Detroit makes the DeCav's with it's 40 or so active guys look like fuckin' Napoleon's army.
So those are pretty active then? I was under the impression that although there were 40ish made guys still in existence, they were all retired, in jail, or doing really penny-ante shit like the one acting boss guy who extorted a pizzeria with a baseball bat a while back.
Based on the location of the DeCavalcante's and their closeness with the strongest families in the United States, I'd say yeah, Detroit makes New Jersey look like an army. Neither one of which is strong to begin with. With that analogy and the decline of the independent New Jersey family, one can assume on the very, very small size of any LCN, whatever it may be that's left in Detroit.
