  • they spelled organized wrong

  • the government is legal mafia...at least with the mob you know what you have...with legal mafia they try and tell you they are your friends but they are there to screw us all...and if you think cops don't lie...think again...tey are the worst gangsters of all!

  • Government is a criminal organization. Do you really need proof of guilt?

  • read his book! When Corruption was King." A great story.

  • Read his book - "When Corruption was King." A great story.

  • @Zeckellin, Cooley was a degenerate gambler...he took the money, did the deeds, then all of a sudden, he gets righteous!! Pat Marcy, John D'Arco, and other 1'st Ward Politicians suffered due to this man's sudden attack of conscience???

  • @MrUgotz472 Nothing you can say about Cooley that he hasn't already admitted. Chicago politics - the slime there is probably not that much worse than in New York or Boston or anywhere else where politicians get help from criminals to get the vote in and get them elected. That's what made Marcy so powerful, at least that is what Cooley says. Check out "Regan's Colts" if you want to know how politicians used criminals and criminal tactics in the early 1900's to get elected. Has anything changed?

  • @Zeckellin Cook County corruption is 10x as bad as NY or Boston ever was.

  • @ConiferTreez You may be right - but I have no inside information on that issue and have read no revelatory books on those cities. Maybe you have - but I doubt if things were much different - no doubt similar tactics were used to get similar results. The basic question would be: "Why would New York or Boston be any different?" or Kansas City or Los Angeles or Las Vegas . . . One of the major major corruption factors was Prohibition - that created organized crime as we know it today.

  • @Zeckellin First off, anything west of the Mississippi was Chicago territory, so Vegas, LA, KC, all Outfit guys running the show & answering to the Old Man back home.

    NY & Boston obviously have experienced corruption on many different levels, but Chicago is like nothing we've ever seen before: complete death grip on every single level of the city's infrastructure.

    Have you read Mr. Cooley's book?

  • Comment removed

  • @ the so called 'tough guys' calling him a 'rat' at least he did the right thing, and it took balls to do what he did. Too bad the same thing can't be said about you.

  • Lol at all the wannabe internet gangsters calling him a rat.

  • BORING STORY ABOUT A FUCKING RAT

  • They went off his thoughts and mumblings. Now that he is gone they don't hear him anymore. Sanity restored.

  • Read the book when corruption was king by Cooley to know the real story

  • NOW WE KNOW! RAT!

  • He should have been disbared by the Illinois Bar. Ethics violations and criminal action even if does have imunity.

  • Brass Balls

  • Cooley lived the life back then & was a arrogant prick cocksucker. Once that degenerate gambling pig knew he wore out his welcome he became a rat. The FEDS took him in with open arms! He's a two faced rat bastard

    hypocrite. I read his book too. He's full of shit! FUCK ROBERT COOLEY!

  • i so aree with bobbybrandolino, (rats are the worst things to happen!!!!)

  • hey mr perfect! why dont you erase the world 'italian' from your comment and from your big mouth? I am italian, I live in italy and I dont like mafia either ; I say you are allowed to write 'mafia are a bunch of fags', but dont speak about a people and a culture you dont know shit about! if you are so angry, go tell it to a wiseguy or screw something alive and chill out. I am avoiding any insult on purpose, cause I think u should learn some respect!

  • say it to a wiseguy's face? as if they still exist lol..but either way i would heres a secret us blacks dont think much of the so call "mafia" we consider them a joke and think its hilarious how your people are afraid of them

  • ow take it easy my friend

  • Can't you fucking spell?

  • good post.

  • ok...so you are the king of the hood huh? you have guts to face any black drug-dealer where u live, huh? here's my secret; you were born rich and you dont know shit about italian mafia as well as about black mafia. And I bet you would shit your pants too if some guys in your hometown bursted 500 TNT Kilos and destroyed a piece of highway just to kill a single judge, believe, superman!

  • 500 tnt kilos to blow up a highway to kill a judge..hahahahahah little white dude you watch too many movies...gangs are not doing shit like that lol they would blow up theirselves before they could pull something like that off idiot... and did you say tnt? lol this is 2009 idiot that shit is from the 60tys ......try c4 dummy

  • Im sorry to inform you, but thts what they tried with Judge Falcony. Please shut up, you absolutly dont know what ur talking about.

  • we have no idea what youre talking about here in america...the mob is dead!!! you obviously live in a fantasy land...idiot

  • I watch a documentary and saw pictures of the damage you speak of and know what the italian civilians have to deal with. Please don't let mikeisthesouth speak for blacks ( since i'm one) in general. Also, I do know about the black mafia and there gone it's actually the Junior Black Mafia that's still around.

  • there aint no black mafia what is the matter with youq?!

  • I was referring to organized crime generally...anyway, either you know it or you dont. I dont want to argue cause I dont care. If you ever were into that, you know that people who are for real have the same rules everywhere. Let movie carachters live in the movies; anybody believing mafiosi to be some kind of robin hoods is just full of shit. Se sei italiano del sud sai di cosa parlo.

  • yea u right about that but i too was referring to something else.what i mean is black mafia(if u can call that mafia) cant be like the italians (im talkin about the management here).blacks are just a bunch of so called gangstas killin eachother without any style the culture is playin a big role and blacks are just street thugs for example the thing with frank lucas or the other guy N B after their retirement their organization vanished thats why u cant call it mafia its a glorified gang thats it

  • Niggers like shooting each other for $20. All their money goes on weed, malt liquor, tennis shoes and hairstyles. They don't know anything at all.

  • @MrPolskaDuma I almost prefer cops to them- but not quite.

  • @MrPolskaDuma No not true im black and never spend my money on them dumb things! And also I woulden kill some body over know 20 buck lol Thats dumb were did you get that from?

  • @MrPolskaDuma if I was risking my life and freedom to sell dope I'd at least save the money. they waste it

  • True. There is a Junior Black Mafia and thier only found in Philadelphia,Camden, and other areas of New Jersey.They work with the Philly crime family and have about 50 - 100 members and 300 associates.

  • wow

    everyones a mafia these days

    russian mafia

    albanian mafia

    chinese mafia

    mafia = italians & noone else

  • I agree that mafia=italians & no one else. It just FBI and other law enforcement agencies use the term as reference to organized crime in general.

  • you can have the name and title all you want, but moeny and power doesn't give a shit what you call yourself or your organization.

  • @iChex there is no mafia in the united states. the mafia is in italy.. people are fucking dumb

  • @soonermagic24 Hahaha do you think that mafia is only in italy? Then you're not that smart as you think that you are....

  • @machia96 its not the mafia here in the us.. we call it la cosa nostra (our thing). its completely different.. people call it the mob/ mafia, but its not.. respect the old country! they have mafia son

  • @soonermagic24 Sicilian/italian mafia is identical to US mafia in near every way. Only culturally different.. you know jack shit about mafia organisations despite what you would like to be

  • @Pawnbroker00 naw. you know nothing. its funny to me

  • Saw his bio. He was a piece of crap.

  • I hope this rat fuck gets a blowtorch to the face.

  • jeez why didnt they just shoot him

  • tbsdrummer87- what you said is sort of true but really mobs are not nothiung like street gangs. Street gangs are pussies who need other people to back them up. Also gangsters just want respect or act cool. Mobs do it for the money, they are the true shit. Their cold as fuck and couldnt give a shit about anybodys life, they just want what all humans want and that is money.

  • some 1 bring the supranos lol

  • Truly, the comments on this website are often times more entertaining than the videos themselves.

  • what mob is this again?

  • The Outfit started by Al "Scarface" Capone in the 20's or 30's.

  • Mobs are just a group of pussies. If you really need to join a gang/mob/mafia to feel powerful well your not. You just borrow courage from another man who borrows it from another man and so forth. Power in numbers usually attacks just one therefore making them look strong but set one on one equally and youll see how the story works out

  • The real life Batman.

  • More like real life Harvey Dent.

  • go join the mafia and prey on the weak you worm. I'll fucking kill everyone of you cunts.

  • You're dead.

  • "pure americans"???? americans are all races mixed fucking dumbass

  • Hahhaha I laugh at your post XD

  • An F in history right. A pure American Is a Native Indian not white" and there is no such thing as a pure white anymore numb nuts. American is strong because we are mixed. But soon we will all become slaves of our own government.

  • TRUE

  • school?

  • go to school

  • I am curious as to how the Mob is doing their ways of conducting business these days seeing that America is now 70+% police state.

  • Gangs are what makes america, The police is a gang too, the government a gang!

  • no doubt, harsh

  • I wish gangs would GTFO they ruin the world.

  • yeah, the RUIN the world, but they also RUN the world. and that is unfortunate.

  • how do u spell the gang leaders name is it "pat marcy" because i want to google him

  • damn it mother fucker, show the whole thing

  • lol

  • they broke my knees

  • you don't turn on the mob..

  • hey ricknitz, and why the fuck not? because they're just so high and freaking mighty? get over them. Criminals are SCUM and I'd turn them in, in a heartbeat if I saw the shit they were doing too. Mafia are just men with weapons and oversized fuckin egos that need to be brought down a few dozen notches.

  • yeah and guess what blackpwer...2pac is rotting 6 feet under too. LMFAO!

  • He was found dead 2 weeks after this was shown on tv

  • lol you're joking right?

  • lmao am I? :P

  • i didn't know you could predict the future

  • are you serious?

  • why so serious?

  • you are bullshitting- i want your sources.

  • seriously? where did u hear that?

  • Is it sad that I have cable mostly just for NatGeo?

  • kind of lol but whatever floats your boat

  • lmao! busted

  • great doco!

  • what a pussy

  • Great video. Unfortunately, I believe it's too late. The government mirrors the mob in in many ways. What do you think?

  • I agree with you. I think that because government officials are only human, that it the idea is sort of inherently flawed. I can sit back and pretend that it will all even out eventually but I can't begin to even fathom the types of information that my government keeps from me. I often wonder if we would be better off if we knew everything the government knows - most of the time I don't think that we would.

  • If you really want to find out what the U.S. government is doing behind your back with your tax money, check out the book: "The Secret History of the American Empire" and also: "Confessions of an Economic Hit Man." Both books are by John Perkins

  • that's what a man with BALLS and a good heart looks like.

  • This would be a pure fantasy world in Italy.

    Last month, the Italian parliament has passed a law that makes it illegal to eavesdrop/wiretap virtually anyone for normal and financial crimes.

    Just the same type of crimes the current prime minister (Silvio Berlusconi) was on trial for. Seven times so far, and all dismissed because of statute of limitation or because he changed the law to make his crimes not a crime (i.e. cooking the books)

  • fuck tha cops

  • ASSHOLE #2

  • or he got a hefty bonus?

  • A brave, brave man!

  • what happens if you witness a person murdering someone close to you and you demand justice? For him to have a life sentence to butt-rape in prison, you'd have to tell the police and testify in court... "what's that called?"

  • ASSHOLE#1

  • and thats why your name is jonnyrotten. very appropriate name.

  • His destiny was to make it right and he did. I say he is one brave person that got spiritual strength from his enemies to put them where they are now. May the Angels watch over him. 5/5

  • My cousin got killed by the mafia.. He was in jail and my cousins mate scammed the mafia about 30 grand in drugs.. So they took it off on him.. They wrapped him up in a blanket and stabbed him dead.. :(

    R.I.P.

  • RIP

  • sounds kinda like bat man the dark nite...its even in chicago :D

  • I agree with you!

  • yeh..thats why you couldn't pay me to live there!!

  • brave move

  • Scary haha

  • thats awesome, hope those mob guys get what they deserve.

  • dumb shit now they no who he is, hes gna get wacked

  • amazing ! the mafia did not buy the fbi ?

  • He's either really brave or REALLY stupid.

  • brave man

  • Wow he's brave... But they should have put the wire in his crotch rofl. The part where he complained about his back made him fishy to them.

  • dude, he has to have massive ball to do some shit like that lol

  • Lucky for him the mafia doesnt watch National Geographic channel, Or do they ....?

  • hes got Ballz of Steel

  • Is this chap crazy, going on TV showing everyone what he looks like.

  • wow i would never want to mess with a mafia.

    Brave guy.

  • Hard to believe, this guy goes into the witness protection program after what he had accomplished and then agress to an interview? Doesn't make much sense.

  • They all know what he looks like, right?

  • Does anyone have this guys' current home address? It's for a cousin of mine, we'd like to thank him personally for all the hard work he's done for law enforcement. -_-

  • yeah i think hes dating my exwife in henderson ky.lol

  • LOL haha ...good one

  • woah cool!

  • Brave man.

  • Too bad he doesn't know Daredevil.

  • hes intellegent why not try in the groove?

  • Ballsy. Very ballsy.

  • Good for him, such courage is what is needed when such corruption is rampant.

  • the italian mafia in america is finished- look at henry hill the snitch who put paul vario and his luchese crew in jail. he is walking around doing tv interviews, writing books, being a show off. until he is dead- the mafia has lost its balls. and he is just one snitch of many who are alive and bragging about taking down their portion of the mafia.

  • no they are just more low key now and days, back in the golden age of the 50's and 60's, they could do w/e they wanted and be loud, but now and days they gotta be quiet. they are def still around and doing work

  • i know they are still around- they just lost all their balls is all. i mean cmon, the guy in the video was arrested for 7g- that is fucking pennies. WoW makes 150 million a month. if the nerds at blizzard entertainment wanted the mafia wiped out- they could do it in a week's notice. the bosses themselves probably don't have over 10 mill neth worths.
