When you take a look at how Scarpa got a kid killed for throwing eggs at his son's car in the 80's and now 30 years later a street gang is free to terrorize and make 100 attempted hits at a supposed high ranking associate, it shows how much things have changed.
If you do something like that today,doesn't matter how powerful you are, you are a fool , and risking your current position & situation. You must remember that LCN is still strongest organized crime group in US, and they care only about the money , they were ready to whack a bunch of Albanians when that thing with Rudaj happened back in 2000's, and today families are doing much than they were in 2000;s
Personally I still have my doubts with the "taking over" theory. I also don't get why the Albanians would hire a black street gang. Albanians certainly got the numbers in The Bronx and any serious Albanian gang usually prefers to handle shit using its own. Then I also always read there was never much love lost between the Albanians, African Americans, Dominicans and Puerto Ricans in The Bronx.
