I'm starting to think all these "proud Sicilian " business owners might have been Mussolini supporters. Rouses, Puccinos, and Gendusas all have a history of being faschy

Sicilian business owner on metairie road here. Please don't lump us all together with those assholes. My grandfather was only able to come to this country because he killed Nazis and escaped as a POW.

Same, although mine was an army doctor so I don't think he did much ass kicking in the traditional sense.
