thanks for filling in on this hair cuttery cunundrum. A big
problem, as always, is the media portrayal. The cops are always
easy marks for the news media - and sometimes they do make it
just TOO easy. I'm glad that some of the barber shops are doing
community outreach - back in Jersey, barbershops weren't
mafia/club/drug/etc fronts (that I knew of) but odd "supply"
shops would be. "Pool table supply" "Film reels" - all
questionable B2B shops whose doors were never open. Oh, and
butcher shops of course, especially when all the cars parked
outside had NY license plates on it. But that was
american-italian org. crime rather than american-black org.
crime. "
