*Torrio* is such a legendary character, he understands the power of being underestimated and staying low-key. Doesnt show arrogance or boastfull behavior instead he plays weak and complains. Doesnt show his ambition but has plenty, kills his lifelong mentor to get rich in the bootlegging. Claims to want nothing to do with Greek town but happely takes over. *ALWAYS* being underestimated big Jim underestimated *Torrios* Ambition and gets killed other bosses ( *Nucky and A.R* for example ) underestimate him and he takes over chicago. He plays weak in his war for Greek town and his enemys happely believe it and get assassinated for it cause they underestimated him. *Nucky* later on underestimated *Torrio* believing him out of the game and retired altho *Torrio* distance himself from the failed assassination on *Nucky* while setting him up for the next one in the same breath meanwhile hes telling him to retire. *Morale of the story dont show urself, and use the power of people underestimating you.*

[@davidmellish3295]

Maybe in this but not according to the history books it wasn't. It was the northside gang in retaliation for Dean O Bannion getting whacked in his flower shop.Hymie Wiess went mad after the killing of his friend and witnesses statements from the time had him as one of the shooters. He had terminal cancer so he just didn't care and his mission in life was to kill Capone before the cancer got him. History also has the two who shot Torrio as Wiess and Bugs Moran from the northside gang and bug's gun run out of bullet as he put it to Johny's head then the driver honked the horn as people were coming. In this Torrio thinks Capone tried to kill him so he gave it all up to Al. He did do that but it wasn't actually Al who tried to kill him it was the Northside gang

You cannot allow family, relatives (totally different), nay sayers, people who act as a friend but are really foes and so on opinions about you or your thoughts about how they may feel effect you. You will miss out on a very prosperous and great life doing so. Be completely independent of other's opinions about your life. I've ran into old people also trying to give fake advice under the guise of them being old, wise and caring. I have ears like a hawk and overheard the man say, right as he though I was further enough not to be able to hear, "I told him that bs to fuck with him" with his old friend both laughing until I turned around.
