If you compare Miami to,say, Newark--a big MAYBE. If you compare Dade County with Union County--we win in a walk; it's not even close. My references include that Sly Stallone movie Copland as well as The Sopranos. Those disorganized Cubano rabble and the crackers in the Dixie Mafia you have vs. Italians/ Russians/ misc. Latinos groups we have?--puh-leeze--spare me. Hell, even our Jewish criminals smoke yours.


You obviously haven't seen Scarface or Cocaine Cowboys I and II :D If you had, you would know where the real criminals are.

The Joisy boys are amateurs compared to the bunch down here.

With all due respect Brother Miamiheller, I strenuously disagree. The NY/NJ criminals have been doing it so long, they don't have a need to and don't "flash". Think of the difference between the Hudson River Valley/ Newport, RI "old money" vs. the "Nouveau Riche" pretenders you've got. If you know about them, they got caught. All we know up here is the garden variety crooks--the real crooks long ago converted their ill-gotten gains to genuine political power and legit investments. Yours (the smarter ones) will catch up in a generation or two but right now--flash and trash to the max.
For the same situation in Mexico, you want to compare the narcotraficantes to Carlos Slim?
BTW, if anybody wants to get a nice crib in Mexico (or maybe a pair of lions for house protection or maybe a leopard-skin Rolex?...), this link tells who to get in touch with:

Be sure to tell your Miami friends about it<<that was cheesy, I know.

As an endcap to this Thread, May I submit the following?
First, an editorial from the WSJ:
http://online.wsj.com/article/SB1000142 ... 65666.html
Next, a full-page essay on this subject--same source. There's a Brother or 2 who may be interested in Lord Cornbury's oh-so-fetching portrait:
http://online.wsj.com/article/SB1000142 ... 38188.html

As an irrelevant side-note, does anybody know why the WSJ's links are so unearthly long?
