obviously they live on the threat of violence BUT that doesn't mean they're violent. now my question is have mobsters mellowed out? like calmed down? something you don't hear about today are the mobsters like joey gallo, vito genovese, albert anastasia,nicky scarfo, benny siegel, al capone sam giancana, mad sam and the ant spilotro. has the way the mob operates died out? or is it because more violent groups took there place? or is it because of the media focus on gangs rather than organized crime has changed?
the threat is enough and in alot of cases it easier to shelve someone. There has still been mob violence look at the Christopher Mignone who got whacked or randy pizzolo or anthony seccifico or lawrence ricci or that gambino drug dealer who got whacked or Frank Lagano or Rudolph "Rudy" Izzi or jerome the blade or anthony zizzo or johnny gongs or Patrick Squillante
the list goes on when a hit is needed it will get done but like the guy above said the fear is enough its why the genovese, gambino and lucheses families are doing the best since the 90s and even the other families are beginning to feel less heat and are beginning to rebuild but long term they will fuck it up they always do
