    I'm from Jersey but from spending time in state prison I've been around a lot of guys that went down to DC and Baltimore down in the 80s and early 90s to sell weight. They said Washington DC was so dangerous. People from DC will shoot way faster than ny or NJ will. And they did not like out of town competition coming down there to get money

    One thing about the old footage when they arrested dealers you never saw anyone that looked like money. The dealers they arrested always looked like they were smoking their own product.

    This brings back memories of living in DC at that time. It was like Gotham before Batman. Parts of the city were so dangerous even the cops avoided those areas. The city has come a long way since then.

      There were the Italians in DC too. As far as LCN goes, I remember reading that the Kansas City family had some dealings in DC. Outside of that, you had independents like Cottone who was a Sicilian gangster that moves a lot of heroin in the DC Area.
