DD, I don't know if we should be using the term "respected" when speaking of mobsters. They are criminals after all, with this one being suspected of being a murderer. And quite frankly, they are feared, not respected. Without the worry of retribution, many people would have stood up to these guys. This is no different than young African-Americans looking up to drug dealers and gangs in their neighborhoods as role models. But keep the avatar game going though. It is fun.

Papa, I was always taught that there was two kinds of respect. The respect that is given, as in earned and the respect that is taken, as in fear. However, when I use the word respected it is in reference to how he was viewed in the organized crime circles by his peers.
