    Are you serious? There are “icons” from that era known for their violence and “spectacle”.

    Bonnie & Clyde; Baby face Nelson; Al Capone; John Dillenger; Machine Gun Kelly (before his singing career)

    FFS - MACHINE GUN KELLY!

    These people were horrible and killed a lot of non-gang members.

    “Newsreels from the period chronicled the violence. In one from 1931, footage shot in New York shows walls along a city street pockmarked with bullet holes, and the children caught in the crossfire of gang warfare.”
