Were the wastes overrated as a gang? They don't seem to have been that highly organized to me. I always get the impression that they were free to come and go as they pleased, with the exception of a handful closest to the leaders of the eras they covered.
They definetly werent an organized gang BUT they were extremely dangerous. Guys like mickey featherstone and Eddie Kaminsky killed for nothing. They became affiliated with the Gambinos through roy demeo
