It's neither one. Of course I was in no way taking a shot at Chicago. And I was not trying to point out that Antoinette Giancana was being a money grubbing idiot. Both have absolutely nothing to do what I originally posted.
What I was pointing out is the fact that Anotinette Giancana is being unrealistic in making a statement such as that. To say that the Chicago Mob is a more kinder and gentler Mob than the New York mob is ridiculous. The mob is the mob, no matter where they are.
And for anyone to suggest that the Chicago mob was a less violent mob than ANY other city's mob is just plain ignorant.
Chicago was the home to one of the most famous, notorious and rogue gangsters in the country... Al Capone. And during his reign, there was just as much, if not more, violence commited by him and his enemies than any other city in the country that the mob worked out of.
So it's not an imature "your city is bad and mine isn't" type of sentiment. That's childish bullshit. And anyone who tries to make it into that kind of a discussion is being imature.
Again, my point? That she was talking ridiculously to make a statement like that.
