In the 30-60's there were criminals that where part of Organised crime like Al Capone and committed crimes such as Racketeering, counterfeiting, illegal gambling, illegal drug dealing, and murder and were also know as mobsters
Today's gangsters are just people who don't how to spell the word and spell it gangsta however they still do some of the crimes up above but they are pussies and weaklings.
However people still think of gangsters in the the earlier times due to movies like the Godfather and Goodfellas.
Modern day Gangster: *spells gangsta*
Random guy:*walks up to gangster* it spelled "Gangster" not "Gangsta".
Gangster: I'm gonna shoot yo dawg. *pulls out hand gun*
Random guy: * gives light slap*
Gangster:*cries like wa wa*
Random guy: *thinks seriously*

A civilised mamber of society whom is involved with organised crime. They have strong self and family values, who will protect those close to them, and get ahead by commiting any necessary act. They DO NOT wear clothes that are 10 times too big for them. DO NOT CONFUSE WITH A THUG, GANGSTA OR ANY OTHER SCUMBAG OF SOCIETY. real gangsters are few nowdays, however the increase of 'bad-ass' gangsters haha who walk with a limp and slur when they talk is on the increase.
Al Capone, Gambino Family, Moran Family, Even Tony Sporano is a good example of how a real gangster behaves.
