No shit
I don't think anyone thinks that unless they're a moron
When I say things haven't changed as much as people think
As far as this notion that the outfit isn't engaged in violence
I think we have seen with guys like Calabrese(not frank sr) and carparelli
Is that they do what they have always done as far as gambling and collections
But they are much less obvious than they once were. They still have influence in the teamsters and are still the major player in Chicago as far as video poker and sports betting and also that they have connections to politicians and police and judges and all of these factors in my opinion make them very viable even if they are smaller than they once were
