Paddy whacked : the Irish mob
(DVD or VCD)

"Long before the Mafia, Murder Inc., and the African-American gangster, 'Paddy' was plundering and pilfering the stars and stripes. Once called the 'National Scourge', 'The Shame of the Cities', and 'The White Man's Burden', the Irish Mob rose from hellish slums riddled with disease, vice, and death.The Potato Famine wiped out a third of Ireland's population, and for those escaping the disaster, America offered hope. They arrived in swarms, starving and destitute, armed with Celtic stubbornness and toughness. In a land where man had to fight for his piece of the pie and fight harder to keep it, 'Paddy' was almost unbeatable. From 19th century gang clashes to 20th century wars with the Italians, PADDY WHACKED traces the legacy of the Irish Mob, deeply rooted in the diabolical power trio of 'Gangster, Politician, and Lawman' feeding and festering off one another." -- The History Channel website
