Even today the mob has more muscle than they'll ever need, simply because they don't need to be dropping bodies left and right. They trade largely on their reputation and the threat of violence. And there have been enough murders in recent years to show the mob hasn't forgotten how to kill. It's simply an occasional murder here and there. They don't need an army waiting to go to war.


Well said , There are plenty of shooters out there but even more surveillance, and cameras, phones that a hit" has to be perfect down to the very last detail .You can't just grab 3 hot cars now and do a hit ,that car has video of it getting fuel in it 5 days before and the people that were in it and every toll it has seen in 5 years. The world is a very different place to do crimes like the past.
