for a week i'd like to be a dude like this in vegas, just to taste the power and fear...what type of childhood creates a bro like this?
does everyone have this capabillity, or only certain types of sick fucks?
Mirra was born in the poverty stricken Lower East Side, Manhattan at Knickerbocker Village where he lived in the same apartment building as Embarrato, Richard Cantarella, and D'Amico. Anthony was once a good friend of Benjamin Ruggiero, Anthony owned the Lunchbox Lunchonette in Little Italy, Manhattan not far from Ruggiero's bar. His relatives D'Amico, Embarrato and Cantarella became involved in major racketeering schemes at The New York Post distribution center behind their housing complex, but Mirra moved on to more successful and prosperous racketeering endeavours.
Pistone said says that Mirra was the nastiest and most intimidating man he met during his seven years of being undercover. Mirra stood at 6'2 and weighed 210 pounds. By age fifty, Mirra had spent more than half of his life in and out of federal prisons. It is estimated that by 1975 Mirra had murdered thirty to forty people, although he was never convicted any murders. Mirra had a reputation of being ruthless killer with unpredictable mood swings. He was the self-confessed assassin of Anthony Carfano and comedian Allan Drake's wife, Janice Hansen in 1959. Due to Anthony's irrational behavior nobody could ever build a close relationship with him. He would never talk about anything that did not involve criminal activities. Unlike most mobsters, Anthony never drank alcohol, only ginger ale. The only family he was close to in his life time was his biological mother. Joseph Pistone says, "One day you might ask him, "How's your mother, Tony?" He might say, "Okay." Another day you ask him, and he might answer, "What the f**k you so nosy about?"
Even with his mood swings and arrogant manner Anthony displayed regularly he was a womanizer who enjoyed group sex. Women became attracted to him, even though he treated them like dirt. As a child and into his adolescence he had never shown any interest in friendship or romantic relationships, and was bullied throughout his childhood by peers which ended in violent fights, and usually with the other one getting stabbed. Anthony never married but had many girlfriends that ranged from "bimbos to movie stars". When he wasn't "hustling" them, he abused them, physically and berated them with insults. Anthony remained a recluse from his fellow mobsters. As an adult Anthony would visit his mother regularly, every Sunday to drive her to mass, Mother's Day and her birthday. On the day of his visits he would not commit any cimes the day before, the day of, or the day after visiting. Some of the most striking features of Mirra's psyche-his prenaturally close relationship to his mother and his ambivalent attitude towards women. A psychologist has attempted to explain this while examining the mind of Norman Mailer explained as "psychotic grandiosity". It would also suggest that these extreme anger management issues would become more apparent as he grew older" and obviously increased in power among the rank-and-file street soldiers of the Bonanno crime family. Nothing suggests that during this period he felt any urgent need to understand or come to terms with them. Anthony was the first initial contact FBI agent Joseph Pistone made in his undercover operation which led to his infiltration of the Bonanno crime family. He introduced Pistone to Benjamin Ruggiero and offered the FBI agent a job handling his slot-machine route. Not long after their partnership sparked up in 1975 Mirra in fled New York City after being indicted for drug trafficking. The FBI caught up with him three months later and he was sent to federal prison again for eight and a half years. After the sudden and untimely death of his capo Michael Zaffarano Mirra took over the Bonanno crime family pornography empire and worked under the equally powerful Sicilian capo Cesare Bonventre. Mirra also muscled in on several Little Italy, Manhattan restaurants and bars.
[edit] A Knife Man
Mirra was known among fellow mobsters as a "knife man". It was a common practice for all mobsters to carry knives, because they were routinely rousted by police officers and didn't want to be caught with illegal firearms on them. Mirra carried a folding knife with a long blade. It was uncommon for mobsters to ever use their blade, preferring the use of a firearm, unlike Mirra. While Pistone was undercover he was repeatedly warned by fellow mobsters that, "If you ever get into an argument with him [Mirra], make sure you stay an arm's length apart, because he will stab you."
[edit] Reputation on the Streets
Mirra was always in trouble, either with the authorities or fellow mobsters because of his obnoxious behavior and insults. Anthony had no real alligance to anybody and always in trouble with the authorities which gave him a bad reputation on the street. He was widely despised but just as widely feared. Everyone tried to avoid contact with him. Mirra never spent his own money and demanded that everything was "on the arm" or free of charge when he was with anyone. Mirra also extorted from the food stands at the Feast of San Gennaro which was held in Little Italy, New York City. In Joe Pistone's view, Mirra was a better money earner than Benjamin Ruggiero. At the time Pistone met him, within four months of being out of prison he said he'd made more than $200,000 for himself. He had a large territory under his control and numerous mafia contacts. It was widely believed by the authorities and fellow mobsters that he was a psychopath. People around him put on an act that they were Mirra's friends because they feared him. He once dated a lesbian vendor who worked at the Feast of San Gennaro and got her a street vendor stand. After she told Anthony of her sexual orientation Mirra threatened to kill the girl if she returned to the stand.
[edit] Criminal Enterprising
He also was involved in a vending machine operation that dealt in slot machines, peanut vending machines, video arcade machines and pinball machines that were distributed all over New York City. He had them installed in stores, lunchonettes, social clubs and after-hours establishments. The slot machines, since they were illegal would be installed in the establishment's back room or basement. He would open the machines with a key he carried and give the store owner his cut of the profits $25 and up. This coin collection route produced $2,000 a week. Mirra was involved in "strong arm" schemes and extorted from several bars and restaurants. Each of the owners would pay him $5,000 a week in protection money which he would become irrational if he did not receive.
