Today marks the 90th year anniversary of The St Valentine’s Day Massacre, which saw the slayings of seven members and associates of Chicago’s North Side Gang led by Bugs Moran. The men were gathered at a Lincoln Park garage on the morning of Valentine’s Day 1929, where they were made to line up against a wall before being shot by four unknown assailants carrying Shoguns and Tommy Guns. It was a cold and chilly morning…

Alphonse Gabriel Capone was born the fourth of nine children, on January 17, 1899, on Navy Street, in the section of Brooklyn now known as DUMBO (Down Under the Manhattan Bridge Overpass). Capone stayed in school until the 6th grade, when in…
This is the 4th and final installment about the life and times of Chicago’s most feared hit man Harry “The Hook” Aleman. Harry had been raised in the mob life by a spouse abuser and violent criminal. He turned to a father figure in his uncle, Joe Ferriola, a member of the Chicago Outfit. Even though Harry was indoctrinated in a criminal’s life, he had this extra intelligence that many professional criminals never exhibit. He…
Other Episodes Episode 20: Alarm Codes and Larceny So, as I mentioned before, I worked for a couple years at a gym called Rose Shores Athletic Club, where I fleeced the place for my uncle, Pete Tocco. The owner was a cokehead gambling degenerate dirtbag, so I felt no guilt about skimming a couple grand a week from the place. It was a real gold mine, too. At least while it lasted. Working there…

This will be a long and crazy path so hang on and keep reading. I mentioned earlier how much inside information on Aleman came from a Taylor Street crew member named Lou Almeida. Almeida…

As a child, the years between 1977 – 1980, were a personal nightmare. It was also when I had begun my quest for an anti-hero. There was a few to choose from, but one interested me more than most. He had not long absconded, you cannot escape from an open jail, from HMP Spring Hill located in the village of Grendon Underwood, in Buckinghamshire, England. As a ten-year-old, I was fascinated, unfortunately, the internet didn’t…
People that know me, know that the police and me don’t exactly see eye to eye. However, one thing that is important to me is justice. Our prisons around the world are full of the falsely accused and the innocent. There have been a lot of cases recently, and historically, that have shocked me.
