re: #235 lawhawk

I too grew up in Brooklyn and lived in and around those who were all too likely involved in bad business. I know where many of the events portrayed in Good Fellas took place from personal experience - driving by them or knowing of them. To me, it’s a history lesson, but Good Fellas does anything but glorify the mob life. It shows just how sinister and evil things can get, and how it can thoroughly destroy a person.

We knew each other, right?
