La Cosa Nostra

[Jimmy DiPetro]

La Cosa Nostra

In Italian: 'Our Thing' / 'This Thing of Ours'
(Known by the public as The American Mafia, Italian Mafia, Mob, Mafia etc.)

BACKSTORY
The Sicilian or Italian Mafia originated on the Island of Sicily and Southern Italy. Coming to America, many of them relied on their fellow Sicilians-Italians in order to survive from what we felt was an unfair justice system, made up of mainly Irish or other judges in many areas. These judges and the system, were giving Italians stiff sentencing for example. Many Italians worked together to form their own thing in America; Cosa Nostra or 'Our Thing' - known to the public as the American Mafia. These Sicilian American's worked with their fellow Sicilians and Italians in Sicily and Southern Italy. We look out for each other, and those we do business with. Not just working with Sicilians, but Irish and all those who do real business. A few of us have come to Los Santos because we know the city has business and now, you can become a member without being Italian. After Joe Valachi ratted and got that ball rolling, it's harder to do business - and almost nothing is a secret anymore. Despite these changes we try to keep to our original values.


MOTIVATION
Our motivation for La Cosa Nostra are many, one major reason is to do business on most all levels, and to do it with others who share the same views. We don't work with Law Enforcement, and  don't 'rat' on anyone. We are motivated heavily in the sense that there are many good people being treated unfairly and we would like to assist in that sense. These set of values or rules alone are the motivation that brings some of us here, and much of it you could say is money. Everyone must provide for not only themselves but their families at home. The sense of a livelihood mixed with our way of life, our own laws and ways of doing business is why some people are drawn to join the La Cosa Nostra. 



GOALS
We want to become an Official Faction and are diligently working to become one. As a group, we are looking to acquire a warehouse for many reasons, mainly being arms. Our goal is to become a strong enough faction to where we can afford to help those in need - while giving those who deserve it what's needed. We plan to establish a solid faction in the area with good people. Another major goal is that we would like to see the majority of men and women of the city and surrounding areas treated with the respect that they deserve and handled fairly, regardless of who they might be. Our main goal is to get the Faction Warehouse, owning property and legitimate businesses are also high priority.




CODE
- Don't work with Law Enforcement
- Don't appeal to the Law against anyone

   When Three brothers and their a few of their friends came to Los Santos - there was little hope for future financial success for the men from New England. With the smuggling that used to exist so well on the fishing boats out of New England almost seizing to be, the friends, cousins and brothers decided to try their luck in a populated city. Hoping to find the right connections and right people to get a good restart on life, their fortunes changed quickly. Jimmy was put in prison shortly after arriving but has since been released - Tony was shot and almost paralyzed, and is recovering in the Hospital as of this writing. The City is more dangerous than expected, as the brothers had lived briefly in Manhatten, Brooklyn and New York City and figured this could not be any worse, however it has proved to be. After Tony was shot, Larry and Jimmy went to look for and kill whoever shot their brother - while they found one of the accomplices and did right by Antonio,  they were spontaneously ambushed by Police - with only Jimmy able to escape. Larry was too far from him for Jimmy to do anything. It was now time for La Cosa Nostra to do right by his ill-fated brothers.

   Immediately they began making connections within the city, going outside the normal routine of complete and utter secrecy, however still keeping as quiet as possible. They began to link up with good people - not just Italians. They knew the only way to make 'this thing of ours' work now is to find the correct people, it didn't matter if they were Italian - and it hasn't mattered for some time. Just a few years ago however, to become a made man your father had to be Italian. First finding a few of the right connections, some associates and then trustworthy friends. It wasn't long before the members and associates began to make small moves together and watching over each other, especially in business dealings or anything involving money. 



   With Antonio still unable to help the group with severe gunshot wounds, and Larry in prison - Jimmy has phoned his brother and three cousins still in New England to assist the Cosa Nostra. Letting them know of the hostilities and gang ridden areas in Los Santos - only two have decided to come and assist. Jimmy was not the only one to phone family blood ties, and the organization continues to only get cleaner, safer. We all know we would not have come this far without sticking to our principles and each other.



   The connections that the few members of the crew made were beneficial to all parties. After many shootouts and failed botched deals, fortune began to swing in favor of Cosa Nostra. At least financially, we lost more than a few good men in these gun battles and botched dealings. Through steady perseverance we were able to recuperate and regain financial status. After this, we decided it would be best to lie extra low after the police and thugs had been steadily searching for us - we and agreed to let fate decide what came next.
