Yeah, there have been plenty of other people kicked out for all sorts of things. Engaged in crime not related to LCN, high on drugs, theft, and so on.
Can you imagine they kick out a black guy that was once associated with the bloods or a Puerto rican once affiliated with the latin kings.You can only get away with doing something like this to an Italian or a white guy.
I'm with you in spirit only because I know there's a huge push for more racial and gender diversity on the docks, both States have literally admitted as such in writing. But kicking out a black guy because he has ties to the Bloods is not beyond their M.O. and is definitely something they would do. They've kicked out people of all races for shit like having shoplifting charges on their record from years prior, or for having a DUI. They've kicked out people for pissing hot for marijuana. A lot of times these are instances where the perp lied about the charge/convictions, which is the big smoking gun - but if there was a known Bloods associate working as a checker or something and they found out, he'd be out of there, no doubt about it. They can use the "compromises the integrity of the ports and the integrity of the stevedores" thing and apply it to literally anything, no matter how minor. Obviously they have the biggest hard on for people who have any sort of tie to the 5 families, but they take the "fuck it all" approach and turn down applicants or suspend licenses for very minor things for everybody, not just middle aged Italians.
I wonder how they're going to treat marijuana now that it's legal in NJ though...
