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.
