      You're right. The time I was active reppin the GD's I created my own ways running my click and my mentality was similar to the mobs ways. We wouldn't always pull up on rivals. I would sit down with high ranking rivals and earn together. The police went easy on us when we were caught because they watched me and new what I was doing.

    The Mafia crime family's know how to lead. With the Aryan's, everything has to be beef, everybody has to be on their toes. The Aryan Brotherhood think it's them against all the various other gangs, while the Italian mafia realizes every prisoner is there together, and the real enemy is the system.

    I like the Italians, as an Irishman who left Ireland in 1988 and came to the U,S, i found them honourable men who i could trust. I think they understood that Irish Republicans were no threat to them and i have fond memorys and i remember they were always smiling at the situation we all found ourselves in. Although we disliked criminals, i had respect for the men i came across.

      It’s normal in the Italian-American Cosa Nostra that more junior guys are assigned to run errands for and look after more senior guys. It is not considered a sign of disrespect though - it is a normal part of working your way up the ranks. If anything, it means you get close to the captain or boss, so it can actually mean you gain power. You see it in mob movies all the time. It’s also how it worked in medieval European nobility - if a lord could get himself into the position that he was running errands for the king, he was doing pretty well. Good things would follow.
