Well, there was a syrian family, and a lebonese family, they werent as structured as anything from the north east, but they had their hand in a lot of stuff. There were several car bombings, there were actually 2 about 1 block from parents house (I wasnt born yet). The FBI cracked down though, and there are no lebonese/syrians w/ any power anymore. 99% of the Italians went legit, at least legit enough to not bring any heat, and the 1% of the guys who didnt are in and out of jail/degenerates and basically looked down upon.

Interesting. I did not know that. When I first saw it, I thought you'd made a typo. Thanks!
