Just posting some memes that would have hit hard in the 1920s-30s

Note: I’m pretty sure “Don” in the context of the Mafia does indeed start with a capital D

I am totally just putting this out there and not trying to be annoyingly pedantic, just fyi. The AP rule for capitalization in this case is that this is a title, so if we are speaking of a specific don, it would be capitalized but if just a generic don, it would not be capitalized. So a random don, but Don Corleone. Unless there is a source for mafia style that contradicts this standard rule of course.

In a community totally controlled by mafia, killing the don might lead to some grisly repercussions. Or it could be the start of their downfall. You never know

Could also split them into two factions that have a little war between each other with your town as a battlefield.
