In plane words, they didn’t care much about getting respect from individuals from higher circles of society because first of all, they never belonged in those circles and some of them grew up while hating those same circles. They were the ones who used to pull dirty jobs and they were the ones who were in constant contact with their street level members, obviously because of their same level of criminal mentality. The first group didn’t want to disrupt their quite lucrative rackets which were the main financial fuel for the organization and above all, their private pockets, but the problem was that in those days the “street guys” or the more violent types were usually on the top of the hill and they wanted everything. The problem was between the crime bosses, meaning the corruptors and gamblers against the so-called “street” guys. In reality, there was no “clean” or “dirty” business, since everything they did was considered illegal and so every opportunity for the gangsters was opened. Story goes that some of the top crime bosses wanted to keep their public image “clean”, meaning they didn’t want themselves or any of their underlings being caught in the act of doing the “dirty” business. My point here is that back in the old days, these guys allegedly had rules on which illegal racket was “operative” and which was not. and as for the so-called “dirty” business, mostly considered were narcotics and white slavery of underage girls. Under “clean” there was extortion, prostitution, illegal gambling, political corruption, loan sharking, forgery, burglary etc. Yes, the Mafia allegedly used to have its own “clean” and “dirty” businesses. By “everything” I also meant including the “dirty” business. Now, some of these guys who made a lot of money, besides their prime schemes, they also dealt in everything and kept money on the side. These types of individuals are born for breaking the rules and they love doing it, so what’s the point of giving these guys the list of rules, right?! In other words, if these individuals followed some rules and regulations, I believe that all of them would’ve ended up been legitimate businessmen instead of bloodthirsty criminals. If the guy, who is wrong, kicks up more cash to the boss, well usually he gets a pass. For example, if two guys had a problem between each other and if the one guy was wrong and the other one right, sometimes the one who was right was going to get killed. Mob I came to a conclusion that the problem is that these rules sometimes meant only for certain members, or for certain situations and even certain operations, meaning they were quite broken. Now, you would ask yourself on what’s the problem here? Well, during my research on the U.S. The problem is that most of these rules are allegedly meant for the organization’s structure, obedience towards the high level members, mutual respect between the midlevel and lower level members etc. Rules such as don’t screw your “colleague’s” wife or girlfriend or don’t speak to the police, or in general, no spilling secrets and no killing bosses. For example, America's “Cosa Nostra” or the Italian Mafia always cares some sort of rules, just to keep the members in line. High level criminals, who belong to already existing organized crime groups, make money by doing illegal activities but they operate under certain rules which are transferred from member to member. It is also quite debatable subject and so my point is that I’am opened to any kind of different opinions and disagreements from you guys. What’s up fellas?! I’m back with another quite long story, and the main reason for that is the quite interesting subject which is the “all mighty’ narcotics racket but this time, the main “suspect” is again, the Chicago Outfit.
