Honey, before we can do that, the grown-ups have to allow those naughty naughty bad men what we call "due process under the law".

Yes, but even after all the talk, all the lawyering and all the years of legal BS not one of these scumbags will fry. Our justice system is broken.

Yes, but my point is that none of these defendants will get the death penalty. Mobsters are the degenerate scum of the earth, every single one of them should be killed once they're convicted.

You seem to have a fixation with whacking people.

So because he said one thing wasn't racist basically (by using sarcasm by saying it is), he is saying there is no racism? I suppose at least he brought it up before some genius* like you joined the conversation.

*HINT CRAIG, THAT WAS SARCASM. I DO NOT MEAN THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS A REAL GENIUS.

LOL, welcome to P&N Tristicus. Craig might be 3 times your age, but you are twice as smart as that moron.

The five families alone have thousands of associates. 127 arrests = BFD.

It is a big deal. It's not 'government arrests all of mafia', but consider the man-hours and cost in doing this, when we talk about 'cut all the spending'.

And what if the government didn't do it?

There 127 alleged members, with murders and much more, out hurting people.

It sounds like they arrested all of the major players. They may not have gotten everyone, but I would imagine that this is going to seriously screw up mafia operations.

Also, this is funny:



I bet wall street has a much more negative affect on the economy than the mafia does. White collar crime FTL.

The excuse for treating them so lightly is that they never physically rob, threaten, or kill people. I wonder on the other hand how many suicides Wall Street is responsible for.
