Nowadays with LCN making it top priority to operate under the radar and with an all time low of police and political protection. HYPOTHETICALLY, let's say Cali or Barney got hit by other elements of OC, Latin American Gangs or Eastern European OC or whatever. You would have to think they would go to the mattresses even in todays day and age no? I mean under all the circumstances how could they not retaliate. Any way, your thoughts on what you think would happen. This is purely Hypothetical of course.

The Mob really doesn't engage in the same type of rackets as cartels. Save for maybe running peripheral to Cartels/ street gangs when it comes to prostitution. Neither party really has a good reason to go after the other.

As far as the Mexican and Latin American cartels go, are you really serious? If for example,the Zetas wanted to "take on" the Mafia,they would encounter little if any resistance. Mainly because after the Zetas grabbed a Boss,and maybe a couple of Capos,machine gunned them to death,and stuck their severed heads in their mailboxes,the rest of the Family would probably get the message. Even the smallest drug cartels have thousands of available killers ranging from war weary veterans with hundreds of bodies, to 13 year olds who will cut loose with an automatic rifle in the hopes of getting a cool nickname,and maybe a nice watch.

Well I figured this would happen. I hoped by the lingo I used uz would understand this ain't no 12 yr old kid and I never said What would happen if "Chapo Guzman killed Barney Bellomo" like a fuckin retard. I said IF a boss was whacked by members of other ethnic groups of OC, would they retaliate? Could be a rogue member or could be an official order, I'm more concerned with the reaction. Like I said this is purely HYPOTHETICAL. I understand there is a 99.9% chance something like this would never happen, but I really want to think IF in todays day an age, who the fuck knows it could a total accident, but IF! this happened, what would be the reaction.
In the 1920's and 30's probably up to the 80's, I could see an all out war, but nowadays really? The camaraderie was there but I dunno if today it's REALLY the same in terms of life or death but maybe in that instance it would be more plausible.
And to all those who automatically picked the cartel, remember, this is New York. Italian OC been running things before "I had hair on my pretzel".
Now instead of bashing how ridiculous this question is, which it is to a certain extent I fully admit, go the other way, what you think would happen. Would all the families come together? Would the other groups have their people killed and cut their losses or Would it really be the end of LCN? Would the hit squads be called off and peace made. Remember I said Barney and Cali, they are the crème de la crème right now, so the two biggest families. So please let's use the part of the brain called the imagination and use it in a realistic fashion.
...Happy Thanksgivin to all.
