The Mafia are not as honourable as most of you think either. The "protection" they provide is not even what it's name entails. They force business owners into paying them a weekly or monthly sum of money because their business is on that particular Mafioso's "territory." If the business owner refuses to pay, he is punished severely. Either his income is affected or his health is affected. There is and never was any honour in the Mafia. It is a criminal organisation of thugs, who, in most cases, were too lazy to get a decent education so they decided to use violence to "earn" their income.
