Let’s learn to recognize the criminal culture around us. An honest person evaluates who is guilty according to the collective yardstick of national and international law. For a mafioso, someone who is not following the rules of the mafia or who, simply, is not following his own personal rules is guilty. Rules that change from second to second, following the flow of his interests and frustrations. For a mafioso it is easy to exploit the gossip of the village to punish his enemies as it is easy to generate the gossip of the village by imposing his truths. For an honest person the evidence of the facts is essential to judge and equally essential is the contradictory because an honest person learns to judge from the fundamental principles of law.
