When 3, 18 year olds can start a new gang when the rest of their old gang gets arrested? Yes.

I don't know what pivot you're attempting, but I was speaking of the mafia, which OP asked, and not whatever bullshite you're trying here.

We have the technology to stop gang violence.

We could know when and where all these people are and what they are doing. Its just violating personal liberties which should be stripped away IMO the moment you commit a violent crime. Would at a minimum stop 2nd time offenders.

No one has even attempted to fix the culture problem. Not even a little. That’s the problem.

The problem is that the culture problem can't be fixed by arrests. Honor based cultures are literally created by people who believe they are ignored or targeted by law enforcement. Now, before people start crying: no, I'm not saying you shouldn't arrest people who commit crimes. What I'm saying is that if you want to change the culture, that's a completely separate goal with completely different methods to get there.

I’m giving you examples dumb arse. Not a pivot.

Here’s another example. How did they clean up NYC in the 90s. That was similar “disorganized” crime like you are talking about.


Just enforce laws and have harsher punishments. Stop and frisk.

Boom NYC is clean. It’s way easier than you think. Our leadership has never attempted to lift a finger to fix it.

The entire country changed from the hellscape that was 1975-1995.

Crime was going down before Rudy became mayor and nothing he did had a major impact. Crime went down in NYC and literally everywhere else. Rudy did nothing special. It's a myth created by prisoners of the moment who were simply never corrected decades later.

Mafia needs to make a comeback. Clean shite up
If you mean la costra nosa, their objective is to send money to the top so it comes back down. They have no business in the areas where the thugs live, because there isn't any, so there wouldn't be any cleaning up. Fact is, evil is evil and the Lord sees it all.

Stop and frisk people at the mall. That element will be gone faster than a fart in the wind.

We are too soft to do what’s necessary it’s that simple.

I said in the 90s buddy

Did the crime rate go down yes or no?

I bet you don’t respond.

But thanks for proving my point. Crime is back because they go soft on crime again.

There are still some things that can be learned from El Salvador.

There can be a happy medium between full authoritarian and suicidal empathy state.

Crime is way fricking down, almost everywhere, just so everyone knows.

And it's nothing like the hellscape that was 1975-1995

That’s a great graph buddy.

No one gives a shite our thinks that everything is ok in metro areas. We see it every day. There is gang violence and shootings at LSU games and the mall. No one cares about your graph.
