But what im saying is on the street in this day and age when it comes down to it they are on the same level as most other groups


i dont think so, they are still above the others since more sophisticated and entrenched
on the contrary of other groups that are involved in petty crimes only they have still deals (although much less than the past) in unions, waste disposal, buildings,transports, ports, fruit and fishes markets, politics etc.
i think they are still above the others by far, they were not reduced at the same level of eurasian, balkan groups or street gangs
