Nobody is scared of the mafia in general anymore, its not just philly, you go to the bloods, crips or latin kings and tell them they have to pay taxes and watch what would happen.and a gangster is a gangster until the day they die, there's old men that will take your head off if you give them a reason to, and guys are probally already coming up missing you just won't hear about it until the next indictment...if garb is disrespecting made guys the way people says that he is something might happen down the line, violence is how you protect your business without that everybody would take your rackets from you

Exactly !!!

Big NYE pre mummers party, joey, uncle joe, wagners, grande, niccodemo wife,they get after it all night and this morning for the parade which is 2nd to none

thats what i said, ive lived down here my whole life, this thread makes tent and O sound like the purple gang from harlem back in the 70s and not one name besides "Garbs" havent heard a peep about 10 and O since Genie Wilson and the Henri's

Can somebody create a Wikipedia page on the 10th and O gang so people can begin using it as a reliable source?

Wikipedia isn't a reliable source though...Lets make this clear, nobody is calling 10th & O the Mayfield Road Mob. Although they too consisted of a few people, but had a lot of clout through the midwest, like Vegas. As far as I know, 10th & O is a drug crew and always have been...Not one name except for Garbs have you heard about. Yet this whole thing is mainly about Narducci & Garbarino. Since at least as early as 2014, reports have circulated that Narducci has some hanger ons who are 10th & O guys, who operate in his rackets. Thats not to say Narducci has an army behind him. But he has young men willing to die for him, who are around him. Simple as that, nothing more, nothing less. Thats it. Thats all thats being said, the few guys who around Narducci, mainly Garbarino, are punking known button men. Thats all there is to it.

Now theres some feeling going on around this forum, by SOME, I was guilty of it myself at one point, that Joey Merlino is some Michael Corleone and that Philly is quietly regrouping into the biggest, most money earning, toughest mob family on the East Coast. So it's understandable that some may not want to hear that they truly may just be a fractured bunch with a couple of guys loyal to the overall scheme and agenda of Cosa Nostra, and on the other hand, guys whom are old and young, who have their crews and just want to make money, be left alone , and dont give a shit as to what happens to Joey and his men.

And once a gangster always a gangster, is true, but then its not. Its a reason why you hear of some mob guys who are high ranking, doing the work themselves, because as wiretaps have proved, some of them actually do believe that a lack of action, makes them soft. I don't know about that. And while Joey was gangster in his life, he wasn't the only one. He lost a war against a real mob boss, and luckily came out on top in the end due to attrition. And we have yet to see if there are anymore Nicodemos left, or a guy like Grande is even willing to take a risk again of killing a guy.

I didn't say Scoops wasnt respected. I just said what Fresolone said, and here we go with this "he's a rat, he's lying". I don't know if he was lying, but I will say this, it's possible, very possible that at that point in time, Scoops wasn't that respected by the guys in his family. He wasn't made until '86 when most of the Scarfo guys were going away, he was suspected of being a snitch by some Jersey Genovese guys. And Specs pulled some strings and had him made anyway. There's evidence from Stanfa wiretaps that Piccolo nor Stanfa liked him very much. So you can't say Fresolone is lying as Scoops is one of the guys whom both Piccolo & Stanfa says had no stomach for the war or the worser things that come with mob life. So there's that.


He's an earner no doubt. But Fresolones claims aren't exactly "unfounded".

[quote=SinatraClub]Wikipedia isn't a reliable source though...

That Wikipedia comment was 100 % joke... everyone knows it's not reliable

The Boys??..R U 1of the boys???? hmmmm...By the way Serp,Happy new year,I bet your now not wearing t-shirts & shorts like last week down there!

I know it was, but if you're the same Delco guy from RD, that response was a joke too as I had included "...But you are right? Because, you know, "you're in the streets"?

That murmur parade or whatever it's called made the front page of every newspaper and tmz for that joke they made of Bruce Jenner. Guess you can't make jokes of anybody anymore.

I just left there about 40 mins ago. Seen both John Jr. And John Sr. and a 3rd younger guy I didn't recognize.

Photo on RD of what appears to be Joey Merlino, and maybe Ray Wags with Joe Ligambi at a NYE party. Wags in his black leather coat, so is some big dude next to him who's barely in the picture, looking like they're straight out of casting for the Sopranos.

I saw that pic too, Uncle Joe had on a sharp suit I must say

Can someone post here please?

Yup, Slim was in Philly for the Mummer's Parade. There are pics out there too.

Whoever took that pic should upgrade their phone.

That...and it is blurry cuz it looks like they were trying to sneak it real fast and take it without consent lmao

Haha makes sense. Looks like they're having fun.

Just sent you a PM blackjack.

Oh boy, are you with the FBI? lol

Haha yeah, Agent Harris here.

Wags looks badass

Wags looks like Bobby Baccalieri...

Scott's article on the Philly mob. Not much news more of a overview of the situation. It didn't mention the stabbing but did say tensions wwre rising with Johnny chang and Philip and that philip is no longer kicking up to Steve mazzone any sort of trbute which he apparently was earlier out of respect

I don'y know where people get their stories from. First of all I know Narducci and he has never kicked up any money to anybody and never would. The guy is no part of these guys and is doing all legitimate business out here. Please get your stories straight. Ask around on the streets of Philly and you will find out for yourselves.

Your saying narducci is a legit guy really come on I don't think he is with the mob he apparently kicked a little up to Steve awhile back out of respect for the guy because philip respected him. Your telling me you don't think philip doesn't have a book or shy going on is that what your telling me even though he spends all his time with the 10th and oregon. People who are knowledgablen about Philly I have read seem to have a different opinion not said he was ever part of Merlino and those guys but he is hardly a legit business man

That is not wags in that pic.

Def not wags ... You're right
