No it was a planned assassination done by criminals dressed as cops who "arrested" their rivals, then gunned them down in what I remember as a private parking garageWasn't the St. Valentines Day Massacre a drive by?
Wasn't the St. Valentines Day Massacre a drive by?
What’s that supposed to mean?That's nothing like getting surrounded by The Black Cloud, bro.
I said POLICY. Yes, innocent bystanders were killed, BY ACCIDENT. And no, I didn't watch too many movies. My wife's family was mafia. Chicago to be specific, and it was never a policy to intentionally kill civilians.That is untrue…you watch too many movies mythologizing Mafia violence.
They invented drive by shootings and if bystanders were in the way…too bad. If locals didn’t pay for “protection”…oh well. Sometimes a “lesson” had to be taught.
Chicago Prohibition-era gangster and North Side Gang boss Bugs Moran was considered a "pioneer" of the drive-by shooting, with the Tommy gun being the weapon of choice. The notoriously vicious gang performed multiple shootings against their rivals, including the South Side gang led by Al Capone and the Genna brothers. Other Irish American gangs, such as the Saltis-McErlane Gang, the Sheldon Gang, and the Southside O'Donnell's, also executed drive-bys on one another in the Chicago area. Al Capone also had a Cadillac painted in Chicago police colors (police lights included) with armored rear windshield and a small hatch to fire machine guns with the car moving.
Life was just as cheap and they were just as lawless and bloody as the gangs we see today. The only difference? Not any “code of honor”, just better weapons.
By accident? It isn’t an “accident“ to care so little about civilians you don’t try to avoid hitting them. Nor is it an “accident” to murder a shop keeper in order to terrify the rest into paying “protection” money.I said POLICY. Yes, innocent bystanders were killed, BY ACCIDENT.

Two days ago. Now does the OP understand?
I've been "punished" for honestly answering a liberal OP's "questions" before too.Oh-oh. Earlier in this thread (can’t remember if you were around), I recounted the most terrifying moments of my life when I was in a bad neigborhood alone at night when five black youths surrounded me, forming a circle, and were closing in….
Coyote got very angry with me, saying that I was perpetuating the stereotype that blacks are violent, and basically said that my telling a story like that is promoting the idea that blacks are violent. (I doubt she would have objected if whites were the perps, and I told that story,)
Anyway, I mention this to you because I wonder if she will say the same to you - that by posting these stories (and what a tragedy that these lives were stolen) , you are playing into the racist idea that there is a problem with high crime rates among blacks.
Just be ready for her. She packs a mean wallop!
Stop ignoring the first wrong to talk about the second one. That's the problem with whites who think like you. That's why your dumb ass can't understand the impact of past history on us today.
Yes, they did shitty stuff. But you have to go back to 1919 for an example.By accident? It isn’t an “accident“ to care so little about civilians you don’t try to avoid hitting them. Nor is it an “accident” to murder a shop keeper in order to terrify the rest into paying “protection” money.
Seriously, educate yourself, their record speaks for itself: https://themobmuseum.org/blog/they-dont-just-kill-each-other/#:~:text=But%20Siegel's%20assertion%20is%20not,innocent%20victims%20of%20Mob%20violence.
Twelve years before Vengalli’s death, on March 28, 1919, Kansas City mobster Paul Catanzaro killed 11-year-old Frank Carramusa Jr. Catanzaro shot the boy as retaliation for an unpaid Black Hand extortion attempt. Frank’s father, a grocer in Kansas City’s Little Italy, had received threatening Black Hand letters. He refused to pay, and Catanzaro shot Frank Jr. while he rode in one of his father’s delivery trucks. Although the police caught Catanzaro, he was never convicted, in part because of threats made against eyewitnesses to the crime.
At this point it means you're a clueless tard.What’s that supposed to mean?
Making excuses for the mafia is 100% as stupid as making excuses for the street thug gangs.I said POLICY. Yes, innocent bystanders were killed, BY ACCIDENT. And no, I didn't watch too many movies. My wife's family was mafia. Chicago to be specific, and it was never a policy to intentionally kill civilians.
Two days ago. Now does the OP understand?
IM2 will be stuck in the past until the day he dies, blaming whites for all the problems blacks have. It’s as pitiful as listening to a 60-year-old man blame his parents for his being a failure and living in a room in a flea-bitten hotel.Live today not off 200 years old stories you don’t know what is what after Stain re-write. You’re wasting your energy. Should I go back to the bullwhips and dead bodies in 110F heat building Pyramids? Those weren’t volunteers, of that I can assure you. Everyone everywhere has a piece of slavery in their blood. I demand my reparations from those forced to row ships across the ocean or get tossed overboard.
live now. No one cares about 200 yr old stories right now.
I make no excuses for the mafia. I merely point out that they didn't target civilians as policy because it was bad for business.Making excuses for the mafia is 100% as stupid as making excuses for the street thug gangs.
Every man in the mafia is 100% a piece of shit, and pretending they have some sort of “code of honor” that makes them better than common criminals is childish bullshit
Like the Islamic terrorists.I make no excuses for the mafia. I merely point out that they didn't target civilians as policy because it was bad for business.
They were, and are, scumbags. They always will be.
They just aren't as bad as the scumbags targeting civilians today
