Nice red herring – the piece is about Capone (so when he is exposed you bring up other names). In any case, new research reveals that many of the Prohibition crime figures were deep in crime before Prohibition – so now “libertarians” are madly trying to demonize questioners and critical thinkers.

Its been know for decades that Capone,ect got their start in organized crime,some of these guys were hardened criminals by 14

Nice red herring – the piece is about Capone (so when he is exposed you bring up other names

No red herring just facts,its Prohibition that made the other people, Capone included some of the richest and powerful men in the country

this article just flys in face of historical fact
