DelBalso, now Whooley dead. Both involved with the Book....

This murder could be a game changer. With the murder of Gregory Woolley the Rizzuto's lost a close ally. Probably going to be more shooting between the reds and blue street gangs. Furthermore, will rival clans take advantage of this turmoil and strike at the Rizzuto's again, it remains to be seen.

Sucks to see such a powerful empire crumble like that, their replacements won't be as fascinating as far as I'm concerned, as a spectator.

Montreal is totally out of control. I think they have more gangs interacting with each other than anywhere else in North America. That leads to all these conflicts. Plus they are a major city that has fallen apart. The immigrant gangs also seem to have gotten powerful quicker than the did in other cities, and then maintained their hold.

Mompoint was whacked in July. Perhaps revenge for his murder?

I think the murder of Woolley is the continuity of the conflict between the Rizzuto’s and the Hells Angels Montreal’s chapter.

The hit against Leo, the murder of Del Baso and now Woolley

So its probably the Rizzuto’s, some mafia clans and the syndicates against the HAs montreal chapters, some gangs and maybe others

Tit for tat could be possible the first was affiliated with the Crips Wooley with the Bloods. But the gangs would probably not act alone they make the most money with other organizations.

STREET GANGS: EVEN THE “OG” ARE WORRIED ABOUT THE SITUATION IN MONTREAL

David Romain has always been called Faya. That's what they call it on the streets of Montreal. At 44 years old, he has seen and experienced almost everything when it comes to crime. He is considered an OG , in street lingo: old or original gangster. And yet, what he observes among the new generation of street gang members worries him.

“They shoot everywhere, for anything,” says Faya. Personally, I don't respect them. I speak with a lot of OGs and none of us have any respect for the game today.”

Son of an absent father and victim of bullying at school, he began burglarizing chalets near Rivière-des-Prairies at 12 years old. He quickly became involved with blue street gangs – the Crips – which he frequented throughout his criminal career. The first time he held a gun in his hands, he was barely 13 years old.

David Romain alias Faya, in his youth.

As a teenager, bank robberies, mischief, drug possession, youth center, breach of conditions… At 18, he pleaded guilty to a charge of carrying a concealed firearm.

For 27 years, his life was punctuated by incarcerations and his criminal offenses: possession of firearms, criminal harassment, serious assault, pimping, arson... He was even accused in 2010 in a story where an SPVM double agent was violently beaten.

Despite a past marked by violent acts, he describes himself as a “good bandit”.

“In the old days, it was our beef , our business,” says Faya. We weren’t shooting innocent people.”

The data seems to support his claims. In the 2000s, a time when street gang violence reached its peak in Montreal, it nevertheless caused few collateral victims. In 2007, for example, all the victims of the 14 homicides and 54 attempted murders in Montreal were involved in criminal activities linked to street gangs, according to the Montreal Police Service (SPVM). And barely 7% of these crimes were committed in public places.

“A good bandit does his business and doesn’t kill innocent people.”
- David Romain, aka Faya

The former street gang member denounces the current trend in scoring, the act of shooting targeted victims at random to “score points”.

“Today, it’s their fashion: go to such and such a neighborhood, shoot someone,” describes Faya. You're not tough at all if you do that."

A point of view shared by Commander Francis Renaud, head of the Northeast organized crime section within the SPVM. He believes that the targeting of innocent victims is the “most worrying” phenomenon currently for the police force.

The proliferation of firearms among young people and the “brand new battlefield” that is social networks are creating an explosive climate in the streets of Montreal. From January 1 to March 26, the SPVM recorded 25 firearm discharge events and seized 135 firearms.

“There is a trivialization of firearms and violence,” Mr. Renaud assessed in an interview with the Noovo Le Fil 17 newsletter on Wednesday. Our young people are insensitive to this violence.”

Faya is also concerned about seeing more and more teenagers – younger and younger – owning a firearm.

“All the young people are armed, and are wild out , are ready there. It's crazy.""
- Faya
If Faya agreed to confide in Noovo Info, it is because he feels partly responsible for what is currently happening in Montreal. “Every day I say to myself: 'Had I known, I would never have done that.'”

Today, the ex-gangster has a lot to say to the young people of his city. He says his years in detention taught him a lot. He admits to having caused a lot of harm to a lot of people. His past will always follow him, but he aspires to a better future, far from the streets, he swears.

“As I tell young people, there are other things to do than shoot each other. There are a lot of them who are intelligent too, a lot!”

He is saddened to see young men “wasting their talent” by falling into crime.

“I’ve been happy in my life for two, three years. Stay away from problems, you breathe better, you live better.”

“That’s life, not being 15 and walking around with a glock. It's crazy, you're 14, 15 years old and you have to watch your back. Think about yourself, your school, your career, your future,” he advises teenagers tempted by the life he led.

Mike Arsene Mompoint was killed in July 2021 in case you didn't notice.

Gregory Woolley was the one associated with the crips and Arsene Mompoint with the bloods.

Murder of Gregory Woolley: at least one suspect actively sought by the authorities

You are right Mompoint was 'Unit 44' a blood set they did a lot of hits for the Italians.

Wow, this is another huge escalation North of the border

No suprise though Picasso has been warned by police many times.

They all get warned by the police since the 80s. Rizzuto got warned, del baso got warned, chenier got warned. Its part of the life

Yes the thing is they warn them but never say from who, so often they are still guessing.

True to that. But i guess they can’t tell them who made the treats, because them guys will go after them, and a murder could be in the hands of the cops

Yea with what all he had his hands in, I think he knew he could be under the gun at some point. I imagine a lot were jealous of his connections as well

se la scimmia era la problema tra Sollecito e Scoppa, forse addesso la famiglia tradizionale potrebbe esiste nel canada? simile a italia. multi membri possible, non so chi? violi, luppino, ruzzuto, commisso, todaro, new york, etc? la polizia ama la loro scimmie soppratutto nel Canada, è la verita?

Seriously though...why are you on here speaking whatever that is?

una domanda honesta mi dispiace.  ma è vero? ho ricordato qualcuno ha detto qualcosa riguarda le scimmie hanno cresciuto dopo Rizzuto è andato in prigone erano una malatia, forse arcadi?. molto strano qui, perche la stessa malatia esiste in italia.  sapete meloni e salvini? anche Sylvio, Minetti e Balotelli? cose come queste sono strane, vogliamo imparere I fatti a canada

You enjoy hiding behind Google translate to sling racial insults?

Firstly mompoint was with nloods.. wooley was with the crips

If your not from montreal you shouldn’t be speaking on OC your a spectator

LOL Bloods Crips whatever !!

well benballer and not to be rude but that is not the way this site works. noone has to show street cred to share posts on here. aside from a relatively small number of criminals in quebec we are all spectators. i can respect the claim to being on the street but that by no means disallows anyone else from theorizing as to what is going on in mtl or elsewhere in the world. you now open youself to the easiest of questions...what have we all got so wrong then? what is it about mtl and organized crime, bikers, street gangs and the mafia do we all have no clue about? or are so far off that we have lost all credibility to speak on such matters?

The Book of Discord

Good articles from LaPresse

From my part, I learn new names Cannistraro and Desiderio Pompa
Are they members of the Rizzuto clan ?

Also we can see that the Hells Angels from the montreal chapter also make alot of money from that book. So it make sense that they want to be the owners of the book.

Also, it amaze me that the lapresse or the JdM don’t know much about Gregory Woolley. The day of his murder, we learn that he had According to information, the Sicilian clan had given Woolley part of the profits from illegal sports betting and the mafia loan, commonly called the "Book" in the community.
But in the third article, woolley is no part in this, except for a call.
Did he invest in the book ?

Crazy how the Rizzuto always got a new war in there hands.

First it was the Rizzuto’s against Desjardins-Montagna group.
Then it was the Rizzuto-Sollecito clan against the Scoppa brothers.
Now seem it will be the Rizzuto-Sollecito against the Hells Angels Montreal chapter.

Could we say there was also a war the Rizzuto and allies from Ontario against some Ontario clans ?
