I’m reminded of the movie “Fargo” where a mild car salesman hires a couple of thugs to kidnap his wife so he can get money from her father. Before they even get there, the bodies pile up. It ends badly for the innocent people involved. It’s an accurate portrayal of what happens when you get involved with the kind of people who do the things you’re suggesting.

The reason organized crime is “allowed” is they generally only mess with people who seek out their services. They almost never interact with soccer moms or regular people. They don’t, for example, hassle cops, prosecutors or even private lawyers. In exchange, they get to ply their trade amongst the people who borrow their money, buy their drugs, or hire their prostitutes.

There’s a can of worms you don’t want to open.

You're acting like these lawyers are humans.

In 1967, Polish mercenary Rafal Ganowicz was asked what it felt like to take human life, "I wouldn't know, I've only ever killed Communists".

The FX series Fargo is very good. It's about bloody crimes in the upper middle west. Love the accent. Last season was woke with a rogue sheriff but Juno Temple made up for everything.

“There be dragons down there” I beleive one of the killers said to the cop who was about to arrest him.

Pretty good movie.
