The son of a New York mob boss has given Islamic State a stark warning, saying if they are planning any attacks in New York, they will have to contend with the Sicilian mafia. The notorious crime syndicate say they want to do their bit to protect locals.
Giovanni Gambino, the son of a key figure in the Gambino mob organization, says the mafia is in a much better position than security bodies, such as the FBI or Homeland Security, to give New Yorkers the protection they need.
“They often act too late, or fail to see a complete picture of what's happening due to a lack of ‘human intelligence,’†he said in an interview with NBC News, as cited by Reuters, adding that the mafia’s knowledge of individual movements and interaction with locals gives it the upper hand, even compared to the latest surveillance technologies.
Gambino, who is trying to carve out a career as a Hollywood screenwriter, says that, following the horrendous terror attacks in Paris on November 13, protection is more important than ever.

You're talking about the Italian mafia. We also have the RUSSIAN mafia, and they make the Italian mafia look like a bunch of schoolboys. I wonder if THEY would take part in any moves against ISIS.

A little history: the mob kept the Nazis out of the docks in NYC during WWII. Not saying they are or were good guys, but they did good there.

For what is a man, what has he got?
If not himself, then he has naught
To say the things he truly feels and not the words of one who kneels
The record shows I took the blows and did it my way!
Yes, it was my way
Major Strasser: Are you one of those people who cannot imagine the Germans in their beloved Paris?
Rick: It's not particularly my beloved Paris.
Heinz: Can you imagine us in London?
Rick: When you get there, ask me!
Captain Renault: Hmmh! Diplomatist!
Major Strasser: How about New York?
Rick: Well there are certain sections of New York, Major, that I wouldn't advise you to try to invade.
Trump mentioned in one of his speeches that he was playing blocks as a toddler listening to his father deal with NYC plumbers and electricians on the phone. In the book THE TRUMPS. It mentions that his dad taught him to deal with various ethic trade groups and mentioned that the electrician and plumbers were mop controlled. The cement contractor that his dad paid $1,000,000 when he owed him $900,000 Trump continued to use (even poured cement for Trump Tower ). Was a well known mobster.
They did a pretty lousy job until the mafia decided to take over their operation in our town - once they took over there was actual protection in force and they put word out that anyone making them look bad by robbing their customers would not only end up looking bad themselves, but would also have serious problems with their kneecaps....

Obama doesn’t rank on my list.
The sequel to "Cowboys & Aliens" ?
I’ve heard rumors that mob protection in NYC is cheaper than NYC taxes and FAR more effective than police protection because they seriously injure anyone who violates their protection.
Of course, failure to pay also carries a nasty price.
Failure to pay the gummint can also carry a nasty price ...
The Swiss Guards are extremely well-trained bad a$$es.
Sicilians are also Catholic.
Gnome sayin?
