"I can tell you from direct experience that Scorcese's portrayal of these people was spot-on. It was almost eerie how accurate it was."Apparently, accurate portrayls of killers are not what some people want. Probably too sqeamish. Rather Samuel L. Jackson mercilessly killing defenseless people, being portrayed as a cool guy, saying witty things, then riding off into the sunset like David Carradine, holding a wad of cash, with nary a negative consequence, is a o'kay.

Well, some people just are squeamish about the truth. I don't hold it against them--there are some realities I'd rather remain blissfully ignorant of--but the fact remains that Scorcese's portrayal of the Queens mob at the time was incredibly accurate. If people don't like the so-called mythologizing of killers (which it most certainly isn't, if you watch carefully enough), then just don't watch it. There are plenty of alternatives.
