Now there a a bloviation of epic proportions.
Protection rackets require the murder of innocent small business people both to establish, and to maintain. That is a constant no matter who is running them. Both the Italians and the Irish ran prostitution rackets, and never has there been enough voluntary participation to meet the demand. By the way. Syphilis was incurable, and gonorrhea only somtimes curable. Even if prostitutes weren’t eventually murdered for trying to escape the business (which tended to give other prostitutes ideas) they often died from those diseases. or stroke. Or crappy forced abortions.
I’m sorry setter. You seem to be confused.
I wasn’t talking about sanitized gangsters from Hollywood movies and pulp novels. I was instead referring to real life brutal crime organizations.

The mafia never would have gunned down innocent people. Show me the mass graves in NY of hundreds, thousands of people massacred.
To say the Mafia and Irish gangs are no different than the cartels is laughable.
The mafia had strict codes. IF they killed someone the family of the victim was never to see it.
