Man you are so right. You really have to be around it to understand though. It was just a way of life for a lot of people. Especially the older guys who are long dead some of the guys who were mainly doing shit like making book could be the nicest most solid guys you’d ever meet. A bunch of them never took a serious pinch and the shit they were doing is now legal and the government gets a piece. Payday loans? Plus there used to actually be thousands of wiseguys around. Everybody knew who they were. And most were very well liked.
