And no, I don't think Capone was smart. Neither does Lucky Luciano in his amazing memoirs. Nor does Joe Bonnano or any of the original mobsters. Capone was an idiot with a lot of muscle. Unless you're claiming that "to make money you have to be smart", then you don't have a leg to stand on. Carry on with the misdirections  |
I'd like to point out you didn't come up with a single fact or a lucid opinion other than an opinion of what you say someone else held on the matter. Bang up critical thinking. You're gonna do great in law school. I hope mom and dad don't mind you blowing the dough.
Let me enlighten you...
I said drug dealers. I said bootleggers. I didn't say anything about narcotics. Alcohol is a drug, period. Alcohol was an illegal drug during the 20th century. That's a fact as well. Try to keep up son.
Bonnano and Luciano were his rivals, not his pals. Of course they'd have as much to gain by calling him smart as you would calling anyone smart. Their egos, and yours, couldn't take it.
Capone built an empire that ran long after he died. Furthermore, after YEARS of running it and the full weight of the US government with limitless resources to nab him pursuing him the most they could come up with was tax evasion. He wasn't prosecuted for a single criminal act.
As for Kennedy, all he did was one up Capone by not only NOT getting caught for anything, but getting his son elected President and another nearly so. Not bad for a stupid bootlegger.
