This document talks about Paul Ward and the downfall of Al Capone. Paul Ward is the guy who got Al Capone on tax evasion. It contains news article clippings and, letters about the incident. October 13th 1931, gangster Al Capone is sentenced to 11 years in prison for tax evasion and fined $80,000, signaling the downfall of one of the most notorious criminals of the 1920s and 1930s.  I find it comical that Al Capone was the leader of a mafia, and the only thing they could try him for was tax evasion. Despite countless led murders, tax evasion was what brought him to his downfall. I guess you could say Al is the realest gangster to ever live.

Gang violence affects the world today, because gangs are very similar to Mafias. Gang violence is a major issue today, much like Mafia violence was back in the 1920s. 

Finally a website that doesn’t cram 30 plus ads down your throat. Without the distraction of clicking out of more ads than Chris Farley has rolls, or more bullets than 50 Cent took to the chest,  I was actually able to focus on the information provided. The website layout is pretty basic and not really much to complain about. It’s nice to see a website that just hands you the information and not try and get you to subscribe to something. So far this is the best website so far that pertains to my group’s topic. I would’ve liked to see a little more pictures but all in all this is one of the better websites that I’ve found so far.

So, besides the fact that this website looks like it's been made by an edgy, over emotional, teen going through quite the phase, this website's information is valid. This website lowkey scares me. I don't know if it's the contrast of colors, or the extremely disturbing pictures. My little brother could make a better looking website this. All of their information is crammed into the middle of the page, with countless edgy book ads including titles that sound like bad ghost stories. Not to mention, that this website didn’t even use the Oxford comma in their title. 

This website contains a plentiful amount of information pertaining to my group's topic(American Mafia). It also provides visuals, such as, videos and pictures. The website is also a very reliable source, so you won’t be left with Wikipedia facts from a guy named Big Joe. With that being said, why does this website feel the need to shove ads down my throat like I’m Alice Paul? By no means am I trying to be an insensitive, blogging, hipster who talks crap in your niece’s youtube comments, but for the love of god, stop! Every time you go to this website you get ads up and down your screen. Just when you think it's safe to scroll down,after clicking the smallest X button the world has ever seen, you get hit in the face with more ads! I came here to research the American Mafia, not subscribe to a website with the header, “12 crazy sick life hacks you need to try right now!”
