Wearing fucking masks? How much worse can these mobsters get? Notice that the guy in the middle who actually dresses well is the only one not wearing one. He should have slapped those masks off their fuckin face.

Rush what's wrong with you? Were you bullied as a child over what you wore to school? It's a very weird obsession you have with how people dress.

They're dressed like old guys dress. The wives probably got most of those outfits at Ross. Not a big deal.

What is interesting is the fact they'd meet in a park. It's a mob cliche.

From the gangland article:

Andrew DiSimone, Michael (Big Mike) DeSantis, Villani, Anthony (Bowat) Baratta, George (Georgie Neck) Zappola, and Frank (Skinny Frank) Salerno.

HA. You and the outfits man! In regards to the masks I hear you, but this was 2020, and all these guys were/are "at risk." I agree it's lame but it was probably required during that time. Especially in NYC.

Yes good point. I believe it was an arrestable offense back then if you were not wearing a mask in NYC as crazy as that is.

Incredibly dumb times we're living in!

If the time stamps are correct, this would have been shot in early May of 2020 - pretty well the early height of the pandemic - in New York no less which had some of the most draconian COVID restrictions in the country.

In the context of May 2020, if you're a member of a secret criminal organization, why would you draw unnecessary attention to yourself by not wearing a mask?

I guarantee you that there's occasions where these gentlemen actually "dress like mobsters," trust me Rush.

Agree 100%. If they wear pinstripe suits and fedora hats like they are extras in an Al Capone movie, they are going to stand out like sore thumbs. This way they look like a bunch of normal guys who get together in the park once in a while and BS about the old neighborhood. As for the masks, most of those guys are older, probably some pre existing health conditions so why take a chance?

Anyone know what park this is

I believe it's the one opposite Rao's but not certain
