Why the fuck would anyone want to become a 'Made Man' if you have to get shot in the head?

Gang members are delusional retards who expose themselves to randomly getting killed one day just because they don't want to work a normal job.

It's a gamble. That's why he was transferred to las vegas. He couldn't be a made man.

>>211498803 (OP)
Its a test. A true full blooded Sicilian would have a skull thick enough to stop the bullet.

>OH N-
What was he gonna say?

>>211498803 (OP)
You're supposed to duck at the right time. If you successfully duck and dodge the bullet, you're embraced by the crew who say: "Ant'ny/Joey/Giuseppe/Sally etc., ya 'made' da right decision. Now yooz a 'made man'. See how dat woiks?"

>>211498803 (OP)
Relax it's just a water gun ya big baby.

Getting shot in the head is loads better than dying slowly of cancer in a hospital surrounded by impatient people wishing you'd die faster so they can move on, with your money.

>>211499334
You know what

>>211498971
You know what the mob always said, right? "The working man's a sucker." And it's more true today than it ever was.

By the end of the movie, every single one of them side from Jimmy and Henry was dead and by their "friends" hand. He said guys were whacking each other all the time and over trivial shit. It's ridiculous to think they weren't constantly looking over their shoulder and untrustworthy of everyone. Everyone's always smiles and friendly but they're constantly watching other guys get whacked and never thinking they're next? It's a wonder their organization functioned as long as it did. How could it carry on as if they had an infinite supply of guys when the only people they could count on had to be from the neighborhood, grown up together and such?

Because the younger generation of mobsters were getting hooked on drugs, it made them do stupid shit that ended up with them getting whacked. The old fashion Sicilian guys were extremely anti-drug and typically lived full lives if not prosecuted. Drugs crippled the Cosa Nostra before they got finished off with RICO prosecutions.

>ITALIAN mob
>most were jewish
lol lmao

>>211506992
it wasnt becuase of drugs, it was the FBI getting more sophisticated plus the younger gen of mobsters like gotti getting way too cocky and in the limelight

Live fast die hard.

>>211510620
you do remember the part where Tommy gets whacked for killing a made man right?

>>211510738
They literally say in the movie that alone didn’t get him killed. Jimmy took part in the murder and Henry lied to them about it and helped conceal it. They never received punishment for it.

>>211510620
being a made man doesnt mean you get to say the nigger word, they clipped him before he even had the chance to finish that word

>>211511347

Nobody knew anything with proof, they just knew Tommy had a fight with Bats the week he got out of prison, and then he disappeared. It's not a court of law, they don't care about reasonable doubt.

>>211511276
>>211511860
Irl the boss guy was fucking Henry's wife while he was in prison. Tommy tried to rape her so the boss guy told Billy's crew that Tommy killed him and gave the green light. Basically had another family take out a troublemaker who stepped on his toes.

who was in the wrong here?

>>211511860
They had “proof” enough to kill Tommy retard.

Almost everything in Goodfellas, Casino and The Sopranos was scribbed from this low budget movie Joe Pesci and Frank Vicent were in back in the 70s. It's really interesting how much stuff was taken from it.

I would take anything that Henry Hill said with a huge grain of salt, he was a compulsive liar and changed his stories constantly. Even the cops labelled Henry Hill as unreliable in the witness protection due to his lying.

It is unknown exactly what happened, theories are that Tommy either was killed by the Gambinos or possibly by Jimmy Burke himself. The new theory of Jimmy killing Tommy after Lufthansa heist is possible as Tommy was a loudmouth after taking coke, which made Jimmy paranoid of getting caught (Jimmy killed a whole bunch of people involved in the heist).

Several mobsters did hear Thomas Agro confess to killing Tommy, but this was never recorded so there is no definite proof.

>>211512422
No shit asshole. But they didn't know Henry/Tommy were involved. No point killing earners if they don't deserve it, plus Henry did time to protect the family so there's probably love there. A lesser theme of the film was that Henry/Jimmy were better gangsters than Tommy, they just had Irish blood so they couldn't get made.

>>211512731
almost everything Hill said was bullshit lol, I don't think he actually knew much and just told tales to save his ass

>>211498803 (OP)
when you join up to prove you're tough enough they let you choose between getting beaten up by everyone and not fighting back, having a knife thrown at you without flinching or getting shot in the back of the head.

Ashkenazim are ethnically 50% Italian. The reason given is Italian males would impregnate jewish girls being sold on the slave markets to sell the girl and a jewish man as a family pair. Typically to Tatars in Crimea or Ottomans in Trebizond.

>>211513669
Ashkenazim have Levantine paternal haplogroups so it's more likely Jewish men married local women from Southern Italy

Fun fact: The real Tommy, Tommy DeSimone (picrel) was a big fucking fella. Not the 5'4 or whatever fucking Joe Pesci is. The guy was like 6'0 I think and build pretty muscular.

The quote goes as follows:

"Thomas DeSimone served as the inspiration for “Tommy DeVito,” the Goodfellas character played by Joe Pesci in an Academy Award-winning performance. Unlike Pesci, however, DeSimone was an imposing man who stood 6’2″ and weighed 225 pounds."

And not only that, but Tommy was born to a pretty well-connected mob family from LA.

Also: "In the testimony used for the book Wiseguy, Henry Hill recalls that when he first met DeSimone, he was “a skinny kid who was wearing a wiseguy suit and a pencil mustache.”

Yeah Henry is full of fucking shit. He's a midget white-trash Jew Yorker Brooklyn old faggot who did interviews just to pay the bills because he was buck-brock after being a fucker and getting arrested for still doing crime while in WITSEC. Fucking mick-wop.

>tfw you realize Tommy was the real chad of the crew

>>211514179
but in Casino, they got it spot on

>>211498971
i remember watching some ex mafia youtuber who talkewd about how a guy got whacked because her didnt whack a guy for insulting his daughter. his mistake was asking permission to whack the guy. he was supposed to just go and do it even if its not allowed. because that was masculine.

>>211515487
sounds like bullshit

Why the fuck would anyone want to be a greasy wop?

they risk their freedom and life to earn as much as a high flying estate agent or a mid level lawyer lol. can't just put that money in the bank either.

>>211515796
>can't just put that money in the bank either
makes it even more ridiculous that they'd immediately run out and spend like crazy buying flashy things. You'd expect they'd have it drilled into them non-stop not to do things with money that draws attention

>>211498971
it made even less sense back in their glory days in the 50s-80s when your average joe janitor could afford a 3 bedroom penthouse in ny working part time

>have to kill someone to be one a "made man"
>Kill yourself
Does this loophole still work or did they patch it??

>>211512652
Gee Bill, two bags??

>>211498971
This.
They don't even make as much money.
>Be 18
>Live with parents
>Work a factory job for 1 year
>Have $40k in the bank
>Bank sucks your dick to give you a $200,000 house
But no. They gotta steal $500 of random shit every 2 weeks that it takes them 3 months to sell.
And 14 lesbians in your state senate say you can't defend yourself from them because you rightfully kill them when they break into your home.
