--------
In this clip, former mobster turned actor, Michael Franzese addresses allegations made by Sammy The Bull, that he was only "made" because of his father's stature in the Italian mob. To that, Franzese confirmed the notion before adding more context and explaining that nepotism is just as common within the mob as it is in Hollywood. From there, the 71-year-old talks about the two-year waiting period that he had to endure after he was proposed and the tests that he had to complete in order to earn respect from the mob. Moving along, Franzese talks about the secretive nature of murders by the mob, the way they are ordered, the way in which they must be carried out, and the consequences that one must face if he dares to refuse the order.

[@CapAnson12345]

Michael was a captain in one of the five families during the most violent and chaotic time in mob history. Obviously he's done work. But the moment he says "Ok yes.. there was this one guy I had to kill back in the 70s.. he owed Persico some money and blah blah blah.." All the FBI has to do is sift through their unsolved case file.. and oh look.. Johnny "Big Nose" Lasagna went missing in 1977 and hmm, informants say he owed Persico money.. and next thing you know Michael is back in prison for life. So you just have to read between the lines.

I think a lot of people overlook the mind-state of someone who has been given an order. They WANT to be a part of that life. They WANT to show the bosses that they are capable. So they WANT to perform, sometimes regardless of the task given. I can only assume it’s similar to an army recruit. He gets deployed and believes that the enemy is a detriment to their country and their people.

[@EM-ve9bh]

Yeah this is what I think is easy to overlook. A lot of times I see people ask how these guys can be such stone cold killers. The more of these mob interviews I see, the more it sounds like a lot of them look at it like the military. They follow orders. They’re protecting that fraternity and that life. Obviously there are guys like demeo who really loved killing. In an interview with jimmy the weasel he talks about how all the guys he killed were scumbags and killers themselves. Not excusing murder, but I can see their mindset when they’re ordered to do a hit.

[@dl30wpb]

Most monsters are cowards. I knew retired cops from NYC that were involved with mass arrests when the RICO law was enacted. They said most of them cried like babies when they were arrested. Now there are the stone cold types but they are few and far between.

These questions about "doing work" are always frustrating to me. There can be several different kinds of scenarios where a hit can be ordered. This thing about "what if he's just an associate, can he refuse the order?" is just missing the point. These guys generally get into the life to become made guys. They know that it almost always includes "doing work". These aren't the type of guys who get sensitive about that kind of order.

[@capo-amg6755]

[@chaddsteinberg3758]

Not entirely...Michael didn’t get in for himself he got in to help his father ought of prison and take care of his fathers business while he was inside. Quiet a few guys are highly pressured to get in the life by uncles and fathers. They pick you more then you decide to pick them. They know you from the neighborhood. There’s a lot of young guys who didn’t wanna get there hands dirty and there known. One guy even killed himself from all the pressure to join. Now street guys, wise guys, and even rich fellas have introduced themselves from outside the neighborhood as a hang around with intent to get made or atleast in the life for the benefits. They know who’s “capable”. Everyone sorta has a role. There’s drivers, collectors, schemers, bruisers, and hitters. You become valuable in the life when you’ve got something to offer.

[@Gaboxxy96]

Bro we get that, the thing is that many times they may be asked to kill someone close to them. We all know made men were in the life for good, they made an oath and it was against the rules to get out at that point, but that wasn't the case with associates and recruits. Asking if a recruit could refuse a hit and get away with it is a legit question.

[@anthonysaponaro6318]

Man Vlad ! you're droppin some great stuff today! A determination was made by the bosses at the end of the day case fuckin closed. He was proposed by his dad, his dad obviously had the highest respect from his bosses as well as their trust . If the bosses thought for a single second this proposed man was not going to do his/this/the job he's ordered or produce for the family or earned it ? I assure you , no matter how much the bosses loved , trusted and respected his dad they would not even considered it for a single second BECAUSE theyre obviously very aware the books have not been opened in 20 years. . . .think about it logically. You bet your ass he's earned it. The last thing the bosses want is rife within the ranks. That gets things all convoluted, these are not some dumb old men, they seen it all before, they know what happens and what was going to happen, they must have thought /weighed their decision carefully and decided the man was worth the risk . Obviously !

[@anthonysaponaro6318]

Not that it matters but this guy never killed a guy. I know he'd get upset if someone said this, I kinda think it's a good thing.

[@historyiwitness5915]

He knows nobody in this "community" will consider him legit unless he suggests he offed somebody. Nothing farther from the truth but that doesn't stop him.

[@troyhbk]

@@historyiwitness5915 100%, it's funny because we dont care but he thinks we care, so he lays it on very,very thick that he killed someone. sad world we live in.

[@ihadtoo23]

Yeah he was making too much pape to kill 💯

[@aliassmithandjones9453]

it seems the me the word they should be using is Murder not 'kill'.

Been a fan since slim Jesus 🤙

It's kind of mad you can get an order to kill, you have no information why etc. You do it because you have no choice, then another family could then put a hit out on you for doing it, basically its pot luck if you're gonna just die at any time... no wonder they're almost all dead or in prison

[@danlandavazo1506]

Question for Michael. Dd he know Joe Dragna? And Frank Desimone? He was to young. My age . But family history. Would be a great story.

It's just like in the military.

The last people I would want to end up at war with were the Francescana Family. The Barilla brothers. They operated in the Osteria area, 5 km south of Bolognese. Made Roy Demeo look like a boyscout in comparison.
