What does that have to do with The Depression? 

People drinking alcohol vs a culture of killing each other at a massive rate.

Prohibition created the mob, and the depression grew their ranks immensely. 

Do you want me to draw you a picture?

He will never concede now that we made fun of him. I thought everybody knew that.

They don't want to punch a clock when there is tons of money to be made with drugs/crime!

Yeah, because risking your freedom and your life to make a living is way better than punching a clock.

How Prohibition backfired and gave America an era of gangsters and speakeasies

I'm illiterate. Can show me where it says prohibition created the mob .  Gave rise is not the same as created.

Did the murder rate soar during that era?

Tuck tail my ass....the mob no doubt gained power during prohibition for obvious reasons but it didn't create it and the depression did not create it either and the original point was about the depression and crime not prohibition.
