The public reaction to the St. Valentine's Day Massacre in 1929 was one of shock and Horror, as the brutal execution of seven members of Chicago's North Side Gang highlighted the violent reality of organized crime during Prohibition. Many people felt a mix of fear and fascination, leading to increased media coverage and public interest in gangland activities. The massacre also intensified calls for law enforcement reform and greater government action against organized crime, ultimately influencing public perception of gangsters as both criminals and, in some cases, folk heroes.
