Interesting replies. Funny though as the common perception is that the old school guys are a different calibre of toughness smartness etc. In reality they’re more or less all the same, just in different eras of law enforcement
(massive generalisation I know obviously there are loads of exceptions)
For the most part I agree. It was much easier in the old days because of the lack of law enforcement pressure.
To be a successful street guy today you definitely have to be smart.
Although I think the old timers had a better idea of what cosa nostra was really about.
