Yeah, well either way the guys a scumbag.

Which one? Paciello or Merlino?

Preach, Little Brother, preach!

Where's the link? Who's the source? Did the Feds document it with form # IT-406-NN-44-up-your-ooogool? Any pictures?

I say it's nonsense. We all know that, in most cases, they're not killing rats anymore. But if he got called out in public this would force Merlino's hand. He'd lose too much face if he didn't do something.

And why the fuck would a Colombo rat decide to antagonize a Philly guy? Or better yet, why would Joey initiate a staredown with a rat from another family? His attitude would surely be to let New York clean up their own mess.

To each his own, but I ain't buying it.

It's been said before, "if you can quote the rules, you can live by the rules"

It's just humorous how some want everyone to post by a standard but don't follow the standard themselves. Me I just don't have the time, energy or ambition to go thru fifty thousand old documents. Of which most of these documents are skewed by informants or agents with an agenda.

I don't know. Pic on RD is pretty reliable. Not saying its def true but I wouldn't just say no because its not in the paper. And my two cents, if this did happen, Merlino did what he was suppose to do. I don't think it would force him to do shit. He just got out of jail and Chris P is a dirtbag just looking for some press. Whats he suppose to fight him? We all know this is not going to be some hit cause Merlino got called out. And If something did happen, it wouldn't happen now. But Merlino does have a long memory. But in the long Run, Merlino did the right thing. Chris P didn't rat on him. Whats he care? Hes chilling getting an envelope each month. He doesn't want to rock the boat.

That was exactly my point. Why would Joey even get into a staredown with the guy when his family had NOTHING to do with that piece of shit?

Paciello or lugdewigen whatever his name is.

I agree. But who knows if Merlino was staring at him at all. He could have been looking at the two chicks he was with or not looking at all. I wouldn't put it pass Chris P to just come up to Merlino to drum up some controversy. Maybe Merlino didn't even know what Chris P looked like and someone pointed him out and Chris saw it. Anything, or nothing, could have happened.

Fair enough, SP. Nice to see you posting here again .

Does anybody know when this was supposed to have happened? Was it recently or years ago? I can almost swear that I have read about this years ago, or...read a similar story with other participants. Idk, maybe I just had a strange deja vu experience when I read it today?

You're thinking of the altercation at Råsunda Fotbollsstadion.

See what I did there, Hairy? PB's pretty sharp, ain't he?

PB you crack me up

whats the pic on rd show? i am not a member of rd and they wont let me in

I'm a funny guy .


No, Pic is short for Picasso. He's a poster there.

Hahaha! Impressive! Yes you are pretty sharp, men om jag skulle börja prata svenska med dej, hade du inte förstått ett ord...

I ain't that fuckin sharp.

Me neither, can't join and can't lurk

Chris Paciello also got into it wih some gangmembers of the Latin Kings and i think there is still a hit on him till this day.

Botz where did u hear that

Agreed, how do we know what what was said to each other. Chris could have been saying "welcome home, glad to see you are out. Why don't you come by my club.."

He's safe in Miami because there are so few Latins there .

If they wanted him dead, he'd be at the bottom of Biscayne Bay right now.

Heres the incident with the latin kings.
http://miamilifemagazine.com/true_story_miami_beach.html
"In the summer of 1994, after being kicked out of Club USA for fighting, Paciello and Caruso approached the velvet rope at the underground dance hall Sound Factory. Bouncers refused to let them in.

An all-out brawl ensued. The bouncers sprayed the two men with Mace and fire extinguishers. The menacing head of security, Alex Cofield—a reputed member of the Latin Kings, whom the Drug Enforcement Agency later caught on tape admitting to "roid rage"—came running out of the lobby of the club brandishing an ax handle. Paciello grabbed the handle from Cofield's hands and proceeded to brain the bouncer with his own weapon. Wounded and humiliated, Cofield vowed revenge.

Last year, Paciello tried to downplay the incident, telling the Voice: "I did get into a scuffle with a bouncer at Sound Factory. It was a case of an overcrowded club and a bouncer with an attitude. It ended up getting physical, but nothing out-of-hand or dangerous to anyone else."

Afterward, Paciello and Caruso fled to Florida, where Paciello was planning to open a club. But the fallout from the incident continued to reverberate. In 1995, on a trip back to New York, Caruso was warned by bouncers at the Tunnel that Cofield was looking "to take you out." In an attempt to smooth things over, Caruso set up a meeting at a Union Square coffee shop. Cofield demanded that Caruso pay his medical bills, which he did.

During a second meeting with Cofield, Caruso supplied information about Paciello's day-to-day routine: his home address, the name of the gym he frequented. Unbeknownst to Caruso, Cofield secretly recorded the meeting, and a copy ended up in Paciello's hands. Furious that his business partner had betrayed him, Paciello hopped on a plane to New York and made his way to the Tunnel, where he confronted Caruso, beat him to a pulp, then stuck a gun in his face. Only the intervention of Paciello's friend kept him from pulling the trigger."

I know it happened. I'm just saying that if they really wanted him dead, he'd be dead. You can't swing a dead cat in Miami without hitting someone with a relative in that gang.

You aint missing anything major

picasso is a retired/shelved genovese made guy out of north jersey

In the era that he claimed to come up, the Westside shelved you all right. They shelved you with a bullet. Yeah, that's the ticket. Tino shelved him!

The Greek...talk about gangster through and through

interesting to hear pic is back at rd, they prob begged him like crazy to come back lol

The truth? The guy is a great poster and VERY well informed. I'm just not buying his alleged pedigree.

oh i agree, i was joking above, like others i believe he is steve l but he is a wealth of knowledge thats for sure, good guy in all my interactions with him i dont have any qualms with him

They prob figured that by having him back on the board they can try and stop the disillusionment of some of the longtime members who are still left on that board

Yeah, good point..these punks don't fear retribution from other mob guys from different crews..Yeah, the old timers would pop him just to make an example out of him to all the other punks who can't do the time !!

That is the way I thought it would/should work...
