“Don’t mistake my kindness for weakness. I am kind to everyone, but when someone is unkind to me, weak is not what your going to remember about me.”

Al Capone popularized expiration dates on milk back in the 1930s. The story goes that one of Capone's family members got sick after drinking some expired milk, and Capone got interested in the milk industry.

The People Profiles are the MVP of the YouTube documentary scene during the near worldwide stay at home orders! Only channel where I'm finding original content rather than re-uploaded docs that another channel already posted. Thanks for the great Capone documentary!

Some of my favorite Al Capone quotes:

“Be careful who you call your friends. I’d rather have four quarters than one hundred pennies.” - Al Capone

“A smile can get you far, but a smile with a gun can get you further.” - Al Capone

“We been on the road for 18 hours... I need a bath, some chow... and then you and me sit down, and we talk about who dies, eh?” - Al Capone

“I don't even know what street Canada is on.”
- Al Capone

“Do not mistake my kindness weakness, I am kind to everyone, but if you are unkind to me it will not be weakness that you will remember me for.”     - Al Capone

The only positive contribution Al Capone ever made to the world in which he lived was a long legacy of great mob movies! A little more seriously, he was apparently an enigma. To the common man he was kind-hearted and, to the downtrodden, even philanthropic. But to those who got in his way, well ... as he put it himself, they found him to be less kind.

It's amazing the way his wife stood by him despite his STD's.

In Jan 1984 I saw Big Al's black V-12 car on display on Las Vegas Blvd. Bulletproof glass, tiny gun ports, false floor, rear chute for 4 inch nails.

My mom grew up next door to his house on Palm Island, FL and she said that he was a kind and caring man and had deep pockets for the girl scouts

During the depression, my grandfather out of work, He would build secret c!osets in the rich people's houses and businesses to hide their bootlegging activities. My grandfather was about 5'7" and stocky build. He was a classy dresser. He would always wore suits and hats . He was out drinking . He was sitting and drinking with Al Capone. When he was ready to leave. He went out the door and got shot by a drive by shooter. He was mistaken as Al Capone. When I was a small child. Some 25-30 years later. He told me the story and showed me his upper right arm where the bullet left it's scar. It was a huge scare. Of course, I didn't know who he was talking about at the time. When I found out I never forgot that story.

The reporters were respectful in those days by keeping Al's wife and son out of the limelight.

Al Capone was part Robin Hood and part gangster. He did what he had to do in each persona To keep his business going.I think he is more of a folk hero today than he was during his own lifetime.He is also became sort of a cartoon version of gangsters In the media now.

My grandpa knew Al Capone and said they were close buds, I've never heard a bad thing about Al Capone from my grandpa. I learned from my grandpa "if you treat Al with respect, he'll treat you with respect and kindness." That hit me deep

[spaceman]

Eliot Ness and the Untouchables were never more than an annoyance to Al Capone. It was the IRS who took down Al Capone, not the Prohibition agents.

If you want to gather honey don't kick over the beehive. "Under my coat I do have a generous and innocent heart that doesn't want to hurrt anyone" the letter of All Capone.

[calvinh]

Ironic that the nickname he so despised would become so iconic.

I've visited Al Capone's beach side villa in Cuba a few years back, now a Restaurant. Dude had taste. Had some rum sitting there wondering what he could have thought while watching the beautiful ocean. BTW, food & drinks were very good too!

[carolannjohnson]

I enjoy watching old gangster shows, I love the clothes

[playGOC]

His entire outfit including ties, collars, belt-buckle, socks, garter, etc was around $850 each in those days. That's $12, 710 in 2022. A new house was $6, 300 in the '20s.

My grandpa built some of the stills for Mr Capone and I never heard a bad thing about him.

Continued from last message. Most gangsters with half Als power would have killed the guy but Al had more class than most of his peers. That's why he got as far as he did.
