I like "The Mad Hatter" too. The only thing is that he scares. I mean, he was respondsible for 700 to 1,000 murders. Now that scares me. After watching, A Bronx Tale, it got me thinking. What if Anastasia wasn't killed? Since Gotti looked up to him, Anastasia could have convinced him not to be a gangster. The only thing about that is even though Gotti never spoke to Anastasia, Anastasia had one of his guys watch over Gotti for him. So I do not know if Anastasia would have tried to stop him or even if he could.
I like Costello because he was almost killed by Gigante. He did not tell the cops it was him, although he knew it was Gigante who tried to kill him. Also I saw a picture of him in a book, that showed his reaction after he was almost killed, and he looked like he just did not care. He even had politicians wrapped around his finger. Now that's impressive.
Luciano is the one who organized the so-called "Mafia" to what it is today.(Even though I do not think he would be too happy about how it is right now. ) Also some of the things he said were "enlighting." Like the quote about how people can be bought. The fact that he had a 30 year sentence and got out of it. He was one of the greatest "Mafia" bosses. There will never be another Lucky Luciano!
John Gotti is not the greatest Mob boss, but I like him. I like Gotti because there is something about his personality that is hard not to like. I know many people will disagree with me, and I respect that. It's their opinion. I hope they respect mine too. I liked that he calls people his "public". :rolleyes: He's one of the people who made me care about the "Mafia." He made me care about what happens to them. It's strange! Don't get me wrong, I do not condone what he has done, but I believe all people have good in them. Sometimes people can change. Unless that person is Gravano, then it's virtually impossible. I'm not going to get started on Gravano. I'll do another post on that, not when I'm talking about my favorites.
