I recall a TV movie in the late 1970's that portrayed a deteriorating neighborhood in New York City(most likely the Bronx or Brooklyn), very powerful and dramatic. Showed senior citizens being mugged and even slain. A gang was portrayed as committing the crimes and as never being caught by police or if they were never convicted. The gang leader's pet motion was to make a gesture with his hands perhaps beating them on his chest while chanting "boom boom boom the-king, boom boom boom the king"(referring to himself). i recall it being on TV sometime between around 1976-1979. it should be brought back to TV because it was so good and realistic.
Any ideas as to the name and other details?
