The outfit seems like more of a suburban operation mostly involved with gambling and loansharking which to be honest isnt going to attract any competition, there sort of lucky in that sense that no other group has any large interest in gambling or loansharking otherwise there status might have been extinct a long time ago. The street gangs control most of the drug trade and big drug markets in chicago with the mexicans or whoever supplying. As far as polictical connections read this article. http://www.chicagomag.com/Chicago-Magazine/January-2012/Gangs-and-Politicians-An-Unholy-Alliance/ It most certainly attracts competition. The competition just can't do anything about it. There are plenty of minority street gangs trying to beef with them over gambling/prostitution/drug sales out in stone/Melrose/Elmwood park, along mannheim road & Harlem ave, and other outfit controlled areas. Those neighbourhoods are just too outfit-heavy/heavily Italian. Keep in mind that the Outfit 100% controls law enforcement in: Elmwood park, Melrose park, stone park, Cicero, Berwyn, Westchester, darien, river grove, oak park, Lombard, Chicago heights, island lake, & several other suburbs. Even if the African/Hispanic street gangs wanted to infiltrate the underworld of those areas (we are talking HUGE areas, putting all of those towns together), they would have never been able to make more than a dent, at best paying a street boss tax to operate out of there. Chicago is hyper segregated, the gangs control their own areas. Why would the outfit desire control over blown out crack hole neighbourhoods?

Well whether it was or wasn't, comparing the two is futile & ridiculous. Organized crime does not work like the NFL. The Outfit is better off & more powerful without competition. They never had any to begin with.

honestly the thread about dickienoses green shit is more entertaining than six pages of praising and worshipping a few old farts in chicago for masterminding a vast multi million dollar criminal enterprise.lol. I don't think any of this was meant to be entertaining. If that's what you're looking for, I'd stick to threads about the loud mouthed goofball primadonna dives out east  I also don't see any "worshipping of old farts) going on. Care to elaborate? You can believe what you'd like, obviously, no one is trying to convince you personally of anything. If you're going by what the feds "know", you're going off of "facts" that they've contributed that have been proven to be incorrect on many different occasions. Once again, it is what it is.

dont like american football?you even from chicago? or america? Well I was born in southeast Sicily but have been in Chicago since I was about 7. We grew up on basketball, soccer, and dutch style kickboxing. I appreciate & respect American football, I just wasn't raised on it, so i can't get into it wholeheartedly. Even upon moving to the states, we didn't watch it in the household

I knew there had to be something off about you. No lika americana futobala?lol Anyway, I wasn't trying to be stupid (although I did have to look up what derp meant). Just trying to understand why Chicago guys seem to think there is more going on with the Outfit then there actually is? I have noticed a trend. Not just you. I was hoping you can explain where it comes from. I follow philly the closest and think I know a lot about them thats in and out of the news. But you have never heard me praise them or talk about them being bigger then they actually are. The FBI are on point with the amount of members and there basic activites. But when you talk to a chi town guy they are always talking about how secretive the outfit is and that the FBI doesnt know anything about them. But yet this guy on the internet who lives near Chicago knows more and I am suppose to believe them instead. Buddy, buddy, no one is asking you to believe anything. This whole thread was more or less three Chicago guys shootin the shit, not much else. Ever think that you notice this trend because (gasp!) there may be some truth to it? I don't think there is a need to talk or gossip about philly, those guys do a good enough job of that themselves. You'll never catch a chicago guy on access Hollywood like a skinny merlino. the fact is, the outfit are certainly the most secretive group, this is not debatable. The feds are completely unreliable when it comes to the outfit, I don't know what is so difficult for you to grasp about this. Just because the clowns out in philly shit where they eat and walk with their nuts out doesn't mean Chicago is like that. The ideals & traditions are extremely different here. Being flashy & flamboyant is considered cowardly & shameful

Well I agree with you as far as the ones who come for over there. But as far as having children and involving them in sports within the community and what not they don't want their children to be left out
