My favorite gangster

Hmm, There are a lot of mobsters out there that had proven themselves. They had brains and they had balls. Some were "brains" and some were "Muscle" and some were BOTH but in the end, they all ended up dead or in jail. Only a few guys were able to retire and die from old age, the fortunate ones. But you cant deny it, they were great while they lasted, there had been a lot of stories about this and that, how this mobster whacked this mobster but what it comes down to was that the guy with the most brains and balls would be the one on top.

You gotta admire Charlie "Lucky" Luciano,













He came from humble origins and begginings but he made his way through the world with nothing more but his brains and his balls.....and a gun.

To my knowledge, He started out extorting jewish kids and giving them protection for a price. He ten chanced upon this skinny jewish kid who stood up to him and gave him a piece of himself, Turned out to be Meyer Lansky. He was also known as the "Brains" of the Mafia. Well, though he was the brains, Luciano was no muscle either. He was the one responsible for "Incorporating" the Mafia. From a bunch or Street gangs and crime syndicates, Luciano organized the mob into what it is today. A giant evil octopus with its tentacles all over the place. (By "place" i mean anything that you can make money of) otherwise known as "The commission" He had the balls to take what he wanted and he took it. By the way, in case you didnt know why he was called "Lucky" because of his encounter with an earlier mob boss, i forgot if it was Masseria or Maranzano but one of them set up a meeting with Luciano and the original motive was to kidnap and torture him. He was beaten, stabbed and all that but in the end....he still survived. How bad-ass is that?

In my view, he is the equivalent of Tupac Shakur in the hip hop world. He also was responsible for the murder of the two bosses mentioned above, Joe Masseria and Salvatore Maranzano. Such are the traits you could admire. Only a few people are capable of doing those feats that Luciano had accomplished, but If you ask me, he couldnt have done it without the help of Meyer lansky.

In conclusion, Though there may be other mobsters out there who had accomplished this or that, murdered people, made money..MILLIONS of it. You can never doubt the way Luciano revolutionized the world of organized crime
