True, but that wasn't always the case (even though that's how it's largely been during your short lifetime). And it's not that they're kinder and gentler today. It's just that they're more pragmatic. If they could still get away with killing each other, bodies would still be dropping like flies.


And yet I GUARANTEE you're going to eventually see more of it. Soon as some guy gets pinched in an overseas heroin deal that's even marginally tied to a Middle Eastern terror cell, bam, that's gonna be it. They're going to indict Italian American mob guys under the terror statutes. They're already sentencing guys as such (case in point, Basciano).
