There's a video of him at one of those 1993 meetings demanding Surenos kick up to la Eme. It's amazing seeing all of those different neighborhoods out there giving him their undivided attention. What these guys could do with that power if they put it to good use. We put so much money and resources into stopping gangs, when these gang leaders could stop the violence on a dime. They just don't want to. Nobody else could ever get that many hard core gang members from different territories to assemble and be peaceful.. Not a priest. Not a celebrity. Certainly not a cop.
"...the successful annihilation of organized crime's subculture in America would rock the 'legitimate' world's foundation, which would ultimately force fundamental social changes and redistributions of wealth and power in this country. Meyer Lansky's dream was to bond the two worlds together so that one could not survive without the other." - Dan E. Moldea
