Glad you liked it - I thought it was the worst kind of cartoon ever made, especially with the awful makeup and mannerisms of Sean Penn. James Cagney and Robert Mitchum made gangster pics . . . This was like a 2 hour long crapfest - should have gone straight to video.

When a movie has a conservative bent, the same old, same old critics always pan it. One more reason we need a real conservative newspaper chain...

In researching my book on Harry Reid I came across possible long chain leads to the California mob. But it fits your thesis, they were known as the Mickey Mouse Mafia. Jimmy the Weasle Fratiano and Bompensiero are two key people, there are a couple others.

Sorry. I won’t do anything that would put a single penny in Sean Penn’s pocket.

Then along came Police Chief Daryl Gates. What do you base that on? Darryl Gates was the Chief of Police from 1978 to 1992 and he was never accused of being corrupt. The accusation against him (by liberals) was that the LAPD was brutal. If you talk to anyone who is in the LAPD, they will tell you that Chief Gates was a good chief of police and the last of the old school leaders of the LAPD.

Below is a link to an interesting article on Chief Parker . I've included an excerpt about how the LAPD dealt with mobsters who tried to come into LA:
LAPD's Intelligence Squad tracked Mafia movements on a national level, and regularly met incoming mobsters, or their goons, at the airport, where they would savagely beat them, then place them on the next flight out. Parker was adamant that the Mafia would not gain a foothold in LA, and he succeeded in his efforts. In 1965, it was estimated that there were only 30 Mafiosa in the city, and most of those were retired.
Here is another interesting section about the Bloody Christmas scandal:
In 1951, on Christmas Eve, Parker faced his first major challenge. Seven Mexican American were severely beaten at Central Station in Lincoln Heights by dozens of officers. When the story broke, known as Bloody Christmas, a grand jury investigation was called, and Parker took charge of the investigation. Over 450 cops were interviewed, and ultimately, four went to jail, two were fired and thirty six had official reprimands placed in their files. Parker confirmed what the rank and file, as well as the upper echelons, already knew: he wasn't running a popularity contest.

Hey, much less collateral damage with the mob. The Latin and black gangs of L.A. kill more innocents.

You presume incorrectly that it is an either/or situation. Talk to the good citizens of Chicago and you will learn that it is more than possible to have the worst of both worlds:
Chicago murders top Afghanistan death toll

I’ll have to check that movie out.
LA started digging the current crater which it sits when tptb acquiesced to distorted media pressure and got rid of Chief Gates.
