I will never understand why someone would aspire to be looked upon as a gangster. Am I missing something here? Why in hell would a reputation like that be considered cool? Gangsters are not respected or thought well of yet, someone wants to be looked at as "gangsta" & does what they can to enforce they be taken as such. Jesus Christ.
You're too young to remember the musical "Guy & Dolls" which glamorized the male gangsters of the twenties and their female companions. Presented, I believe in the 40s, audiences thought the characters were adorable and hilarious. And they were so thought of by many even in their day in the twenties. By many, they were respected and well thought of.
