1.From the organized crime small group presentations I learned that the gangsters mostly escaped from the cops and had a few good runs but always ended up getting caught and dieing in the end. I also learned that the gangsters crimes got worse as they surrounded themselves with more or daring gangsters. Some of my favorite cool facts where: Bonnie Parker, for example, was married and wrote poetry, Clyde Barrow killed 9 police officers and also dropped out of school in 5Th grade, "Baby Face" Nelson was 5'4 and got made fun of for it, "Pretty Boy" Floyd grew up on a farm, and Kate "Ma" Barker waited until her four sons graduated high school to start a life of crime as a family.
