the younger guys is trying to bring the old days back as far as tradition goes as well as keeping the new generation clean and actually making hits before getting straightend out so ...and thats going benefit for years to come if it happens but you never know
Bad idea.
The New York families have pretty much adopted a "kill only when absolutely necessary" attitude over the past ten or so years, and it's the main reason that they're still around. It's just too hard to beat murder charges today. And without a "murder in furtherance of racketeering" charge tacked on to an indictment, it's allowing guys like Barney and Stevie to take pleas when necessary. And those plea deals just wouldn't be there if bodies were turning up left and right like they were years ago.
Bottome line, the Feds will turn a blind eye to certain things (believe it or not) if people aren't getting killed all the time. For the mob to survive, they have to kill less, not more. Even if they only whack one guy every ten years, the message still gets out. Because, really, who wants to be that one guy?
