I mean like a street gang. In a street gang u could get killed if u wear the wrong color in the wrong neighborhood. In cosa nostra the chances of u gettin killed are not likely. Thier almost like UN.
......You could get for killed being alleged snitch, rival associates, not kicking up in a timely fashion and still face the same chance of being locked up.
You don't get killed for colors , which is grossly misinformed, but general things such as money, camaraderie issues, and snitches in street gangs.
I know that last part cause I been around them. Hell, unlike LCN it's not even a commitment to be a career criminal.
