I can't find articles by Google searching anymore and I find it hard to narrow down search results using the search engine so I apologize if this guy has his own thread, and if this article has already been posted.

http://www.theguardian.com/world/2011/nov/25/frank-calabrese-jr-mobster-shopped-dad

Very good article in my opinion. IDK he doesn't sound as bad as some rats. Others probably know more than me.

I read his book " FAMILY SECRETS" and he was really up against the wall, he either was going to do a long stretch in the joint or turn to giving up his old man.

he chose to turn against his dad, who was a very brutal guy. [think greg scarpa] calabrese jr. while making no excuses for himself, just states he wasn't cut out for the life. he and his wife had a nice famlily and a good business, but his mob ties ended everything, my information comes from his book.

I'm friends with him on Facebook, think he lives in Arizona now, huge Blackhawk fan. He doesn't seem like a bad guy, I don't think his heart was every really in it to begin with.

Yea he really didn't have a choice nor did his brother, Frankie Breeze made both of those kids collect for him. You can expect a dysfunctional family after all that b.s. Frank Jr. even gave his Uncle Nick credit for talking Sr. out of using Jr. on a hit.

You know he had to be miserable if he wanted the Feds to pop his Dad and he really didn't even ask for any shaved time.

Tough call. If you push that life on one of your sons (like, say, Greg DePalma), that makes you a lousy father in my book. If they're drawn to it on their own, and you throw your hands up and put them in your own crew just to protect them from the wolves (the Bascianos and LoCascios come to mind), then it's a different story. It's Chicago, so I have no frame of reference to comment. That's why I used Bronx guys as examples smile.

Oh, and when I say that pushing your sons into the life makes you a bad father, I'm talking about the American mob. Sicily and Italy are a different story all together. It's part of the cultural fabric over there. When your a male and born into the life over there, you honestly don't have much of a choice. In America 2014, you do.

Yea PB from what I can tell Frank Sr. pushed Jr. and Kurt into the life, it seems he had them collecting for him before they even graduated high school. Then Kurt didn't even testify against him but yet he had to deal with fake bombs on his steps that he thinks came from his own old man just lets you know how sick he was.

Even still Kurt showed up to court to let Frank Sr. know at sentencing how bad of a Dad he was and to get his shots in as well. So it does make you wonder how 2 of your sons turn on you like that you must have really done some bad shit to them.
