and they just come outta nowhar

lol I also found that quite funny, but seriously I think he's got multiple sclerosis - fuckin horrible

Your Right , he has MS in both lower legs

Thanks gk , good job !

reading mob killer about half way through (really good), Charles Carneglia had a life size cut out of ayatollah khomeini in his garage - and unless he's using it for target practice i'd say thats pretty crazy...

Gonna have to check that out .

Pretty Louis Amberg was nuts. He used to screw with future members of Murder Inc. without retaliation because they thought Amberg was super psycho and capable of anything.

So many to choose from, how do you pick just one?

Louis Amberg killed and his car set on fire he suffered both shotgun and axe wounds before his death (found on the same day Dutch Schultz was assassinated) when asked if there were any suspects, a police detective reportedly answered "Yeah, Brooklyn."

I think no American gangster, even the most bloodthirsty one, could measure up to the Italian ones in terms of craziness. Among those, I think the craziest was Filippo Marchese. He ran a so-called “room of death” in Palermo and enjoyed watching his victims being tortured while masturbating and snorting cocaine. That’s really sick. Even Totò Riina thought he was too out of control and had him killed after using him in the mafia war.

he looks like a mean sob



theres another picture of him..but I dont think it's him

Must be a before and after shot ! He went ta shit like some of us do ! Second pic. " Can ya belive this fucken shit after my sausage and pasta ! Get the Fuck outta hare , or ya have any Pepto, soda water , I need ta lay down ! Go Fuck your who ever ! Ya prick ! I am one mean SOB ! Iffen ya are good send ya a fresh fish ! I should be a mentalist ! Any one got a cup of tea, and a 5th of Beam ! Just asken !

now I look at it I think it is him, same eyes, hair and ears lol, just not got the beard, and he's gained some weight ...and is older of course ..I'm sure it's him

Gotta go with Sam DeStefano.. Some of the stories are just unbelievable!!!

Dyno DeStefano was Moe Giancana's pit bull, and he was by far the most psychotic, ruthless Italian gangster in American history, there's just no question. And Giancana's Forty-Two Gang that DeStefano ran with was easily the toughest, most powerful street crew in American history, they were just too brutal. Capone & Nitti were terrified of them, and they literally reduced Cicero to absolutely nothing, until Joey O'Brien resurrected it.

Also, regarding the Calabrese family, let's put it this way: They are/were clowns, that is why you know their names & their drama, and that is why 2 of them are rotting in prison & the other is all over the TV. They were a few steps above the Spilotro bros., nothing more. Never ran any crews, always did dirty work. Family Secrets really didn't mean much at all, the Outfit wanted it to seem like a big deal to draw attention away from street action. Trust me, I live in Chicago, the Outfit is very, very much alive & real, we see it every day.

You're not just playing around are you? Cause this is very exciting to hear if it's true. You actually live in Chicago? PIcs or it's not true!!

Can you imagine this, Carmela? We actually have an authentic person from Chicago in here who seems to know a great deal about the outfit? I´m amazed. And this guy was apparently around already in the 1930s! Because he knows who ran the outfit at that time! Never mind the cops, prosecutors, crime investgators, judges, crime historians and everybody else who dealt with the outfit. They knew nothing! Listen to this kid, and you will learn something.

HAH! Wow, so ignorant AND rude/impolite is the name of the game around here, eh? I won't partake in any of that..as Joe Batters himself once said "We're gentlemen in Chicago".

This was your quote from another thread. Not so "gentlemanly" if you ask me:

Wow, okay I'm new to this site, but I have to say, the ignorance when it comes to the mighty Chicago Outfit is absolutely laughable. You people really haven't the slightest clue...It's quite astounding, really.

And, as Carmela once said...I don't know a damn thing about Chicago. What I do know about is when a new poster comes on like gangbusters trying to show off, while simultaneously trying to take members down a notch or two. Take it easy.

Show off? Knowledge is knowledge. For example, I don't know horse shit about the New Orleans faction, nor would I pretend to. That particular post was directed at another member that was spewing some real laughable stuff, it had nothing to do with you. No need to get confrontational with a complete stranger.

Follow your own advice, Bridge. Don't come into a new place blasting away as you've done today. Slow down and listen to what others have to say. You don't have to agree with them and you can argue your own point but do it calmly.

Sorry, didn't know there was a point to be had. Once again, I said "I'm from Chicago" & this "carmela" individual made a rude, inappropriate comment. Another distasteful comment was made (for no apparent reason, mind you) and that was about the extent of it. We weren't agreeing/disagreeing on anything. If you're referring to the other thread, Anthony Accardo was NEVER ever the boss of the Chicago Outfit, ever. That is not something that is up for debate, it's just fact vs. nonsense.

Which rude/inappropriate comment are you referring to? I don't see any.

yeah I never seen any rude or inappropriate comment either.. personally I don't think this guys playing with a full deck - when I started to read what this guy was saying I thought it was a joke, maybe someone trying to take the piss a little.. but he is for real

'carmela' & 'Hairy Knuckles' both made rude, inappropriate comments, completely unjustified. Just scroll up & take a look.

What have I said that would lead you to assume that I was "not playing with a full deck"? Please elaborate on that

Bridgeport. I didn't make any rude comment. On this board. Today.

I see you're a bit sensitive, though, so I will refrain from posting to you again. I don't want to make a man cry. On this board. Today.

Hmmm, I believe you did. Poking fun @ the fact that I stated I was from Chicago? How is that not rude? Especially when nothing was said to you in the first place.

I am not upset, but don't play dumb

Bridge - Congrats on your first warning. From now on, check the attitude at the door before you come in here. If you can't play nicely with others you'll be relegated to the sandbox.

Remember ... WARNING #1 was given.

I can play nicely.

"You're not just playing around are you? Cause this is very exciting to hear if it's true. You actually live in Chicago? PIcs or it's not true!!"

"Can you imagine this, Carmela? We actually have an authentic person from Chicago in here who seems to know a great deal about the outfit? I´m amazed.

Comments like these made towards a complete stranger, completely unprovoked, are not playing nicely.

toatlly provoked by how you came off and at people. like its great if your interested in the outfit. and its even more wonderful if you have some vast knowledge and would like to share it. but you can't come at people the way you do. your already off to a bad start.

What about this post in particular was antagonistic?
