The mafia lives!

The following is a clip from the Japan Today newspaper. I realize that this is real life and not a movie, but I can't help but love my mafia daydream. (Someday - I will be THE boss!)

"Gangster killed, 3 injured in shootout at Tokyo hotel:
TOKYO — A member of a crime syndicate was killed and three others were injured Sunday afternoon in a shooting that was apparently carried out by a rival gang in the coffee shop of the Asakusa View Hotel.

Police said the four were in the coffee shop when two men from a rival gang entered and fired shots at them around 1:50 p.m. They were taken to a nearby hospital, where one of them later died, the police said. The two men fled from the scene after the shooting but were later arrested by police. (Kyodo News)"

Funny note: someone responded on the website to this article by saying that they (the gangsters) were obviously drinking expresso.
