Al Capone is also the main reason why expiration dates were put on milk cartons/bottles, because his niece grew ill due to tainted milk.. The Capone family actually had a big hand in the dairy industry in the 1930's.

Yeap he was hated and loved by people he had soup lines set up to feed the hungry aswell. And like you said he had expiration dates put on milk bottles. He was in the Dairy business and the liquor business good business man giving the people what they want lol

I always remember the poor dog that was there during the massacre. His name was Highball and he belonged to John May the mob members mechanic who was also killed. It was his constant barking that brought neighbors to the gruesome scene. He was so traumatized they eventually had to put him down. Today would be a different story but being it was 1929...Sad.

Stephen Graham's portrayal of Al Capone in Boardwalk Empire is some of the best acting I've ever seen. That being said, much of what was shown in that show is dramatized with factual events. But showing Capones family life was a nice twist. It really gave you a better idea of what Capone really was. He wanted to create an empire. And he did it. And honestly, if you were just a regular "joe" and not a gangster, no one was afraid to walk the streets with Capone in charge. It was after his demise, that Chicago started falling apart. Capone took care of his people. How he made his money was one thing, but he did do a lot of good things that people forget about.

@TopSecretInformations Жыл бұрын

Excellent performance by Graham! Even his accent was impressive especially from an English actor.
