Jimmy calandra q and a

Post by phatmatress777 »

I just spoke with the former bath Ave crew member Jimmy calandra he has agreed to do a q and a for the forum and I also extended him an invite to our great forum. I gave him some topics that might be asked of course his mafia history fatherhood living as a felon changing your life around being in prison dealing with infamous fame drug addiction and I told him that we would keep the questions in a positive informative matter. No rat bashing I will not ask dick questions. So think up some questions for mr calandra some questions i will ask them and he pro!used to reply. I think this will go better than the Michael franzese ordeal as Jimmy calandra is easier to reach and not quite as busy.

Did Anthony Spero really encourage the killing of cooperater's families? from what I can tell D'Arco is the only source of this information but spero strikes me as 100% lcn and killing innocent civilians conflicts with lcn protocol... and I would also like to know if he ever talked to Massino and what was the transition like when Massino became boss

no questions but jimmy seems like a good dude. I don't condone cooperation but he was in a fucked up spot and the treachery around him got to be too much. He seems like a guy I could bullshit with if we met in the streets. Wish him the best.

Any stories/info about Bonanno members would be appreciated. Not sure how to get more specific than that, but I know he was familiar with Spero, Benanti,and I'm sure others.
