Leave the Mafia Alone

(Special from The Roman Nose News Service – April 25, 2015
We are so sick and tired of watching and listening while everyone bad-mouths the Mafia. If it isn’t the feds it’s the Vatican. If it isn’t the Vatican it’s the other syndicates. Who do these people think they are fooling here? They are only jealous. With the blanket criticism they show their cards too early. They haven’t got the guts to directly criticize to the Cosa Nostra Face, the Black Hand or any other part of that anatomy.
The Mafia is a self-governing interest that always pays its bill and always collects its debts. For crying out loud that’s better than the majority of Americans and their governments too.
How many Mafia types do you see in Welfare lines? How many are on relief? None because they help their own! Maybe the feds could take a lesson (fiscal since they already employ similar tactics).
Without this wide-ranging organization who would maintain the vending machines and pool tables? Who would have invented cement overshoes? Who would decide who would sleep with the fish?
Sure they’re making immoral profits on drugs, extortion and prostitution but c’mon…someone else would do it if they stopped. Think of roses in the lapel. Think of violin cases. Think of black limos with dons and bodyguards. Ain’t it part of Americana?
Next time someone knocks the Mafia, take another look and maybe give that old time organization a fair shake or at least the benefit of the doubt.
