@Stroccos and FOH
Don’t indulge jaredjoseph or Ruggiero. Wild Indians who rob old ladies with gooks are low life pieces of shit. The red dot is back
That's interesting and I'm not sure what you're trying to imply especially since we were just DMing eachother a little bit ago. I can't lay a finger on what exactly I did to offend anybody off the top of my head but it's smart to be skeptical as I said previously to FriendofHenry. I can understand your concern with individuals new to this forum coming here asking about a more-obscure family though. In context, Pittsburgh has been an interest of mine going on a while. One of my reasons being my hometown is in WV (I currently reside in Shenandoah, Va). With that said, I only knew about the major NYC crime families for the majority of my time until I found Pittsburgh and their connection to WV. So yes, my intent on this forum is primarily to learn more about the family of which I have a vested interest in. - If there's any apparent reason you don't want me to ask questions any longer, just say the word for I am fine with sitting back.
Hope I've got that cleared up for you. Ruggiero
I just came across these replies from my original ( & first post since joining this forum) & I have to reiterate / agree with Ruggiero's sentiment ( in some regards.)
I respectfully responded to this thread with the sincere notion of thanking the gentlemen who took the time to share their knowledge of this topic. ( which is indeed much more informative than anything else Ive read online over the years, pertaining to the Pittsburgh LCN.)
I was born/raised in SW Pennsylvania, spent almost 40 years of my life in that area & have had a genuine interest in the Pittsburgh LCN, since my teenage years, in which my high school P.O.D teacher was fascinated with the Porter/Raucci trial & passed around the PPG daily, for all of us to read.
In the passing decades, my fascination with the Pittsburgh LCN ( & especially the story of Chucky Porter) has only grown.
I definitely never had any inclination of coming here to start any drama. Hell, Im a middle aged man. I too, just want to read & learn, like the many other members here.
