The start of the violence
When he was in school, being only fourteen years old, he hit a female
teacher and got himself expelled. He didn't want to go back to school because
his family was poor and he wanted to help them make a better life so he got
different jobs around Brooklyn, such as working in a candy store or in the local
bowling alley (4). He was a hard worker and did what it took to make more money
for his family. When he worked in a bar a little while later he met Johnny Torrio,
who was his boss. He was a ganster, who was a major influence of Al. He was
the one who got him started with all of the gang violence.
