Does anyone else find it hilarious how did the "all mighty" mafia clamorously lose the war to the Cuckoo gang in St.Louis during Prohibition? (just have been re-reading some parts of the book "Gangs of St.Louis). This is as if Tony Accardo had to kick up protection money to the Latin Kings or one of the Five Families recognizing the supremacy of Bloods or Crips. I mean, even though the mafia in St.Louis wasn't as strong as New York or Chicago, yet still a well organized and solid group being unable to do anything about a brainless street gang (or better to say, with their brains all situated in their guns) was quite humiliating for the mafia I think.
Willie Marfeo to Henry Tameleo:
1) "You people want a loaf of bread and you throw the crumbs back. Well, fuck you. I ain't closing down."
2) "Get out of here, old man. Go tell Raymond to go shit in his hat. We're not giving you anything."
