Al Capone was one the world's most famous men.....I always as a youngster looked up to him and respected him and used him as role model he was truly a real man and will always be one the world's bigest heros Nico.............

@@nickievella4873 He WAS indeed, fascinating, but maybe to look up to him and make him more than he was is kind of a stretch...🤨

love that quote

@Colleen yeah i like that quote also! good words

He was known to be kind and generous and help people in need. Even in "business", he was not as vicious as other gangsters; he tried to call a truce with the his main rival Earl "Hymie" Weiss -- the leader of the North Side gang, and only man Capone was said to fear. Hymie's best friend Dean O'Banion had been killed by Capone's men, and Hymie demanded that Capone hand the men who did it over to be killed. Capone's response was, "I wouldn't do that to a yellow dog!" and the truce was off. There's a movie about him coming out starring Tom Hardy as Capone, concentrating on his later years when his brain was affected by advanced syphillis.

@@kck9742 saw that movie it was total garbage

A true Capricorn

Thats how it works with normal people..

@@georgemckenzie181 several people I know that have been to jail are super respectful people. I wonder if that's consequence of being around nothing but killers.

@@echo5226 exactly.. They aren't respectful to the people they kill either.. but yeah, they know how they themselves are with anyone who dosrespects them, so they know to be respectful, so as to not be killed themselves.. That's all it is..

@@georgemckenzie181 exactly... They're just low life murderers, and need praying for, not praising... I really can't empathise with anyone who looks up to these types of people, gangsters.. I used to look up to them, and then I grew up..

@@samnix5755 my buddies are not killers. They just made some dumb choices when they were younger. I don't think you'll get killed but for sure you'll cause problems for yourself for not being good at respecting people. But that's a good way to look at things. Respect everybody cause you never know who you are messing with. If you respect even the whimpiest looking guy you'll never have problems with anybody.

He also owned a green 1928 Cadillac, bullet-proofed w/2' thick armor, to the point where the car weighed in at 3 tons.

Now I kno they can smell spoil milk

He made them an offer they couldn't refuse.

Capone said that if I knew about the milk monopoly I would never got into the boozed business.

It's funny how Al said that he didn't even know what street Canada was on but he spent plenty of time in Windsor. I know this bcuz my great aunts husband was with and they ran booze across the Detroit River from Windsor. There are still some buildings around where The Rum Runner's stored their booze and Capone had a monopoly on it

Here goes my respect and admiration .you have to be an excellent human been...I like your comments and people like you

Quote of him: now I know why tigers eat their young.

@@johndillinger3072 wrong.animals teach humans how to raise a family .the by nature all animals are excellent parents they don't eat the their siblings

🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

Did she have a choice back then?

And those who got in his way were often found dead often for no logical reason.

Ain't that what good wives supposed to do

​@@danielhagan921 No logical reason?? You just stated the reason: he got in Capone's way! 🙄

@@elaineewalt8137 Not sure I follow. Sounds like you speak of the Torrio near-killing. Hard for me to believe Capone would do that. Torrio too important a brain to have around for help and Al doing so well anyway. I think the clumsy Irish did it (I'm Irish). They were never top-rate mobsters. In the Genovese case, Vito still gave some credence to "Boss of Bosses", a really dumb idea in NYC. After Costello retired Vito held that status for a year or two before Gambino and another boss framed him in drug-trafficking. Yes, Gambino and Joe Batters, the two most successful of all mobsters.

Thank you!

You're grandfather knew al capone???? Omg

@@immalak5851 yes, my grandfather. Knew Al Capone. I am in my seventies and my grandfather was 50 when I was born he was born in 1900 and he was in his twenties when he knew Al Capone.

How many people did Al Capone have killed?

@@johnmoreno6374 I have no idea how many people he (Al Capone) killed...but I do know he did a lot of good deeds for people too!

@@joanneripley2256 Good deeds come from a sincerely moral.person, who fears Almighty God:..all other favors are only politics.

please tell me you mean deep pockets for gs cookies, please tell me you mean for COOKIES

He didn't move to Palm Island until he got out of prison and was so heavily affected by neurosyphilis he was a mere shell of a man? His last year spent in jail, was in the jail hospital... he was so debilitated by it ...his wife plead for his release due to his degeneration. His paresis was so bad, and Capone so badly brain damaged by this stage. ..even new treatment available could not reverse the damage. I would say your Mom only ever met the quiet, bran damaged Capone who lived in isolation in Florida until his death.

@@livalil He means, he liked sticking his hand in the Girl Scouts cookie jar.

Yes good point!....and it's much more 'gangsterish' than snorky :)

Same thing with Benjamin "Bugsy" Siegel (who, it must be said, was smoking hot). He got his moniker due to his hair-trigger temper... he would "go bugs." But he HATED that nickname, and if you were smart you didn't address him that way. One of his quotes was, "My friends call me Ben. Strangers call me Mr. Siegel. And people I don't like call me Bugsy, but never to my face."

Calvin H So does “ Creepy Joe” Biden

@@kck9742 That's a great quote...

Caligula hated his nickname as well.

I find him being portrayed more of a Robin Hood in this thread. He was a gangster and a murderer? Yes, he opened soup kitchens as he loved the adoration of the people at the time. He was still a disgraceful human being. He had people...sometimes lowly shopkeepers, murdered without a blink of the eye.

You can say the same about every outlaw from Jessie James to John Gotti .it just depends on your perspective

They couldn't get him on anything else. The only man Capone was said to fear was Hymie Weiss, the leader of the North Side gang.

yep ,the biggest mafia orginization took down the mom and pop mafia orginization ,the irs is the biggest mafia orginization in the us ,it robs everyone each year under the threat of voilance ,and capones blood is on the us government,, prohibition was the problem al capone was the sympthem

Well someone pays attention and I thank you Captain Obvious

FBI has joined the chat.

@@silence-humility-calmness And how would you pay for the government? Voluntary donations? Or do you just think we don't need one? The IRS enforces laws passed by a Congress that was elected by the people. Therefore American citizens are the bosses of "the biggest mafia organization in the us" (sic). And learn how to write "U.S."

America was in much better shape when Al Capone was in power than today with that moron Jerome Powell trying to bankrupt everyone with inflation and zero interest rates and put them into tents on the street with his monetary policies. Pensioners and retirees will starve to death and die.

you are kidding

My father and FDR used to drink tea on Sundays. He told me it was him who convinced president to use a wheelchair.

@@Muhammad_Al-Prawik that's interesting. Tell us more

@@thenord211 Many people would disagree with you

Yes, same here. And I also love the hats. I think that style. Is very slick and almost timeless.

I LOVE the automobiles.

Better than that saggy pants bullshit today though I do get teased by my peeps when I dress in trenchcoat & slick back hair. They call me "Donny" 🤭

They knew how to dress in those days.

Have you seen “peaky blinders”? Great show or “the Sopranos”

Yep. 4am. Can't sleep. This is life now..

Jam the whole crap up your ass pandemic and you're comments

I watching before go work😀

Never heard a bad thing about your grandpa or Mr. Capone?

@mrbėast No, our D-Day soldiers are around 100 years old now. To build a still or brewery for Capone would make the builder at least 120 -125 years old unless he was just a laborer. Remember that Capone's time in Chi Town was about 1920-1932. Perhaps Capone's acquaintance was a generation earlier. Capone went to jail when he was only 33 y/o.

@mrbėast And...🤔

You're Granpa probably buit a helluva still! 😂💯👍

Maybe you never heard a bad word ...because your Grandpa was involved in illegal activity run by another person in illegal activity who was paying him???

thats a two gun crowley quote i’m pretty sure

@@Autospa_Steve whoever he is, i am not going to be awarded with billions of dollars. 🙏🙏🙏

The St. Valentine's Day Massacre negates everything you said about Capone. BTW, one of the men slaughtered was an optometrist who was curious about, and befriended gangsters, though he was not one himself.

Charity

You are right about that. Before I knew who he was; I could have sworn that he was really Italian.

what about lucky luciano?

they made him a criminal

Amazing to hear from a relative of the Fischetti brothers. I always wondered how the power transitioned from Capone to his power - descendants. Frank Nitti was more of a myth created by television. By what you say, Rocco, obviously high up (took Sinatra to two Havana conferences), but power ended up with Ricca and Accardo, who wanted a far lower profile than Capone. That made them among the most successful of all US mobsters. Good thing your close ancestors opted to stay out of that "profession" making it more likely you'd be here today. It's a dangerous business on the best day.

People live there. It's in a wealthier neighborhood, and maintained.

When you are hunted by law you better be good to people.Its the law of the underworld.

What about the dozen and dozens of man he murdered what you think they family think about it

And you know who else is Jeff Bezos And how many people did help feed during the pandemic🤔🤔🤔 And Al is the bad guy🥴

@@davidbarton1806 I bet you don't say that about crack dealers who try to feed their family

@@montbrink4700 selling someone beer is a little different then Crack my statement was more about what a crook and fraud Bezos is. but I will say that Crack dealers are more honest then that evil p.o.s!

I wa with a lot of hookers...never got a damn thing....

waxey gordon

Glorified crews, don’t prick fingers, no sword or guns on the table and none of them have done 20 f**king years in the can!

Doesn’t mean shit, just a bunch of white people excusing their historical penchant for violence and making exceptions for themselves while whitewashing their evil history per usual.

All of the above, agreed, of course. Not a rule model, for sure.

Cause he believed in? You make him sound like a hero and he was anything else.

​@@gennymikel4296 In some ways, he was. Aside from taking some lives, he may have saved many more by implementing dates on milk cartons.

Actually, it was a Godsend for his underlings, they got the Outfit up and running into a giant political machine, hence, The Outfit.

A study was done and they found a disproportionate amount of psychopathic personality type in top business men. However, they were all front. When it came to productivity and company success, they didn't deliver. It was all about them.

I would say most are Sociopaths, its a requirement of the job and if they aren't they quickly become so. Maybe a minority are actual psychopaths. Choleric personalities all.

@@TM-fu2we No, what they found was certain traits that correlate with antisocial personality disorder, but they did not say any of these businessmen were sociopaths (or 'psychopaths'). It is inconceivable that anyone can be successful at any career with this type of disorder. That goes against the very nature of what the disorder is and why it's significant.

@@themaskedman221 Yes, they would rate high on the psychopathy scale i.e. have more psychopathic personality traits than the average. Psychologists tend to measure personality as a a spectrum and it is very difficult to draw a line between simply having traits and tipping over into diagnosis in which case you would be classified as mentally ill. If you are talking about the violent type then, no, it's unlikely they would go under the radar for long but some do, particularly women, as they may not be necessarily physically violent but verbally threatening and manipulative. Bear in mind also, one of the symptoms of sociopathy is the ability to go under the radar and live a complete lie. Deception is their thing and they are very good at it.

@@TM-fu2we Psychopathy isn't even recognized as a personality disorder by psychologists. It's just something that's speculated to exist on the extreme end of the anti-social personality disorder (ASPD) spectrum. Think of it as the most extreme manifestation of antisocial personality traits. Like most people who have no formal psychological training, you don't seem to understand the difference between research psychology and what's actually practiced in clinical settings. In research psychology there is debate as to whether a "high-functioning sociopath" (a successful person with ASPD) can exist. Some researchers say it's plausible or even likely; most psychologists will tell you this is impossible. Either way, no successful businessman has ever been formally diagnosed with ASPD. "Bear in mind also, one of the symptoms of sociopathy is the ability to go under the radar and live a complete lie." When some pop-psychologist journalist publishes an article that says "corporate CEOs share x number of personality traits with psychopaths" (and never, ever the most crucial behavioral traits that define the disorder), it should be viewed more as entertainment rather than something you should be using to educate yourself. The most salient traits of ASPD are impulsivity, inability to plan ahead, recklessness and inability to conform to social norms (hence 'antisocial'). And these behaviors have to be so persistent in an individual that they cause serious functional impairment in order to classify someone as having a 'disorder'. Not even Bernie Madoff was diagnosed with ASPD. /watch?v=GJPe6Yk5rGg Are you seriously suggesting that the CEO of Exxon-Mobile or McDonald's is a 'psychopath"? Okay, guy, you believe that.

Glad you enjoyed it!

@Julie Anne Olson What is digital code? 🤔

'SO WHAT'!!!! WHAT ARE YOURS!??,!!!???

And Al Capone was still better than any of them.

Yeah..there’s still plenty of them in Chicago too

You are entitled to your opinion. The American dream os not promised to anyone. Believe it or not there are a lot of criminals that achieve the American dream by committing crimes look at your history. The Kennedy family for one .

Joseph Medeiros or the Mellon family but like JFK they inherited respectability from their criminal parents and grand parents, they weren’t actually street people themselves. It’s not my history and I’m aware it’s only the pursuit that is guaranteed, not actual happiness. Congrats on the patronising, the classes are really paying off for you

Joseph Medeiros jeez, patronise much? As we all know it the pursuit that’s guaranteed and not the happiness. Yeah we all know Joe Kennedy was in the Molly McGuires and a bootlegger. Same as the Mellon family where opium traders and obviously you have the Bush and Clinton crime families nowadays: Yawn

The Clintons , Obamas , Pelosi and others have . Just an observation

Adorable Deplorable all college educated, not street people

That happens to be true. He pushed hard for it after his young daughter got severally ill drinking soured milk.

Also drive bys

Thank you! Cheers!

@@PeopleProfiles Cheers to you as well!

You have to do good before you do evil otherwise nobody is going to like you. Adolf Hitler , and Joseph Stalin did the same thing. Hitler brought Germany out of the depression and Stalin made Russia an industrial power. That's the way it works

@@robertwhiteside7252 Robert, you're spot on.

@@robertwhiteside7252 What a warped view!

From wikipeadia, he opened the soup kitchen after the Valentine's Day Massacre 1929 due to a decline in his preceived popularity. He was trying to regain some credibility as it had become popular thinking in Chicago that Mr. Clapone was behine the murders.

He mostly kill fellow mobs. So the devil kills other devil.

rafani fischer Ness did nothing really to damage Capone except bust a couple of breweries it was frank Wilson the tax man who got Capone locked up Ness was just a piss head himself

I always think of Kevin Costner lol

Yep

Robert Stack ,was awesome,in Airplane movie

The Unfuckables

That's a really interesting anecdote, thanks for that...

@@jacey1963 A lot of people in Chicago had relatives who worked in or for Capone's crime organization.

Capone had way more integrity than the clowns in DC. Not even close.

AL CAPONE HAD A MURDEROUS STARE
