This one is full of sh*t. Beginning with Quebec which was chosen because the provincial government, the courts, the police and society in general was, and is, corrupt at every level. Bonnano sent Galante north to exploit that criminal sociopathy. Carlo Tresca was an effective critic of Mussolini. Vito Genovese was a huge friend of El Duce and had Tresca killed as a favour. It shouldn't surprise anyone the Mafia are traitors to their very core. The FBI had nothing to do with drug investigations. I noticed the doc got in a brief pitch for the FBI right off the top, then back tracked. It was the Federal Bureau of Narcotics (FBN), now the DRUG Enforcement Agency (DEA), that tracked Galante and compiled the best intelligence on the Mafia. The FBN offered Hoover their "Black Book" on the Mafia and were refused. Hoover is, and will always be an assh*le.

[@Mhel2023]

I was 12 years old when Galante was gunned down. The pictures of Galante's dead body were crisp, up close and personally plastered on the front page of the NY Post and NY Daily News for days. My stepfather worked for the TA and would bring the paper home after work. Those images haunted me all summer and I couldn't sleep for weeks, thinking of those newspapers stacked neatly underneath the planter in the dining room, waiting to get me if I dared go downstairs in the middle of the night. Edit: I just Googled the pics and they're there. But wait, I'm 59 now, I should be able to sleep, right? .....ughh😩

If you were 12 when he was gunned in 1979 you wouldn't be 59 you would be 57.

[@MrAlbalto]

I was 20 waaay down in Baltimore and it was all over the papers here. Now I remember it being hot because I would visit my three uncles in NY.

[@stevenstanley2369]

Galante was gunned down in a cafe and police photos of the murder scene showed him bleeding with a cigar still clinched in his mouth.(the photo is blurry here). He sold narcotics contrary to the 5 Families edict of No Narcotics Dealing. See Selwyn Raab, "Five Families". The families basically closed their eyes to drug trafficking despite the Sicilians and Corsicans making deals with US mafiosa due to the billions in profits it made their organizations. In the 80's Columbian cartels moved in and took over narcotics trade.

[@_zanofc_]

The reason american mob banned drugs was the time it brings.. While it true it made billions for some but it also means life sentence and life sentences create more rats.. If a mobster gets 5-10 years it basically nothing, he'll do his time and come back home like a hero but its different story when somebody is facing life in prison, a lot of guys would rat..

[@jesussavesnyc]

In 1979 I was a 5 year old kid living in Bushwick Brooklyn yet on the dark side of Bushwick. Troutman & Knickerbocker where Carmine Galante was shot at is the light side of Bushwick. Even dough we was many blocks from where carmine galante was killed at, I can remember clearly my parents talking about it…I went there the other day where Carmine got shot at & the store still remains closed till this day

[@LukaDonesnitch]

I lived on Bushwick Avenue, but this was years after the Galante thing, my family still owns a brownstone on that block not too many still do.

Well then your judgement skills are an embarrassment, bud. Joe Coffey is a melodramatic hypocrite with the IQ of a rusted f-ing tire iron. He's a cartoonish joke who's methods and character are a stain on the reputation of deserving colleagues.

[@stevenstanley2369]

This documentary is highly correct historically.

[@maury0009]

Carmine Galante's rise and fall is a chilling reminder of the poison that ambition can become when untethered from morality. His story reads like a modern Shakespearean tragedy - a man of ruthless cunning who clawed his way to the top, only to be betrayed by the very forces he set in motion. The image of Galante, cigar still clenched between his teeth as he lay slain, is a haunting metaphor for the fleeting nature of power built on fear and greed. What strikes me most is the devastating human cost of Galante's empire. Each kilo of heroin represented countless shattered lives, families torn apart, and communities ravaged. Yet in his pursuit of wealth and control, Galante saw only dollar signs and opportunities for dominance. His legacy points to a profound truth: true power lies not in domination, but in our capacity for compassion and our courage to choose a path of integrity, even when it's the harder road.

[@MichaelN-ji3gr]

[@maury0009]
