Why is there a picture of John Gotti, when the article quotes John Gambino?
I don’t doubt the ‘60s mob could have protected NYC, but there is little left of the mob any more. Since they are not governed by at least SOME laws, as the NYPD is, yes, they could take care of ISIS, IF the ‘60s mob were still around. After all, they ‘took care’ of a President in the ‘60s.

Although they were distant cousins of family boss Carlo Gambino, they did not owe him allegiance. They were Sicilian Mafiosi, made men from Palermo, whose father had brought the family to New York in 1964. The Gambino brothers ran the Cafe Valentino on 18th Avenue in Bensonhurst, Brooklyn (later renamed as Cafe Giardino).[3] ...”
