He died in 1947.He was popularly known by gentlemany as Scarface due to the knife cut mark that was on his leave cheek. The name Al Capone is thus synonymous with crime especially in Chicago and thus one cannot talk of crime and fail to talk of this man. This research paper is specifically going o localise on the life and death of Al Capone. It will in particularly focus on his voice as far as crime in the United States is concerned.Al Capone rose to fame in the 1920s during the stoppage known as the Prohibition era. His activities led Chicago to look as if it was a lawless pronounce due to his success in criminal activities. Just like other students, Al Capone went to a world prepare but unfortunat ely the t separatelyers in these schools were a bit harsh to immigrant students and would use physical event to discipline them and Al Capone being one of them as his family had migrated to USA from the Old Country, was thus no exception1.Specifically, Al Capone did not have a good relationship with his schools administration and thus they were invariably crossing paths something that drastically affected his grades. After some duration, his relationship with teachers deteriorated to a level such that he was dispelled from school and that marked the end of his life in school2.Though indirect, his career received a major boost when his overprotect relocated his family to 21 Garfield Place. This relocation gave Al Capone an opportunity to join local street caboodles such as the Forty Thieves Juniors and the Brooklyn Rippers where he met other gangsters such as Johny Torrio and Lucky Luciano3.Having worked for James Street gang and fin points gang, Al Capone gained some skills in street smarts making him to be qualified as a saloon tender and a bouncer in a brothel in Brooklyn owned by Torrio and Frankie Yale.As a bouncer, he would mistreat people for example he broke the legs, arms and even skulls of those who were deemed to be chaotic. It was epoch on the job(p) as a bouncer in this brothel that Al Capone earned his name the scarface afterward being attacked and slashed by Frank Gallucio after he insulted her sister although he would later brood that he was injured in the Great War in France4.It is in 1919 that he was arrested for the first time firstly for disorderly conduct and secondly for a murder case where he killed a man in 1918 but fortunately for Al Capone, as per ganglands principles or etiquettes, nobody testified for or against him and thus he was not tried for this murder. To ease down the tension that had built up, Yale who had been invited by his uncle Jim Colosimo in Chicago invited Al Capone to stay with him for a while. This time coi ncided with when the Prohibition Act was in ability.Torrio was in disagreement with his uncle because he wanted his uncle to embark on bootlegging something that he was totally opposed. By this time his uncle whoring business had already amassed plenteous profit and thus he did not see the need to diversify. Torrio started seeing his uncle as a stumbling chock up and thus thought of how he would eliminate him. With the help of Al Capone, the mission was executed and they took over the business5.While working for this gang, Al Capone helped his gang to prosper and extended its relations to another gang organization known as Colosimo mob. These organizations in one way or the other helped Al Capone to become the man he was.The creator for this is that after five years of his service, Torrio accidentally got wounded and could no longer be able to scat the gang thereby transferring its leadership to Al Capone. Under his leadership, the gang became the most feared and successful an d anyone who challenged its leadership was eliminated. repayable to their ruthlessness, they were able to conquer over mobs that succumbed to their threats or entreaties. Those that would not dance to their tunes were suppressed by use of force and a case in point is the Dion OBannons killing attempt, the Irish Northern brass gang in 1924.According to Oregon Coast cartridge clip, contrary to the expectations of Torrio and Al Capone, the failure to take over this gang opened a can of worms as from there on the two gangs never saw each other to eye and this culminated to the shootings that left Torrio badly injured.
