real life Gangsters view this site? - 01/03/11 06:31 PM
I wonder if they do. Believe it or not they are very smart and internet savy. I know John Veasey of Philly uses Facebook etc. alot of Gangsters love Gangster movies and books.
I hope they do view this site, they are human beings like the rest of us and can be conversed with on the same level we do with each other.
Yeah, apart from the whole homicidal a-hole thing, sure.

Yeah people like Gotti Sr when he was alive and Carmine Persico (has sent letters to Capeci) just to name a few
Yeah i remember reading about Junior Persico emailing Capeci re. his love for the column, but was slightly annoyed at being described as older then he actually was.

Jerry Capeci Is well respected amongst LCN members believe it or not. His writings and books tend not to show only the bas side of gangsters but alot of the good things they have done. I read an article one time where Fat Pete Chiodo sent a letter to Capeci from the Witness Protection Program that said:
Jerry, since you made this a pay to play site you can see who subscribes and who doesnt. You would be suprised to know that maybe 40 percent of your pay to play customers are wiseguys. You are the talk amongst alot of morning expressos and are considered off limits for a hit.....you should take pride in that Jerry, the only other people considered off limits to a hit in our thing was cops and families.
Not word for word, but close anyway.

We know how well that worked out for Chiodo
