Older guy in my neighborhood when I was growing up was supposed to have made a killing selling black market and used tires during the war.

From what I heard, everyone knew who those people were, where they were, and what they were selling.

During a time of war or in a situation of actual law breaking, I would not break the law, and if someone got beat up while doing it, my reaction would be “You mess with the bull, you get the horns”

And I understand, people were looked down on and did get beat up on occasion.
