Eh i know philly is still la cosa nostra but they are not even close to being in the same league as maybe a family like the genovese in terms of respect and rules would be my theory and potential fact.
This is not a knock on Philly. But you can rest assured, that if anyone raised their hands to the skinny guy, the guy in Country Club, or anyone else in the Westside administration, that they'd end up just as dead as guys who did it thirty years go. And I personally don't know anyone deader than that.
Murders are way down for all of the reasons that we've talked about in other threads recently. But there are still ways to get yourself killed. Being a complete fucking idiot and laying your hands on a Genovese or Gambino administration guy is a good way to start.
