I don't understand how the mob is able to operate in today's world where you have blanket surveillance of pretty much everything.

I would assume that extortion is down significantly whereas crimes like credit card fraud,  selling medication,  drugs are all uo

A few months ago there was a failed hit on some other daygo on staten island as well. Looks like things are heating up.

Time to go to the mattresses.

I liked his style... old school 

wierd being killed by a guy in a blue pickup, I’m guessing russian types

In this day of mass terrorism and Mexican cartels playing soccer in the streets with human heads the Italian Mafia is almost a quaint throwback 

What does the term "time to go to the mattresses" mean? It was used in the Sopranos as well. I assume it meant to go grab your guns.

Wow! Whens the last time a mob hit of this magnitude happened? 

 My guess is around 9:15PM Eastern lastnight

Last one killed in the city b/c of a hit like this was Paul Castellano (June 1985)

also a Gambino boss

This will start a mob war 

He was dealing heroin and oxy.

Fuck em.

Yes it's a small fraction of what it was but still out there.

Was the pickup truck playing Journey?

Whores, after hour clubs and casinos, protection rackets, credit card numbers. Drugs are still a big push.

i never understood why normal civilians "respected" anybody in the mob

what about his "style" made it so admirable to you?

not trying to be a dick, genuinely curious

these guys are murderers, liars, crooks, etc. they were romanticized by movies, rap music, etc. so maybe that is why people admire gangsters

anytime there is an old timey gangster thread , it is filled with comments about people yearning for the "good ole days", just because they see mobsters wearing suits and hats...like people are actually "nostalgic" for when murderers were more well dressed
