Salt of the earth!!
My mom tells me how Carmine Persico (head of one of the crime families) and other gangsters who grew up in her neighborhood were always gentlemen to her and very respectful.
They were still animals and murderers.
But at least the neighborhoods were relatively safe, unless you dealt with the mafia or had to pay them protection!!
They were BAD Guys.
But they understood a destroyed neighborhood and family life was bad for business.
These guys, they don’t seem to get that .
