Al Capone Starting off

Born in Brooklyn, Alphonsus Capone grew up in a bad neighboorhood of two "kid gangs," The Brooklyn Rippers and the Theives Juniors. Quit School in 6th grade at age fourteen. Grew up scamming and working little jobs in and out. Became part of the notorious "Five Points Gang". Nicknamed,"Scarface" after being attacked for insulting a patron.
Ever since i was a child i always admired Al Capone in a way, for the fact that he was a major mafia member that even came through my own city of Peoria. in 1918, Capone, met a girl named Mary "Mae". Gave birth to their son December 4, the same year. Married on the 30th.
"Capone's first arrest was on a disorderly conduct charge while he was working for Yale. He also murdered two men while in New York, early testimony to his willingness to kill. In accordance with gangland etiquette, no one admitted to hearing or seeing a thing so Capone was never tried for the murders." Capone was a murderous goon early off in life, ruthless, a true gangster, even though he committed alot of crimes, he was a strong person."Capone arrived in Chicago in 1919." Eventually got into bootlegging. Honestly I just enjoy learning and reading about mobsters. I don't think i needd to write out his whole life just thought i should blog a little bit about him.
