    If I’m gonna be robbed and murdered in the street, I’d rather it be by Tommy Shelby than some black dude with shitty tattoos who listens to rap

      Yeah, definitely. But the classic gangsters are still a heck of a lot cooler.

    You're comparing "gang bangers" to organized crime gangs. If you think every street thug in the 1920s were the dapper "EY AM WALKIN' 'ERE!" Chicago town cliché then ok lol.

        Or an Italian who got cut off crossing the street.

        It’s got nothing to do with old timey mobsters lol.

    That’s a myth. They were just as ruthless and violent as today. Nobody should like lawlessness.

      Arguably more frightening than today, since they used Tommy guns instead of pistols. They're the reason why automatic firearms are illegal for civilian-use today.
