THE BLACK HAND FORUM

Has there been any valid reason why the Colombo’s would be willing to give Vito up? If they made him in the can and stuck by him, why would they even consider letting him go? He’s clearly bringing boatloads of respect and street cred to any sit down he goes to no matter what crew he sits down with ...

What was the latest on Narducci? Weren’t people saying he’s retired and only runs his restaurant or am I thinking of someone else. Years back Dave or Scott or someone reported that there were several factions of the Philly fam and this seems to bear that out. No way Phil is retired if he’s meeting ...

If any such altercation occurred, it was the least violent incident in all of Chicagoland that weekend lol. Sadly even if it was almost no one cares about the bloodier incidents that no doubt occurred. That's not how this all works, as I'm sure you know. If a dozen black and Latino kids get brutall...

Don’t underestimate Chicago gang lore nationally. If you’re from the southeastern US and go to state prison, you’re inately in tune with Chicago street culture & that filters to the street & vice versa. The largest SCR stronghold is in MS (not northside Chicago)and their top “opps” are an a...

Joey will be back in the boss seat in no time

I’ll be in nyc first time in a few months and am debating dinner in Bronx little Italy vs mulberry. Is it safe to assume mulberry is more touristy & Bronx is more authentic these days? Don’t give a shit about trying to spot wiseguys, just a good night out. The restaurants in the Bronx look good...

Hot take: mob will be around in a decade in similar numbers but a far cry from what it was operationally at power peak. The FBI is moving more resources to terrorism and the mob has very little violence anymore. In 10-20 years the mob will be majority guys who aren’t violent at all. The core of bein...

John Jr goes into much detail in his new Valuetainment interview. Here's a good clip: https://youtu.be/eFM3EhTdqrs?si=MdBi2CSU6wFvt4uQ Full interview: https://youtu.be/5xPrnpcyYP8?si=YS0wWizCL4o7gszg Junior comes off as full of shit. He tries too hard the thread the needle. So the loophole he’s try...

Don’t disagree but without the big public he’s shelved via Capeci no one really believes he’s out. Not sure who the ‘no one’ is you’re referring to here but I think what they’re saying has happened to Merlino makes perfect sense. If it’s 100% true or not I can’t rightfully say but in lieu of puttin...

Can’t believe we’ve made it this far without it being said. What if Merlino wanted to be shelved? I’ve implied this possibility in a couple posts. He knows the life too well to not know where this would take him but at the same time he could have just bowed out gracefully and not have it end in dis...

Can’t believe we’ve made it this far without it being said. What if Merlino wanted to be shelved? What if the guy has had enough of the FBI pressure & will never flip so this was his out? He was literally on tape in his last trial saying he doesn’t do anything illegal. If he semi-retired a la Li...

South Philly is the most Italian of Little Italys. Easy way to know if there are a lot of Italians is the number of butchers and bakers. I know of 3 butchers, just off the top of my head, in S. Philly. There's 1 bakery remaining in the North End. As crazy as it sounds, St Louis has one of the best ...

Nadu posted video from inside the restaurant. Hard to tell what’s going on but sounds like the Joey guy keeps telling the Mike guy to stop and Mike is who hit the girl.
