The Purple Gang
Yeah about 70 years ago -- I met a few of the minor members in 1971. Sammy Wolfe and Nicky ''The fish'' a 5' 5" (165) contract hit man -- they were old men then, dead now ...
La Cosa Nostra
Then there was the
Detroit Partnership
My neighbor ( c. 1960 -- 1970) owned a swank Italian restaurant where the Detroit Mob and the Teamsters officers would meet. I wasn't a ''made-man'' just the neighborhood kid. That was in my era.
Today the gangs are gone just two bit crack and meth heads. I am miles from that shit now. If a neighbor starts to get into a heated argument with their wife or kids there are 2 or 3 police cars in the driveway in a few minutes ... Suburbia ...
