any zip left in springfield?
or was fusco the only one to begin with?

Paddy, It's Ronnie who does the poetry and yes he is very good at it. You might be thinking of someone else when you say Butchies kids and grandkids. One of the guys from the North End job, Arthur Burgess was caught in your city. The rest of them were Dennis Quirk, Marty O'Brien, Jason Owens, and Pat Lacey. Most of them are doing serious time in federal prison, except for the ones who turned on them. Yea southend, Jeff dimed out alot of close people when they all got caught up for the pharmacy robberies.

the fidler i know is in a federal joint got 13 years for robbing a truck or bank dont know for sure but it was in the north end and he's in there thats a fact... he has a daughter name molly, hes bald headed with a crazy scar on his head, he's got huge eyeballs in his mid 40's but looks young did 5-8 in walpole but def fidler unless theres another john fidler who ran shit and is older than his mid 40's with a different description

but fidler is def in the feds FACT i knew him for years now and was glad to see him .....didnt know he took over ctown but knew he ran his little operations but fidler is a stand up guy doing 13 years mouth shut

Maybe you mean Mike Fidler, he's doing time for robbing a bank on Canal street and another on Main street, ctown. He has a daughter. But John Fid is definitely not in prison and has been out for a few years. He never robbed any banks in the north end. There's no way John Fidler is doing 13yrs. Hes done a shitload of time, but is definitely not locked up anymore.

Two people named John Fidler came up as RELEASED from the feds. No Jonathan's either

jason owens turned on them, i know most them well,his bro is a co at bay

I was in Concord with Marty O'Brien tall kid from Charlestown. Great kid! Doing 18-20 years for that shit. He went to Norfolk then got lugged to Souza for a dirty urine with some other guys last I heard

18-20 years, sounds like a great kid...I'm sure his parents are proud.

its john fidler or i just been lied to for years that its john ... besides thats it bunch of them they all go by fidler no matter whats the first name .... let me ask to make sure but ville how dont you know exactly who im talking about and described him gave personal info the whole nine you should know just by his huge eyeballs and his scar theres not to many fidlers that look like that

jcb who are you guy ???

I'm not sure if this guy is connected but the name Palladino has cropped up in the past in Boston OC. I think there is a Palladino who is on the list of people that Peter Limone cannot mingle with. Also, John Martorano's first hit was a Bobby Palladino I think.

Either way this Palladino is just as big a crook if not moreso.

Here it is. No way they could all be related...

Russo. The guy you described and the personal info you gave isn't the John Fidler Im talking about. It pretty much goes without saying with what I've said that Fid isn't locked up and has been out for years. Especially when I know for a fact that the John Fidler you guys are talking about isn't the same guy your thinking of. Fid is in his mid 40s, but he don't have big bug eyes. And your telling me he's doing 13yrs, when I know the guy and know hes been out for years. And the Fidler other people on here were talking about is the same guy im talking about. The John Fidler you described isn't the same Fidler from charlestown.

funny I don't recall askin you shit

You didn't need to ask, you posted it on a public forum...I'm sure a lot of parents would be proud that their kid is doing 18-20, a real "stand up" kid wasting taxpayers money and living off the government for 18-20 years...but he's a good kid:) Dirty urine? Drugs? The apple of his mother's eye I'm sure:)

South end an Joe russo are so full of shit all they do is start trouble....just because I haven't gone to prison and have just read books dosent mean you know more than me..I've never heard anyone be more proud of goin to the can..

Don't know either of them so I can't comment on them personally...however, the whole bit about Marty O'Brien being a "good kid" doing 18-20 years is comical...People actually think that convicts doing 18-20 are stand up guys...What the fuck is the world coming to and these twisted senses of "neighborhood" values and how certain people from certain neighborhoods are revered for going to prison and not ratting. No wonder this country has so many people on government benefits and free medical insurance, their sense of "good kids" are just warped.

If people actually come on to a public forum to "exude power" and share their prison (shower) experiences, I truly feel bad for them. Whatever happened to keeping your mouth shut? The next generation is fucked if they have adults sharing their prison experiences and calling other convicts "good kids." Ashame, truly ashame.

As Pauly Walnuts from the Sopranos once said "in my book, you get points for staying out of the can."

I give more credit to kids who get out of the criminal element in neighborhoods and make something out of themselves, those are the true "good kids."

If the U.S government wants to find out why kids are fucked up today, all they need to do is read what people actually write on these threads...morals and values aren't taught anymore...it's how many years you will be locked in a cage that defines a true man...LOL...unreal.

Ahmen

Finally someone else with a brain,, thank god..

I don't know joe russo or southend, but southend is quite the name dropper and I think believes he is capo di tutti capi in his neighborhood. People who really never left Boston...never leave Boston and every neighborhood is better than the other. Southie v. Charlestown...who has the more stand up guys? THANK GOD the Yuppies are moving in to both, need to class the place up a little.

I agree, look at all the problems in southie latley..Boston is basically all yuppies in the north end and charlestown but it is a good thing..all of eastie moved to revere an saugus and the north end all moved to meff,,just my opinion though...

Im just a guy who likes mafia history in his area simple I read a lot which is more than I can say for a lot of you guys on here all they post is who they were locked up with lol..

The guys on this forum either ran with the mobsters that are being discussed or did time with guys from the neighborhood...It's actually sad to see so many guys on here who spent time in prison (but they were stand up guys because they kept their mouths shut)...What a joke, gives you an idea that some people have warped senses of thinking. I grew up with a few of my great uncles who were involved with illegal gambling back in Pittsburgh...They were immigrants from Italy who didn't have their hand out to the government and couldn't find work...at that time, you did what you had to do. Today, these guys want to be the next John Gotti when there are so many opportunities for legitimate employment. These guys in prison don't realize that they are leaches on the American economy...somebody has to pay for their stupid ass being locked up, it's the same as if they were lazy and collected unemployment for 2 years like so many other Massachusetts residents, especially in Taunton/New Bedford/Fall River-The armpits of Massachusetts. Sure, I blame the government for not having tighter control of Massachusetts benefits and just handing paychecks out like a crack rocks in Roxbury. And then, once you say something, they jump down your throat for exercising an opinion on reality. My advice to you Meffaboston: take it with a grain of salt...On here, they think they're somebody...out on the street, they are just another convicted felon who will end up back in the can. It's a sad story actually...They revere retards like Anthony DiNunzio and laugh at stand up businessmen who contribute to society and pump money into a dying economy. At the end of the day though, they have to live like that, hanging in bars, popping pills, snorting whatever...but as southend said, the kid's doing 18-20 years, "great kid!"

Another thing that cracks me up is when these Boston tough guys who claim to have been in prison with this one and that one and happen to know every wiseguy or bank robber in the neighborhood and their defense is "The FBI is crooked, The Cops are crooked, The Governor is crooked." While the FBI in Boston certainly put themselves in that position, do these guys on this forum actually think that Washington D.C is not going to be monitoring agents in Boston as well as doing much more intensive background checks on who they are letting run things at the Federal level? It's like saying that all priests molest altar boys...a few bad apples gave a bad name to mostly good people. The guys on this particular thread either know Whitey, know Georgie Hogan, know Fat Anthony or the Cheeseman...and they advertise what's going on in their own neighborhood...I guess loyalty isn't something they value in their neighborhoods, in fact, I'm sure that the guys who are being mentioned on this thread would love to know that some of these wannabees are out telling tales about the men in question. Pathetic really. "But their all great kids" LOL
