The Burnstein bashing is getting pretty old.. Yes, he can be silly (he's admitted to being a nerd) sometimes but when he gets stuff really wrong he's usually good at correcting himself imo. He has definitely interviewed and been around more gangsters than any of his critics on the forums.
His compulsive nicknaming is hilarious. I remember when Pennisi couldn't hide his frustration regarding Stephen Crea being referred to as "Wonder/ Wonderboy":
" I just have to say, I never heard ANYONE refer to him as Stevie Wonder on the streets!"
Also, everyone over 45 yrs old is an emeritus hahaha..
He's a passionate nerd. Not unlike a lot of BH members... Except he doesn't cosplay as a street guy.
Just to be clear as I’ve been commenting here I don’t think I’ve ever bashed Scott. The nicknames are ridiculous and I think his credibility is questionable until some of the claims he has made come to fruition. But I have nothing against it and I enjoy the content I just don’t trust much of it. I agree though that people criticize him and say things are wrong when they have no proof themselves to the contrary so there is a balance.
I mentioned no names and I agree he gets carried away and can be over the top. Sometimes even flat out wrong. I just don't like the mean spirited and underhanded tone that's sometimes used here. I like this forum for the fact that it's usually a polite place for good discussions.
As anyone who has ever been around serious people or been in prison knows, good manners and politeness are crucial. Thanks Brovelli, you are hereby a BH emeritus in my book
The headline story on his site calls this a 'South Philly Mob Brawl'. He tries to make things so much more than they are. Sloppy drunk punches a girl and her family comes down to intervene. That's what happened. He had a video out in minutes trying to turn this into a potential mafia war. That bothers me. Clickbait.

Agree with all though maybe I need to spend some more time in prison cause I do not have a clue what emeritus means I’m gonna assume a compliment

Have I been misunderstanding or haven't they been referring to DiBella as a 60 year old guy? Doesn't seem like that is that case.
Yes that’s what I thought also. Someone was definitely referring to DiBella as a 60 something year old.
Why you say that’s not the case?
Not to add to the confusion but I see there is a DiBella and Sons Construction Corp in South Philly maybe this Mike is the son of the guy who owns that company.
Based off the ages of the two it's most likely the son. Baldino tagged the son in a few facebook post. So I'd assume he is hanging with the son and not the father. Could be wrong thoo. Only saw one mike dibella on FB as well. Doesn't mean the dad isn't mike as well. Just only found one mike

That one was great. He'll still refer to him as that in any article.
So Scott is reporting one of the people involved in the Chickie and Pete's fight, Burglarized a house of a Bruno/Scarfo guy. Who's left of those guys? Narducci, Faffy, ligambi, joe grande?

It's Narducci's property that was broken into
His place in Mullica Hill? or a property he owns in Philly? Any idea on who broke in? Scott made it sound like it wasn't Baldino or DiBella, but someone who was with them. But I could have misunderstood. Seems like this Baldino is a wild card.
I’m gonna assume a compliment
