We need to start deporting the Sicilians

Nah, start with the tiny hat people.

My friend who retired from nopd said they knew most of the Italian restaurants were fronts for money laundering but they were untouchable as they were protected by powerful people.

But they empower the local gangs who have no code or honor so I think they are indirectly responsible for the shithole NOla has become

Eaaassssyy there..... my great, great, grandparents arrived to America on a boat from Sicily!!
No organized crime for this ole baw!

I'm Sicilian on my father's side. Just hard working, play by the rules people. Devout Catholics

The Italian mafia at least had the decency to have a code of conduct and do a pretty good job of holding each other to it.

I know they came when we had lax immigration rules but most of the big money crimes in New Orleans can be traced back to the Sicilian families that have somehow gone under the radar.

Back in the early 1900s I would’ve probably agreed with you. There were major riots about it at the time actually if you care to look into it.

However since it’s 2026 were probably better served focusing on the illegals who’ve disrupted entire states and the crime that’s endemic for native born communities across the south the vast majority of which has absolutely nothing to do with Sicilians or Italian mob crime.

Now if you’d like to have a real statistics driven conversation about which communities are driving crime im more than willing but you might not like where the data takes us.

I never said it was a moral code of conduct, but at least the victims aren't usually random.
