The Westies resent being called “Mafia,” too. They regard themselves as freedom fighters for Northern Ireland.
Are there any left?
I actually read that there were a few left even in the past several years.
They only ever had 12 to 20 guys at any given time time, depending how many were in prison.
But they were all complete psychopaths and the FBI went to the Italian mob boss, who had given the Westies permission to make hits on the east side also, and the FBI asked the Italian mob boss to tell the Westies to stop killing so many people
State of Grace is a GREAT movie loosely based on the Westies
Gary Oldman is PHENOMENAL.
