The Italians are NOT up for, or prepared to protect anyone against the street thugs that control the streets these days. The thugs out there will shoot, you, me a cop or anyone in their way in a second without hesitation. The Italians aren’t in the neighborhoods that will be effected and just don’t have the violence in them to protect anyone. There may be a few that do, but not enough to make a difference. A guy kills Cali in front of his family, nothing happens. Years ago this guy would have been taken out, or a family member would’ve been hit. You kill a boss nothing happens, no way they provide protection like implied above to some store owner being robbed by these street criminals.
