My father used to quip about the Chicago Outfit: "The real organized crime is in City Hall." lolViola said:Viewing some of these mobsters and the lawmen who chased them in the context of their time, it's pretty hard to tell all the good guys from the bad guys.

Lotta Little said:I'd be Dion O'Banion, as I am a North Sider in Chicago. I think it's too bad this thread took such a moralistic turn, rather than being a discussion of famous mob figures and their places in history. I come here for fun, and I don't always find it.
Viola said:Ah, Chicago. The only city that can still teach my dear old hometown (Philadelphia) anything about corruption.
Fedord Spaniard said:wow its rare for me to find a lady that knows about the chicago wiseguys or wiseguys in general. why O'Banion besides that he was a fellow northsider and what did you think of the valentine's day backlash?
Fedord Spaniard said:i see youre another lady that seems to know about the mobbies. everythin in the wiseguy world in philly went into chaos after the angelo bruno hit just like the galante hit within the bonannos a year before.
Fedord Spaniard said:For the members of this forum familiar with organized crime history, if you had to be a historical mobster [who] would you be . . . ?

Fedord Spaniard said:wow sing sing, that prison has had some of the biggest fish in mob history executed there.
Viola said:I'm family-of-family sort-of-related to Dutch Schultz! lol
Not much like Bugsy Siegal, "Without style, a man's got nothing. You might as well be dead."
Well now they're both dead. Think Bugsy is still in a nicer suit? [huh]
