A gang is whatever the police decide a gang is. And they've used much less criteria to determine that a group is a gang than the criteria that could be applied to these peckerwoods. Selling drugs. Murder. A claimed namesake. That would be enough for any group of minorities to be considered a gang.


"...the successful annihilation of organized crime's subculture in America would rock the 'legitimate' world's foundation, which would ultimately force fundamental social changes and redistributions of wealth and power in this country. Meyer Lansky's dream was to bond the two worlds together so that one could not survive without the other." - Dan E. Moldea
