What happened to the Westies that I saw in the movie: State of Grace?/Just Asking - seoul62........

The Westies were a strong-arm and murder for hire bunch of Irish thugs from Hell's Kitchen. They were never very organized or large in number. They were cruel and cold-blooded.

The whole OC scene in NYC changed over the past few decades and the families who hired the westies for piece work are much more 'legit'. Add to this the fact that Hell's Kitchen has been 'gentrified' and you have another lost piece of the old days puzzle.
