“I moved to NJ from the Midwest for my first job. The week after I moved in there was a big hit on some top mob guys walking out of a restaurant in NYC and hit by machine guns. I suppose lots of folks are on the take in NYC.”
I lived in New Jersey 9 months, just across the river from NYC. In that time 3 major crime bosses were murdered, never mind the lesser ones. I doubt any of that made the news outside the area. I live in Las Vegas now and you can be sure little of the crime here is reported. Can’t scare the tourists.... The majority of the world lives on bribes.
The fellow at customs stopped him cold ~ handed his passport back unstamped and told him that now that he was a US citizen he needed to put a $20 bill in there ~ that $10 just wasn't enough.
