Joe Valachi struck a made member. I forgot the name but Valachi mentions it in his book. I believe it was a Gambino member and Albert Anastasia went to bat for him (Valachi).

It's a new morning in America... fresh, vital. The old cynicism is gone. We have faith in our leaders. We're optimistic as to what becomes of it all. It really boils down to our ability to accept. We don't need pessimism. There are no limits.

Good reason why it doesn't happen often, Patsy Parrello must hate himself for smacking Tore Locascio

Jimmy caci went around smacking everyone in the LA family including Louis Caruso and Tommy gambino. Then they apparently all pretended like it never happened and avoided each other until it blew over

Yes. Tommy apparently was interjecting that he knew Cosa Nostra after Jimmy was angry Louis brought two bikers to a sit down, saying it insulted him that Louis would even bring muscle to a sit down and that Tommy should have guided him more to follow the rules

Yes I remember this now Valachi punched Anthony Luciano for stealing from a business they had together. Anastasia mediated the sit down and took Valachi's side.

You're not even supposed to touch made guys sons. As an aside, I had heard Sal Spatola was made into the Gambino's in the late 70's when his uncle Joe was going away because there was a lineup of guys looking to bust his head. He had not long before gotten an ashtray bashed over his head and needed to be protected while his uncle was away.

Thats another situation where there were talks and sitdowns over Radice and basically the Bonannos just told the Gambinos fuck u we're gonna get him anyway like many situations where no one respects the other side and guys go unprotected and no one does shit

Listen if you're a street guy your whole life your going to lose a couple fights along the way. Shit happens it doesn't make you any less of a man but its your response that people will watch for. If its a made guy and you're not you gotta take it in stride.

Nino Gaggi caught some neighborhood teens whistling at his sister in law, and retrieved a hammer to go teach the kids a lesson. One of the kids, a golden gloves boxer, ducked Gaggi’s hammer swing and knocked him out clean with a left hook, breaking his nose. This is like ‘75, ‘76, when Gaggi was a captain. Picture that—a freaking 17, 18 year old kid knocking out a Gambino captain with one punch in front of the whole neighborhood. They kid fled town for Florida for several months. He eventually came back and Gaggi and DeMeo killed the kid like 16 months later. Took a couple tries but they got him.

I’ve heard that story a bunch of times. First time though that I heard he was just a kid. Dominick Montiglio said he grew up with ‘Vinny Mook’ and at that time Dominick was nearly 30 years old.
Nice rug ya got here kid...it’d be great for a craps game

Radice probably paid for his button. The then Bonanno consig Simone Esposito proposed Thomas Carrube for 10k to protect him from Lovaglio.
