THE BLACK HAND FORUM

Curious if any of you have read “The Insane Chicago Way” by John Haggedorn of University of Chicago? Seems to be about Latin gangs in Chicago, working in concert with the outfit, attempting to model themselves after the mob. Lots of references to the C notes. thinking of ordering it. It’s an excell...

If that comment really was left by RJ than he's a complete clown. Which one of his 36 rules of the bosses is he applying now?

If RJ was more informed instead of spending time boasting about 'making history' he and Scars could have a show with the credibility to avoid any potential swipes from other content creators. He's still more into 'The 36 rules of the bosses'. I agree the implication that he got Cali convicted was sn...

Mikey Scars said he wasn't that mad at it, I think the title of the video is a bit misleading. Ironically... When Scars was pointing out the things he had an issue with (seems like its just the Shortz video coming off like Mikey Scars was solely responsible for Cali's conviction), RJ just stared bla...

I’ve been reporting practically the exact same thing in real time over the past 8 months and you guys are praising Jerry ? He’s almost a year late . I was finessing my language and didn’t say demoted or shelved because of people like ALL OF YOU but made it very clear he was forced off the throne an...

Wikipedia mentions that Richard J Daley in his youth was part of the Hamburg Athletic Club, and further describes it as "an athletic, social, street gang and political organization near his home. Hamburg and similar clubs were funded, at least in part, by local Democratic politicians" -- ...

The references are similar but have Polizzi and LiMandri in slightly different roles. In the one story, they went to LA and kidnapped Polizzi, which makes sense as he was a Desimone loyalist, who claimed ignorance. In the other, Bello attributes the info about the plot to LiMandri who was taken to ...

These were played last week on a three part documentary series on the History Channel called American Godfathers: The Five Families. Part three was mostly about Massino and the Bannano family. Hmmm I think I missed this one. Not on Netflix or Hulu? I've seen the first episode. Typical wrong info......

What really irks me are when notes or prose are copied and pasted into somebody else's script without permission or acknowledgement. It takes a significant amount of time and effort to produce summaries or articles, and while it is a passion project it is still a project. I don't own the informatio...

A "MobTube" guy absolutely worthy of support is OCShortz. A complete gentleman who does a great show and also honorable when using info from us.

This is true.

Snakes is another great poster to read before a Chicago Mob Tube starts up.

Unfortunately it looks like most of the lists mentioned on his posts are from the 60s and 70s. The lowest of those being 1979.
