>no i cant do that shes still alive its not fair

>fanucci peacefully extorting the neighborhood without bloodshed?
>YEAH KILL 'EM

What did he mean by this?

Mobsters are hypocrites. That's one of the themes of every single mob show or movie ever made.

Don Fanucci was a gangster and thus fair game, the two guys that beat the dude's daughter up were civilians

>>213759780 (OP)
He would have done it if the guy came to him instead of going to the cops first

In the middle of a mob war, Vito sent his best soldier out to pretend to defect even though the guy could barely string a sentence together. He really wasn't that good at his job.

It's kind of wild that the american mob still exists today. Like, what's even the fucking point anymore?

He didn't come off as being so retarded in the book, but it's still to show that the Don is losing his touch and making mistakes. He should have sent someone else, everyone knew that Luca Brasi was 100% loyal to Corleone and the idea of him defecting was laughable

to make money, as always
what do you thing has changed?

wtf was his problem?

They might call themselves the mafia still but frankly almost everything they do is above the board or such a benign crime that nobody would consider them hardened criminals. RICO is a joke considering the goal is to bust some wops running books on the fucking super bowl.

I doubt the money they're making isn't worth it with all the surveillance and risks. Not like they're raking in cash like they used to.

*is worth it

I can't imagine they make a lot of money, it's probably more worthwhile for them to just work a regular 9-5 nowadays
