Anyone here grow up in Boston when he was there? What was it like?
I ask because I grew up with the Italian Mob. Watched all the sons take the fall for the fathers in the 80's. Went to school with grandsons of guys. You could not touch them. RULES. They got away with whatever they wanted to.
They popped Mad Dog Sullivan here. We had an a crew and a b crew. Always warring. Car bombs. Shots outs in public locations. Innocents got killed.
But really, no one was worried all that much. People just gave the Italians wide berth if they looked like they were mob. They did not hide they were. You could tell. Except the old guys. They always looked sort of poor. Never dressed up.
Sorry. I am in Rochester. You know they place no one ever heard of but everyone has heard of. I can start with Kodak and just list 100's down the line. You seen the name and paid no attention. Like French's mustard? Drink Jolt Cola? No where Xerox is? Like I said, the place no one ever heard of.

If you read the above you may understand why the blacks had more stringent rules on the street. Those guys knew about chock holds 50 years before the Gracies.
It was worse in the 70's. I only heard stories because I was to young.
