From Prohibition to a clueless FBI to everything else. It was the perfect storm, and it just can't happen today.



The mafia also controlled unions, pension funds, casino's, cops, and judges. Can you imagine some black gang member trying to take over a union..lol how bout a black gang infiltrating a pension fund. We would see dinosaurs roaming the earth and talking before that would ever happen, and thats if they even knew what a pension fund was.
As for violence, most successful, long lasting wiseguys use it as a last resort.
