Diki, Mafia is a good way to describe some of these guys. Funny thing about this recent event is, the day host of the little restaurant involved is a real "wiseguy"...just spent 14 years in prison (someone was trying to get him to "rat" on the mob)for money-laundering. He looks like Pauley on the Supranos...white hair around the ears and all. These guys had even him rattled.
The way they handle matters really is extortion.
