Deirdre Capone Interview

[@antoniofarinaccio541]

How can one raise people to love and respect others when you are denied to participate in the abundance of others? Example a rich north Italy and a poor south, a colony of the north.

[@durf2753]

Al had huge responsibility to provide for the whole family and did his best to do so. He meant well.

[@k.s783]

Really? So the men he had killed didn’t have their own families to support? Nothing can justify violence and murder, it doesn’t matter how big of a family you have to support. It’s not like he ordered murders once or twice, it was a pattern. Al Capone is responsible for at least 200 deaths.,

[@bjaquez6]

Deidre you are a charm and a blessing. Im a young, almost 61 yr old nana, (no one believes my age) and I'm old school and expect respect from my children and grandchildren. When I hear my kids say, what do you want to eat, OMG, I'm livid. I tell my kids, What? You do not ask a child what they want. You are the parent and you are responsible for your child's upbringing. They dont know what they want. We as parents have to lead by example. There will be plenty of time for them to make their own choices and mistakes in their lives when they turn 18 and leave home. We do not take them by the hand to make those mistakes. We guide them and let them fall and help them back up again and again but, until then be a good listener, no matter their age, a good supporter, and plain and simple, a good parent. We are not their friends. We are friendly and loving and understanding but, have confidence to stand firm in your beliefs and they will become confident believers in themselves to make sound choices. With each generation I believe we are to be better people, not lesser people. Prov. 22:6 "Train up a child in the way they should go and it will never leave them". Whatever our examples are, good or bad they are watching and they will do. Believe that. God bless all and your descendants. (Take a Peek in the Good Book and see what great examples there are that will be life changing.

[@timward3116]

Like so many raised in the Chicago area, I had read the books about Capone, seen the film portrayals, and was aware of the existence of organized crime and the significance of certain locations. My grandparents were all south-side Irish. In February of 1930, my grandfather was killed under somewhat suspicious circumstances in the railroad yard where he worked. Just a mile away from where my grandparents had a two-flat, the Capone family had a similar two flat. It was a time of ethnic communities, and a shared Catholicism did not necessarily mean that everyone got along. Immigrant communities did not necessarily embrace other immigrant communities. As time has passed, though, I think that we can all appreciate what prior generations went through in this country. I really like this Deidre Capone. She seems so sincere, so decent, so wonderful! And I have no doubt that she is speaking the truth as she understands it - and her understanding of "the truth" carries weight. God bless her. This was a fascinating interview. Though I am the grandchild of Irish immigrants who lived just a mile from the Capones - and I will always wonder about my grandfather's death - I wish Deidre the best in her mission to bring compassion to our understanding of history.

[@subboxjunkie8298]

Was there a correlation with Capone or his people and your grandfather? Beside living a mile away are there any stories if your grandfather and that family?

[@timward3116]

@@subboxjunkie8298 No direct connections between the two families that I know of. However, it was during Prohibition and my grandfather did work in a railroad yard where there might have been a lot of alcohol in crates. Maybe he stumbled upon something? Maybe he was involved in something not quite legal? Who knows?

[@timward3116]

@Síofra Loughlin-Bestawros That's really interesting! And Capone did marry a woman with an Irish sirname. The lines between "the Irish" and "the Italians" might not have been so clearly drawn.

My eldest great uncle drove Al Capone's funeral car. He's buried at our same family cemetery, St Adelbert's in Chicago. He was able to arrange a Catholic burial through Fr Gerald Fitzgerald, who's sister was Rose Fitzgerald Kennedy, married to Al's business partner (in crime) Joe Kennedy.

I have lived in Chicago my whole life and have seen a play in a theater that was based on the Al Capone and it was amazing. Ever since I have seen many good documentaries of Al Capone he did many things for his community like he is the one that started soup kitchens and feeding the homeless people and giving away free food and shoes and money. He didn’t seem like the bad gangster that they made him out to be . I find his live actions were good not all bad he was an interesting guy that lived his life with caring and loved given to people that didn’t have much.

[@robingagan6288]

If you listen to interviews of the kkk they talk about all the good things they do for the community. It's a facade

[@TodayFreedom]

Al Capone is linked to the brutal murders of an estimated 500+ people. Stop being silly. People were dumped on the side of roads with their throats cut open. He was a mass murdering thug.

[@k.s783]

Sorry but you aren’t considering the bigger picture. Many more people were hurt and suffered as a consequence of Al Capone’s criminal activities than those who were helped. Ask any serious historian and they’ll tell you that his charitable activities were there to manipulate people into thinking they were good guys. Soup kitchens were simply attempts at deflecting attention away from serious criminal activities. Some believe they served as fronts for drug dealing operations.

[@benjaminbelzer5693]

Thanks for this extraordinary interview. I love knowing the truth, and your individual character is evidence of what you are saying about Al. He has been turned upside down by the media.

[@k.s783]

“Truth” is a bit of a stretch, it’s more accurate to say that it’s a truth as Deidre sees it. Of course her relatives would have portrayed Al Capone as a better man than he really was. They are biased and motivated to clear their family name. It’s comical that she thinks the public should consider her book as some kind of objective account of reality or an ultimate truth. Her version of the truth doesn’t change the fact that Al Capone was responsible for over 200 murders and a lot of human suffering. Deidre is clearly in denial, believing that “no innocent people were hurt” is delusional. Capone’s network exploited poor workers, underaged girls were forced into prostitution and people lived in fear as a result of threats to themselves and their families. It’s obviously not fair that Deidre had to suffer bullying and social isolation as a result of her family ties. However, she would be better off owning the fact that Al Capone was a criminal who hurt a lot of innocent people and ruled Chicago through violence and intimidation tactics. There’s nothing honorable or exculpatory about that. Unlike Deidre’s claims to the contrary, there’s objective evidence (pictures, police reports, witnesses) proving much of the criminal activity he and his network were responsible for. It’s ridiculous to suggest that there’s an alternative truth out there and that the political and media establishment somehow came together & conspired against the Capone family. It’s possible that some facts have become muddled and convoluted through the years. The media can surely twist stories, lie by omission etc. However, this doesn’t change the bottom line. Al Capone may have been a good family man and manipulated his public image by occasional charitable acts - that doesn’t change the fact that he was also cold blooded criminal who lived a comfortable lifestyle at the expense of innocent & powerless people that his network exploited and abused.

My grandmother told a story about Capone, I used to think it was very exciting, she saved one of his guys who was being chased by the police. My grandmother, was in the yard hanging clothes and hid the man from them under a porch. They later were visited by Capone who offered them money which they didn't except. He did take them out to an expensive restaurant, which was very nice. There is mystery, after that grandpa sent grandma home, then joined her 6 months later. They left everything behind. Also we really don't know what grandpas real name was, he claimed he was an orphan. My grandmother always said that he looked just like the person who played him on the untouchables.

My mother who was born in 1922 approximately. One time she went to visit a school friend after school . They lived in Cicero, ill. Upon entering a heavily fortified door, there were 8 men in coats and ties sitting around the dining room table at 3:00 in the afternoon. She thought nothing of it until years later when she was much older. There was a house in the neighborhood , two story, which was gutted and used to make liquor. Later a person at work bought a home in Cicero and later discovered the outside walls were extra thick, 3 feet to be exact. I am happy you thought much of your family, but you were shielded from the life. They never brought "work" home so you would not know. People from Chicago had no fear living in the same neighborhood as the gang chiefs because nothing ever happened there with the exception of the end of Sam Giancanna.

Thanks for sharing. There's always page 2 to everything. History isn't always what is written; somebody said the winners are the ones who get to write what's in the history books. I worked with an Italian gentleman in California, and one day while we were talking, he asked me if I knew the meaning of WOP? I had only heard it in reference to Italian immigrants, which I acknowledged. He told me at the time so many Italians trying to escape the conditions that many did not have time or the means to acquire "proper papers" to immigrate, and the immigration officers got tired of saying "Without papers", hence shortening the phrase to "WOP".

My Grandfather was buried in Chicago at the same time in the same cemetery in the same Catholic section but my Grandfather had a modest plot and headstone while Al Capone was buried on the rich side of the Catholic section. It was a cold January day in 1947. My Father told me that it seemed like every limo filled with flowers from Chicago was there. How ironic..

huh? A husband and father is supposed to love and provide for his family. And most do -- without also being a murderer.

[@SammyTheBullFuck]

​​@@anotherjoshuaThe government murders people all the time, much much more than Al Capone, yet the public votes for these people and doesn't even bat an eye at it. Matter of fact, the public makes excuses for them. People like Al Capone knew this fact and they weren't gonna be suckers. Now look at 2023, the government has only gotten worse, more powerful and has more control over the publics lives. Al Capone was an original rebel and he wasn't going to obey an unjust law like prohibition. The more society as a whole acts submissive, the worse the government will become. When things get so bad for the public, it will be people like Al Capone who will be their only salvation.

[@Marathonracer]

bchlovr You're the one who needs to grow up and get a real education, because Deirdre Capone is lying about the very well documented actual FACTS about Al Capone, for the sole purpose of making herself and her family sound like mistreated saints. His organically caused dementia was the result of advanced syphilis, which eventually killed him, by causing a stroke and his death by heart failure, and not government poisoning with mercury, which is a flatout lie and laughably absurd. She lies about the "Men of that era" believing in "omerta". No, ,they most certainly did NOT , unless they were involved in the Italian-American organized crime, like Capone's forerunner of the "Chicago Outfit", or the later New York five mafia families. "Omerta" is the mafia term for "Code of silence". and decent Italian- Americans never used that term nor did they live by it - they had no reason to. Apparently, Capone's family did. Grow up !
