Hollywood/Criminal: Sometimes We Forget What The Difference Between The Two Are

It's easy to confuse fiction with reality. Drug dealing are glorified in rap and hip hop music/videos and  being a mobster is portrayed in the movies as better then being the President.

Who would want to be a president opposed to a gangster? 

A president has to spend years in college and then more years working his way up the cooperate leader, kissing asses, smiling for the camera, doing for the people etc.

 What about the perfect family; the wife and kids, protecting your infidelity with your your life, or bye-bye perfect image.

 Of course that perfect image also comes along with: getting up early in the morning, off to bed at a reasonable time, boring formal dinners and parties, constant authority presence, not to mention you actually have to do work from day-to-day. 

Let's not forget one more big down fall to this prestigious job,  your income sucks. Most drug dealers and or high ranking organized crime figures make much more money than a president or someone close to that type of job. 

So let's say your not into going to school, your not one of the 1% of athletes that make it to a professional status, your not an actor or a musician and going to work every day does not really peak your interest, what do you do?

 Why not become a Gangster? 

Party all night, wake up when you want, considering your boss lives the same lifestyle, not much to worry about, like a morning meeting; and your definitely not waking up to go and punch the clock. Womanizing is a must, or you would probably be considered gay, which might just lead to your demise. Drinking and drug use, for the most part is excepted, party at your will, no media to hide from or smile for. 

If you have problems with someone, it can be taking care of with street justice, swift and to the point. If you have problems with the law, if everyone follows the street code, you won't have problems with the law; a license to steal, kill, rape, rob, etc. 

 

The obvious gangster lure is: The Lifestyle

The rules that the general public follow don't apply

If your a true Gangster you're a 1%er

But in the end, is the lifestyle of a gangster worth it? You can always watch the famous gangster flicks and find out for yourself. For the most part you end up leading yourself to an early grave or in a prison cell for the rest of your life.

Do with that as you will. Very few people like Tony Accardo can spend a full life as a gangster and die of old age as a free man. Especially if your crimes are committed in or against the U.S.

Just Remember

 Most mobsters, drug dealers, organized crime figures etc. die broke, prematurely, and looney.
