I know nowadays they aren't as prevailent as they have been, but would you ever see the Sopranos style gangster walking around the city?
Did you even talk to any of them?
Did they ever try to pick a fight with you?
I've always been curious how they fit into the city since watching that show
Its crazy how the cops know whos bosses and members of every family of gangsters and know what they're up to, but they can't do a thing about it until they're caught red handed.

I could always tell when I lived on Long Island. Maybe it's more obvious there. They'd drive around in black Escalades and other black fancy cars, and wear suits even outside of work.

Yeap, they are still in the city, in the 2008 big raid of 62 arrest, most of them were from Brooklyn and Staten Island.

Yea.. they're there, but you would never be able to tell the difference between a mafioso and a regular italian. The Mafia has been on the decline for a while though..

The mob is as strong as it ever was. It is the dummies who make themselves apparent who end up in jail. The smart ones are the ones at cocktail parties with politicians, judges, and hedge find operators. Their kids are all lawyers.

You pay the mob a tariff with every single truck that rolls along the highways and with every bag of garbage.

The purpose of any secret organization is........secrecy.

Sure I see them all the time--- the problem is upon further examination they are really from Iowa--- you really need to stop going to the movies and watching tv
