Reflection

I can't speak for the rest of the world, but in my opinion learning about gangsters is very interesting. What i mean by gangsters is the old time gangsters, not the ones from today. The old gangsters were a lot "cooler" in my opinion because of they way they operated. During the prohabition era being as it may that alcohol was made illigal there stands the change of people opposed to it, starting up the bootleggers of old. Its just "neat" how they were able to opperate and how bad the security was back then! For my group during the small group presentations we were give "Baby-Face Nelson" who, indeed, was very interesting character. learning some of the things about him, you sit down and think to yourself, this guy was a BAD dude. learning some interesting facts such as when babyface was around during his sort of "harrasment times" where he was just starting up doing crimes, he would go up to vendors from stores put a gun to their mouth and then say "you need to buy insurance". If they didnt pay it, he would shoot them. If they did pay it he took out his favorite knife, which he had on him at all times, and cut their lip saying "taste that blood? there is alot more where that came from if you back out". That statement is awsome in a way yet you can see this was one bad guy. Another interesting fact was when he was 12 he shot a kid in the jaw with a pistol (on acedent supposedly). Still its plain for me to see that learing stuff like that will keep you focused on what is happoning. I very much loved this small project.
