    I thank you for doing things like this. It not only gives an interesting view on the reality of how these organizations/families/clubs did things vs. Hollywood portrayal, but also give those of us with indirect ties a chance to hear stories that never got shared. A good friend of mine (like a brother to me) belonged to the Hell's Angels for a long time. He's unfortunately gone now, but there were curious questions I just didn't dare ask (no matter how many times he'd told me it was ok to do so). I used the advice my grandfather gave me in reference to soldiers who had seen combat: "don't ever ask. Let them TELL you when they're ready to". My friend told me he liked the sound of that and said it was good advice.

      @dougadoo1976able Italian mafia families kept the pedos, n violent gangsters out of the neighborhoods. They also kept an eye on the drug dealers, even if they did have hands in their pockets. However, once the mafia moved out, every two bit dealer n gang member came in with the cartels n neighborhoods went to shit.

    Michael, they learned the RICO act from Italy. In Italy if someone is brought in for questioning and they drop a name, law enforcement goes after that person and they can hold them indefinitely just because someone else said their name. This is how they broke up La Cosa Nostra in Sicily. This of course left a vacuum that Camorra and N'Drangheta filled the space. The structure of Camorra and N'Drangheta are totally different than La Cosa Nostra so it has been a lot harder to get to them with the same tactics. Being from Naples I know how the Camorra works very well. It is like a hydra, if you cut off 1 head, 2 more grow out of it. I lived in San Diego for 7 years and met a few 1%ers there. They are great guys. Remind me of Navy SEALs. The nicest guys with the capacity to do bad things. Love these conversations. Thanks for sharing and I hope all is well! God Bless!

    Had heard your name at numberous places during my life, but didnt know you had youtube and did so much work for peoples as you do.. I have been looking through I think between 15-20 videos in the last week.. Its a so big inspiration to hear about your life which made me even look at some mafia movies/other type of series that you recommended just because you really hooked me and Im so happy for you to be alive not only in the flesh but in the spirit as well. God bless you brother. The best thing that can happen is when you hear about peoples turning their life around and especially as a fellow christian it is even more motivating when the reason is a true geniune faith. I dont care what peoples say, I know I believe, you know you believe and I know you believe as I can see it in your eyes, actions and way of life.. actions speak louder than words any day. Keep going strong and it would be a dream coming true for me to meet you in person, but I know that would not happen so sending you this message with gratitude for what you do I guess is good enough. All blessings and strength your way
