Al Capone
Can anyone prove that Capone was actually a gangster, or was it all only a hoax? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Jgarrison (talk • contribs). Honestly, the FBI mugshot was taken when he was arrested for tax evasion. They arrested Gotti for murder, for which he was convicted. The article should be deleted or edited accordingly to show what crimes Capone actually committed. The print media has turned several people into popular anti-heroes (example: Billy the Kid) who should not have been in the American spotlight. Seriously, what sounds better, possible gangster, or guy who couldn't fill out his tax forms correctly? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Jgarrison (talk • contribs).
