southphilly13 is defnitely correct that every one of those bars has poker machines back in them and have had them in there for quite some time...and they always will. And I know everyone here didn't mean to slander your brothers name. Its not right.
But for you to call people junkies, when in turn your brother caused many of those same people to become junkies over the years is not right. He made money off them but now that two turned on him, they are junkies? Nah they are just rats. Not all rats are junkies and not all junkies are rats. SouthPhilly13 I agree with some of what you say, espeically how they try to put these some guys away for gambling longer then some of these North philly guys get for murder, but your acting typical south philly here. I would stick up for my brother to but no need to trash people who your brother helped become junkies. I lived in both south philly and washington twp so I know your brothers reputation...he is no angel.
I've never really understood that. The video poker thing, I mean. If the cops are going to do a raid, unless it's just to do it every once in a while to break some balls or make the papers, what's the use of doing it at all if the machines are right back in those joints a short time later? Maybe it's a priority thing. Video poker machines used for illegal gambling wouldn't last a week here in Utah.
