I currently live in LA and I'm from DC. While my perception may be incorrect it seems to me that the mobs and more organized crime units have basically been replaced by street gangs (ms 13, bloods, etc.). At this point, the old mobsters have been glorified and people seem to think they were preferable to the new gangs (as though we could just choose between competing proposals). Is such a criminal nostalgia justified or were the old guys actually much worse than the common man realizes?
