Do you acknowledge the point I put forth when I wrote "When a bank robber or murderer is taken off the streets it's the end of the problem. When a drug dealer is sent to jail there's ten drug dealers fighting to take over the old dealers turf." 102

Secondly, I would appreciate if you could verify what areas organized crime drifted into after the repeal of prohibition.

They didn't "drift" into anything - wars broke out in the mafia ranks leading to new leadership and a new direction including prostitution and the heroin trade mainly.

And unions.

Some other stuff.

as for the other point of discussion---I think I already answered it in 105
