Gambling as part of an organized criminal enterprise.
Thank God America isn't Amsterdam. (Yet)
Amsterdam is a quaint little village compared to most big cities in the USA. And dont get me wrong, I love your country and have actually visited. Unlike you, who I bet has never even set foot in Europe and never will.
For someone who is always ranting about the facts on all the forums you are quick to judge about a subject you know next to nothing about.
But that's another subject and I don't want to hijack this thread. I never even post here but I got my Tapatalk mixed up after a evening out and some beers in Amsterdam. Something Ivy would propably frown upon too [emoji16] .
You guys did build a very nice forum over here btw. To bad both 'sides' cant just come together because of some stupid Internet bullshit from the past.
Wait...what subject do I know next to nothing about? Amsterdam? I know it's the epitome of Western European excess and indulgence.
Nope it really isn't and yeah you know next to nothing about this subject. But again, this really isn't the thread or place to get into that discussion. Maybe stick to the subjects you've actually researched and know about, not the subjects you have some holier than thou deranged opinion of.

Maybe not by your standards. And it's not just the pot and legalized prostitution and casino gambling in Amsterdam itself. It's the permissive attitude to vice and weak approach to crime in general, seen throughout most of Western Europe, that I'm talking about. Not one of them has the death penalty, for example.
And this is pertinent to the thread as far as what kind of sentences mobsters like the Pernas deserve. For societies who actually want to take organized crime seriously, and have adequate laws and punishment to combat it, friggin' Amsterdam or the rest of Western Europe isn't exactly the place to look for a successful model.
See, you really don't now anything about my values. And btw, I do agree with you that the death penalty is something that we definitely could use around here, especially since our spineless leaders have decided that it's a good idea to let in millions of sandapes who hate us and everything we stand for.
My point is, I've visited the US a lot but I don't pretend to really understand or know the country. I'm not American so that will never happen. You however feel you know everything about a place you've never been because you've already formed this warped view of 'Western Europe' in your head.
That being said, I realise you and me getting into a pissing contest over values and the differences between Salt Lake city and Amsterdam is probably not really gonna go anywhere [emoji38] .
