In 1977 Mickey Spillane was killed marking the end of the "gentleman gangster era". He was not as brutal as many other gangsters but was known for kidnapping members of the Italian Mafia and holding them for ransom to raise money for his operations. The Westies were a New York City-based Irish American organized crime gang, responsible for racketeering, drug trafficking, and contract killing. They were partnered with the Italian-American Mafia and operated out of the Hell's Kitchen neighborhood of Manhattan. Absolute Crime is your go-to channel for the best crime documentaries.
