One major thing missing in La Cosa Nostra these days is the fear factor, nobody outside of the mob fears crossing them, and nobody within the mob fears turning on it. The days of vicious, bloodthirsty killers are long gone. And please don't give me this shit about laws being tougher these days, hell multiple murderers like Lepke Buchalter and many others from Murder Incorporated went to the electric chair back in the 1940s, and guys like Carmine Galante, Tommy Pitera, and the Gemini Twins are doing or have done tons of time. So if you plan on going on one of those rants about tougher laws, this thread isn't for you.
I have to agree with you 100 percent on that note.if this were 40 years ago no way would Alites kids be in Howard Beach, Calandra driving a truck in Manhattan or that whole Snitch colony consisting of DiLeonardo,Russo, Romano,etc down in South Florida.tbey would be hiding like Henry Hill in Nebraska, Freddy DiNome and Vinny aocean in Texas or Frank Culotta in Mobile, Alabama
