I'm no fan of any of these criminals, but I do find them interesting and intriguing relative to how they are capable of doing the things they do. Most of these guys should be locked up. I occasionally make a comment or post an article. I realize I'm "out of my depth" with most folks on the board, but some of you guys (yourself included) save me lots of time by providing information that I'm trying to find.

I started reading about The Chicago Outfit back in the 60's and have continued on-and-off for years. Being composed of just one family makes it easier to follow timelines, etc. I've done the same with NY.

I know what you're talking about with the personal attacks and profanity-laced responses. Totally uncalled for and rather childish. Differences should be respected and not denigrated. Discussions and debate can take place without personal attacks. I hope it stops.
