Larry Mazza on Him & Grim Reaper Doing Over 20 Mafia Hits (Full Interview)

Larry Mazza came through for his first-ever VladTV interview where he detailed how he got involved and later joined the Colombo crime family after meeting Gregory Scarpa, known as the "Grim Reaper" in the mob. During the conversation, Larry shared stories of hunting down enemies with Greg during the Colombo family war, including Larry taking down his personal enemy, Nicky Black. Larry also shared the moment when he realized Greg Scarpa was an informant, and deciding to cooperate with the feds for information against Scarpa. Larry went on to explain that he feared the FBI more than the mob after leaving prison, and he detailed working on and appearing in "The Irishman" alongside Robert DeNiro. To hear more, including his reaction to VladTV guests calling the film "inaccurate," hit the above clip.

[@UnityAgainstJewishEvil]

@@grinchgouda5534 Assuming Vlad does it intentionally, and he’s really just shamelessly steering the interview back in his desired direction, it doesn’t change the fact that many people wish he would stop using the “strategies” he uses to ignore other interesting places the interview could go. I agree with them too, because he could honestly make everyone happy by addressing different aspects of the subject and their story. When the opportunity presents itself, he could spend a moment exploring something “deeper” about where the interview goes, then easily go back to his desired direction without even losing the opportunity to do so. Ironically, if he’s such a great interviewer, he’d immediately recognize like I did, that Larry is excited to share everything about his story, I mean he makes it so obvious. So if he had noticed that he would’ve been able to walk away from this interview with WAY MORE parts to then turn into interesting clips for KZbin, which he always wants to do because it gets him more views, and more money. So while you may be right, there’s still more to suggest Vlad just isn’t very good, otherwise he wouldn’t be blowing away this opportunity to make even more money, which is always his #1 priority. Like someone already said, he’s successful because of the people he gets to talk to in the first place. If there’s one thing you can say about Vlad, he’s very resourceful and has a talent for getting these people to talk in the first place.

The first time I've ever heard someone from the inside talk of how it really was to be a killer.

[@markpolo7374]

I actually understand that part because if someone's trying to hit me I'm going to try to hit them first before they can even get close to me so yeah I agree call me a Hitman also because I would have killed all those guys first before they even thought about getting close to killing me just my opinion of course.

[@mannyruiz1954]

That's pretty consistent with all these guys in that life. They know they could get killed on any given day. The capos tell you to do something you do it, or pay the price.

[@noneofyourbusiness150]

For whatever reason there are so many sub cultures. Larry was draw to this one. Personally, my parents were so screwed up, screwed up behavior seemed normal enough to me. It took me a very long time to understand the people I was involved with at one time were not nice people at all. At the time it all just seemed so normal. It often seems to work that way. Plus I was not exactly a poster boy for what every kid should be myself. I had a major temper. That major temper doesn't fit in a lot of places. You go to a group of people where you fit in. It's just the way it works. But I was lucky and things eventually worked out for me.

You obviously didn't pay close attention. He didn't say he had PTSD from killing people and he killed people before the war.
