I was responding to a post that said under Scarfo there were 4 crews and now there are 7
And in that 7 they didn't list Florida at all.

From what I read Skinny had a crew in Fl

As for quality I think across the board quality will.never be close to what it was.

Whether in NYC, Detroit or Philly.

If you read anything that Sonny Girard wrote he breaks that down better than anyone I have seen.

Past generations that came.from Sicily living conditions were so ruff that jail wasn't too far off.

Growing up in that environment produces a certain tuffness you become conditioned to be a certain way.
In the Italian ghetto's growing up was very tuff.
With few options to get out of that environment.

LCN back then for alot of guys in the Italian ghetto was the least path of resistance.

Today's generation for the most part are Americanized SPOILED.

In the ghetto you grew up fighting everyday now that environment does not exist.

For Italians anyway.

Bensonhurst brooklyn.in the 80's and 90's it was like the wild west very often bodies were left in the street for everyone to see, if you get out of line that could happen to you.
Or a guy would disappear and that was that.

Nowadays for the most part in America that's just not how it is.

The old guard is gone forever guys like Sonny Franzese etc.
You may get a guy here and there that is old school but that is more the exception than the norm.
In my opinion.
