So is that family finished or are they really that good at staying under the radar?

As a family they are finished. There's still guys operating, just like in Tampa, Cleveland, Buffalo etc.

This isn't good, I heard that something was going on down their. People are lucky these two got caught up. Gag's doesn't play and has a few medals to wear. People aren't happy with the current leadership and it looks like it was tempurpudic time. I'm sure they aren't the only ones gearing for combat it looks like bodies are going to be left in the streets........

They haven't been a viable family for a long time. Handful of made guys left.

Well there you have it. We can all move on. "Tommy Gambino" The Leading Voice/Authority on American organized crime (Which is quite a feat seeing as how he's in England) has decreed That the once powerful New Orleans mob "Is no longer a viable family" because they have only a "Handful of made guys left". It looks like we can put that debate to rest. No word on whether or not "Tommy Gambino"s definition of "Viable Family" matches yours.

YouKnowNothing-No, they are done, seeing as I am from Louisiana and live near Nola, I can tell you FOR A FACT they are done. And a buddy of mine, Who was an Intelligence Officer for the Army when I was an Infantry Officer, is now a FBI agent and has been stationed in BR/Nola for two years and they aren't even investigating "Italian OC" in the state of Louisiana because it is that insignificant, if even existant.

How the fuck do you know they are finished? Like you have any fucking clue about their viability as an organized crime group or lack thereof. It is jackasses like this that spout off like they know something while knowing absolutely zero about what goes on behind closed doors or on the street that make 95% of posters on this site impossible to take seriously.

He's trolling. Everyone one of his posts repeat themselves with him telling people they don't know anything.

And LaLou don't you know, bodies are fixing to drop in NOLA!

Did you guys not hear the news Carlos Marcello is still alive and still in charge there.

Killing- Pre Katrina you had organized street gangs that were drug dealing and robbing people, etc, etc, but after the hurricane what happened was they evacuated the city and a lot of people in lower income areas were bused to neighboring cities like BR, Lafayette, and as far as Houston.

In my opinion it is now very disorganized. For instance, you have ten people that have been shot in the last month on Bourbon St, majority of which were tourists. Now of course street gangs are sitting on these corners selling dope because when tourists come down here they have the mentality that "it's the big easy, and anything goes, Mardi Gras every day!

Now the people that did these shootings weren't part of any OC group or highly sophisticated street gang like MS13 or some of the Chicago and NY street gangs. This is idiot #1 shooting at idiot #2 over a street corner that neither of them can afford to live on (The French Quarter is a very expensive place to "live" IE have a house and stay there 365 a year). So in a traditional turf sense, they are shooting over random street corners that happen to have the busiest bars that particular night of the week. The sad thing about all of this is some poor guy from Iowa who wanted to party ends up getting shot in his ass on Bourbon because people are fighting over which street corner they can sell dope on and not realizing its NOLA, people come down here to get wasted anyways so it doesn't matter where you stand, trust me they will find you if they want to get high!

And of course we run into this "Nola Family is still alive" by probably the biggest pretenders in the country. There are rumors that this pretend family made billions off of the rebuilding of Nola after Katrina. Problem with this argument is that anyone that you meet that claims "to be in the know" can not name one person involved in any of these financial scams. There are guys in NY getting busted all the time for crimes less than this and I refuse to believe there is something in the water down here that makes the Pretend Fairy Nola Family a million times smarter than NY.

durkadurka is history.
