Some fucked up shit no matter what he family has done

[Angelo Santino]

According to Scott, Giacalone's wife has openly told him that she blames him for it and that what happened to their daughter is karma for the life he lived.

35 years old with a life expectancy of 55 “at best”

She can only communicate with her eyes...

I have no words...

[Pogo The Clown]

The rumor at the time was that it was really a drug overdose and the family covered it up.

I’m interested to see if/when the media will make the connection.

Story is being picked up by Yahoo, Fox News and Italian sites, but not Detroit papers. Odd.

Fuck man, talk about a horrible situation... I imagine if Jackie sits there and is tortured in his own mind thinking If this is somehow some fucked up karma for the life he has led.. I couldn’t imagine being the parents..

My aunt who was perfectly healthy, randomly at the age of 33 had some weird health problems that started to affect her memory and her motor skills.. a few months later she was diagnosed with progressive ms. Within a few years she was wheelchair bound and not long after she lost all speech/ communication... so for the last like 25 years she was confined to a recliner chair in my grandmas living room, not being able to say a word or communicate anything, my grandma had to change her diapers and feed her strictly blended liquid meals with one of those big liquid syringes... last year I moved in with my grandma to help her since she was 87 and could no longer drive, within a few months of me being there my aunt got fluid in her lungs, took her to the hospital, she was there for about a week until the doctors said she was too weak to do surgery on to get a feeding tube, so my grabdma decided to take her back home, where hospice came and dropped off liquid morphine and liquid ativan.. I was in charge of administering her the meds.. after about 4 days one evening I was giving her meds, gave her the liquid ativan, then was preparing the liquid morphine right in front of her, and standing like 6 inches away from her I saw her take her last breath... pretty fucked up... but I think living in a vegetative state for over 20 years is even worse...

My prayers go out to the giacalone family..

Jackie has been in a deep depression since this happened - he's taken this very, very hard. Its incredibly tragic, obviously. I knew Chantel. Not well, but i knew her and i was close friends with some of her close friends. Between Feb 2012 and March 2013, Jackie lost his dad (Billy Jack), his best friend, top adviser/biggest earner (Fat Allen) and his daughter for all intents and purposes. The last 8-9 years have not been kind to him, despite him becoming boss.

He's in Merlino/Solly D mode, removed from day-to-day affairs, takes pieces of everyone's rackets but stays away. Pete Tocco and Tony Lop run things day to day. They headquarter down the street from each other in Birmingham, Lop at his restaurant and PT at the cigar shop at the corner. PT meets with Jackie every Tue and Thu morning at The Stage Deli in West Bloomfield.

AND YES, NOT A SINGLE MEDIA OUTLET MADE THE CONNECTION AND THE DETROIT MEDIA DIDNT REPORT A SINGLE THING ABOUT ANY OF IT!!!

I've stayed away from reporting on this particular aspect of Jackie's life. I hope Chantel finds peace.

Wow if that is true , if so thats one mean low IQ lady . I also found people that say shit like that are really talking about themselves so maybe that’s the case ?

[Villain]

One old timer once told me...and he spoke from his own experience...that karma is not something supernatural but instead its some type of domino effect which sooner or much later returns to you like a boomerang in a negative or positive manner, depending on what type of move you made that started the whole reaction or saga

This is horrific and heartbreaking. Poor kid

Despite the arguing over the status of Detroit I’m shocked no one mentioned the mob boss connection. Like I thought it would be a pretty big story
