ORGANIZED
The Italian “Four Families” won the war that happened five years ago between them and the other crime syndicates, and have seized control of most of the assets of those families, making them the true power. Within the four Italian family hierarchy are the Pieranelli’s, by far the most powerful Italian crime family on the West Coast. With the other crime syndicates vaporized or having retreated from California, and with five years of consolidation having already taken place, Vincent Pieranelli, the head of the family and considered the “Big Don” by everybody, has led the organized crime organization to new heights of profitability. Vincent “Big Don” is only thirty-five, but is a genius at business and strategy. The Pieranelli family owns and runs Entertainment Conglomerate, Inc. which has major holdings of every entertainment media, including half the news broadcasts on the air in California. He widely used the news to uncover corruption of officials owned by the Four Families’ rivals, and then replaced those people with puppets of his own. Thus the Pieranelli’s are never endangered by law enforcement, which has mostly gone the way of corruption.
THE GANGS
An individual known currently only as “Unionizer” has done something very scary. Apparently a huge fan of the movie “The Warriors” Unionizer has successfully done what that movie’s early premise called for: A total alliance between the gangs. It is rumored that Unionizer is actually the leader of either the Crips or the Bloods, but it was those two gangs formalizing a truce, unheard of previously, that sparked all of the rest of the gangs to be approached individually by Unionizer and to agree to be part of the alliance.
This is a very recent development, and the police are frightened out of their wits by it. Even more frightening is that the gangs have broken off their affiliations with the Four Families, and the peace brought about by Vincent Pieranelli by conquering all of the other syndicates may come to a bloody halt soon if the unified gangs aren’t quickly brought under control.
Nobody seems to know who Unionizer is, or what his exact agenda may be. Even when law enforcement captured high ranking members of gangs, nobody has claimed to have ever met Unionizer or know anything about him.
But it is evident that he clearly exists and is leading the alliance of gangs. What happens next, remains to be seen.
