nostr:npub1v8y2xk3wzc2w7rkfhraq8vhjf4de5x00h460x4lrdg206vtkdcvsdws6vc one could argue this statement is pretty darn offensive to old mafia guys. Especially in Sicily and Palermo. Sure they're all scumbags, criminals and all, but there's one huge difference: if you pay the mafia for protection, you're actually protected, while when you pay the government, you'll get robbed and if you're lucky you won't bleed out within half an hour the cops will need to pick up the phone and dispatch a retard to take your statement that will be used in court someday
