John Pennisi Sighting / Sit Down News

[Pmac2]

Up in massachusetts but we're all LIUNA. That's funny John's a safety guy on sites. Writing guys up for not wearing safety glasses or hi vis or not being tied off. What a job for a turncoat. Then he gets loud goes to the super and gets you thrown off the job. What a bum

I remember asking Penissi about a year ago why he doesn't have an account here. His reply was something along the lines of "you guys are wannabes and I'm a true gangster." I just thought his input would have been valuable.

So people on here are wannabees but the people on YouTube are real gangsters

Funniest story he told was he was at a jobsite he was working and 6 bloods gang members came after him and he chased them away I can guarantee you this story never happened and if it did those gang members at the very least wouldve stomped the shit out of him after they knocked him out but most likely scenario would've been him being shot

He gets a lot of shit from people online and he doesn't come off as someone who takes the heat too well. I'm sure he insulates himself because of that. But his opinion of us over here wasn't good. We talk history and family trees...a lot of these younger mobsters don't know much about the history of Cosa Nostra. Just listen to Cicale. He's a real piece of work.

Pennisi's interested in the history and deeper stuff. He's not DiLeonardo where he was personally schooled in it and he basically started from zero but he is definitely interested in it along with the Sicilian mafia.

I don't know what his assumptions were about the board or if he ever saw it but the majority of talk about him on here is extremely negative. There have been a number of "names" who checked out the boards going back to the RD who decided not to post for similar reasons while other people have been able to stomach and even enjoy it for what it is.

Personally I love that this place is a mix of shit talk, serious research, and random gossip but it sucks when someone gets the wrong idea or doesn't want to deal with the downsides of the board and it ends up a lose/lose for us and them. Pennisi is everything we could ask for from a modern member source and any emotional reaction to him is beyond me.

There are alta posters and basso posters. BHF needs both. As Massino said, it takes all kinds of meat to make a good sauce.

If the nerds take over, it's all long autistic posts about someone's mother-in-law. If the meatheads take over, it's all angry one sentence posts about YouTube. The Black Hand recruits the best of the best from both camps and we're all united against liars.

I never understood guys who get mad at the site safety inspectors. Granted some of them can be dicks but everybody’s got a job right? Just wear your ppe it’s not that hard lol. I’ve been around construction a long time and I’ve seen them save a lot of guys from some bad situations so I appreciate their presence always. Majority of them just want to make sure everyone goes home in one piece. That’s just how I feel tho stay safe up there Pmac.

My apologies for veering off topic.

Getting back on topic I want to point out something Pennisi said in his latest video which is I believe different from what he has stated in the past. He said that it was Joe DiBenedetto who proposed him not Big John, Big John just brought the proposal to the administration. This makes more sense because he didn’t know Big John very long by the time he got made but it’s definitely not how he described the situation in the past from what I can remember.

Agree. This is a mafia board. About, the mafia. We have a modern member who regularly posts about the modern mob, its culture, relationships, anecdotes, a little unheard info..... and we have girls on here bitching about how he takes questions on Youtube.

If the nerds take over, it's all long autistic posts about someone's mother-in-law. If the meatheads take over, it's all angry one sentence posts about YouTube. The Black Hand recruits the best of the best from both camps and we're all united against liars.

Great post. We need the mix. We have a balance of the old and the new, formal an in, a bunch of research and a touch of 'street'.

I wonder if any members have actually been here, seen the charts. We slam dunk Jerry with our nuts in his face.

When you are installing rebar in 100° + heat in your required jeans and 3 inch sleeves for a t shirt and ur Eyewear is constantly fogging up it gets aggravating. More so when the safety guy walks out of the climate controlled trailer only to get coffee, lunch and to bust your balls. He needs to be outside for most of the day to experience the wear and tear our ppe goes through....just my 2 cents...

Penissi is very approachable and him and myself would chat once in a while on Instagram. Very nice guy. Too bad the trash talking scares off some of these guys. I was hoping to have him contribute here. On the other hand, if you want to ask him something he replies to most of his dm's on insta.

I wonder if pennisi quit his laborers union job.

He runs the safety division of a large construction company. He’s been in the safety side of the business for a long time.

Pmac you’re in 79, 731, 1010 or something else?

oh, then he's doing ok. didn't he do that when he was a big bad gangster?

i stand corrected

does he work in the city?

A safety guy is perfect for him. He is good at telling everybody what they are doing wrong

100%. I cant stand the guy. But everyone has their opinion. I see some guys like him. Good for them. I find him dishonest and rude.
Its disappointing to me. Of all the guys to flip in the modern era and we get this cavone.
I was a pipe insulator. Local 33. My father was for 30 years. I did it early 20s and figured out what I didnt want to do.

I have the exact opposite opinion. Hes the worst we could have gotten. Hes a blow hard who won every sit down, schooled others on cosa nostra. Is rude and disrespectful to people who take the time to comment. Forget he beat a woman and killed an innocent young guy over a woman. He never had a racket whatsoever, he said he had a half sheet with three customers, i know cops with a bigger sheet. He flipped without being charged with a crime (because he wasnt involved in any), the story about the house rattling is completely bizarre, he is an overall bad guy that wasnt into anything. What i get from his stories he was a weirdo that got made fun of and abused. He thought he was gonna get killed? No one has killed anyone in decades. There are more killers in the knights of columbus. Gimme a break w this guy.
Anyways. Hope youre well.

[SonnyBlackstein]

Cheech.

He's rude and disrespectful?

Did 17 in the can and became an inducted guy. IN the mafia.

You don't like how this, made guy is "disrespectful to people on youtube"?
Disrespectful to posters on youtube.
That's your issue?

Dude, you're upset that a career criminal, 17yrs in the can, member of a criminal organisation.... is disrespectful to people on youtube.

He gave us Sally whoever was acting boss, gave us Georgie Neck was capo of jersey, gave us all the info on the Perna's.

But you're upset because he isn't sweet and full of candy to idiots who post.

Cmon Cheech.

[SonnyBlackstein]

And that's fine.

So why you still in this thread you don't like him?
