True , but street gangs much more. Just a bunch of low lives, im not saying mafia members are not low lives,they are. But street gangs are worst scum around,most of them earn some petty money and are happy if they get to live 25+ years.
Most mobsters are only earning petty money, too. Wiseguys and gang members increasingly resemble each other by the day.
"...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
