Are Mobsters Monsters?

Innocence

A warm smile is never guilty?


Deceptive grins
A smile can create a facade of innocence that gains the trust of the viewer. For Al Capone, Don Carlo Gambino, Lucky Luciano and John Gotti, smiling made them appear like an approachable, family man to society. The smiles of these men do not match the creepy smiles that one imagines scary monsters to wear. The mobster's smiles seem to be as friendly and welcoming as those from kindergarten teachers on the first day of class. Hence why, at first, mobsters manage to appear to be innocent or blameless to society, rather than to be monstrous and guilt ridden.
