look like a choir boy
What do you mean by special information?
@@davidmontanari1241 Kennedy and Clinton had their issues, so did F****G Reagan and that war criminal George W Bush! But none of them tried to overturn a free and fair election through violent insurrection! And even have the audacity to phone the Georgia secretary of state and demand 11, 780 votes be 'found!' so yeah, many of our former presidents weren't angels, but they wouldn't have attempted coups to install themselves dictator dip-shit! - don't even compare the former...
@@Tully241 reap what we sow. God has a plan for this country. Making dark history as we speak with current administration. Afghanistan I thought was his crowning moment but there appears to be plenty more to come. History in the making.
He played Banjo? Was he any good ?
I doubt he has had much success with this. Most likely played at an amateur level.
No he was rubbish
Al Capocchione,o cap re sciem!!!
