On another note Tommy. If you ever write something you feel is solid enough to get posted up, let me know. I don't typically open my doors to others, but if I like what you write and feel it fits with the other content of ButtonGuys I'd welcome you to post up by me for exposure (if thats even something you'd be interested in). Let me know
I'd definitely be interested in that, I highly appreciate the offer., itd be an honour if my work would be good enough to be put up. I always wanted to do one on the East Harlem Purple Crew. The Meldish Brothers, Danny Leo, Angelo Prisco, Mikey Nose, Ronnie Mastrovincenzo etc etc etc.. big time earners and major junk dealers, allegedly did alot of heavy work
Good. My one caveat is just don't write a piece about current and active guys. If they're dead, or long retired, write what you want. But otherwise stay away from those guys. ok?

Done. One thing i noticed about your work, is you dont really get into detailed info regarding old hits etc. I like to get very detailed on hits etc...sometimes being descriptive with how theyre murdered etc..try to paint a vivid picture in the readers mind...So if that kind of writing doesnt fit with the other pieces...it may not work for your page. I look at it from if i was reading it..what would be most interesting to me if i was reading it. I write from a street guys perspective...so im trying to write what street guys want to read

"You must learn to skim the cream off the top without disturbing the milk"
was a Chicago Outfit Soldier who was found dead at a condo development at 951 N. Highway 53 in Addison, IL. The victim was wearing jeans, a dark sweatshirt & a scarf & gloves. He was carrying a screwdriver & $1750 in cash, but no identification. He was shot 7 times in the back. He was known to police as an armed robber & burglar & was once a driver for Joseph Aiuppa
Feb. 3, 1982- Vincent "Tippy" Panetta, age 60, Township Line Road, Cheltenham, Pa., Member of the Philadelphia LCN family. Panetta's body and that of his 19- year-old girlfriend, Michelle A. Podraza, were found in the bedroom of their apartment in Cheltenham, Pa., shortly before 4 p.m. on Feb. 4, 1982. The hands and ankles of both victims had been bound. Podraza's body, only partially clad, was found lying across the bed. Panetta's fully clothed body was found on the floor. An autopsy disclosed that both victims had been severely beaten and died of strangulation. It was not determined exactly when the slayings took place, although it is estimated that they had been dead for 24 to 48 hours. Panetta was convicted in 1976 by a federal jury in Philadelphia on RICO charges and for conspiracy in connection with the illegal lending of money at interest rates as high as 179 percent. Panetta's criminal record and his reputed involvement in the loansharking operations of the late Philip Testa and Frank Sindone promoted speculation that the killings were linked to organized crime
