Angelesca had dabbled in later years but I never heard him called a junkie except on this board. Lines of coke are basically accepted in Boston for 40-50 years and there doesnt seem to be any real oldtimer anti-drug culture here...

Ya Rossetti was a dope shooter... and I’ve heard angelesco and giangrande were far from dabblers... like I said I heard when billy was locked up in Shirley I think it was that he had his little squad dragging 20 bags of commissary to the blacks or whoever to trade for dope and he was smoking crack out of a dried out chicken bone while locked up.. his f Hes doing that inside I could only imagine what he was doing in the streets . I give him props though for taking sentences on the chin and kicking in jail...

Pogo

Maybe 50%were using,but 100% selling indirectly or directly.

Very interesting.
The Pat's really haven't been mentioned much when it comes to wholesale dope.

Who were they supplying??
