Frank Schweih a stone cold killer.


From now on, nothing goes down unless I'm involved. No blackjack no dope deals, no nothing. A nickel bag gets sold in the park, I want in. You guys got fat while everybody starved on the street. Now it's my turn.

It really doesn't matter how physically imposing you are in 2014. After fights in HS and/or college depending how serious and your age it's usually knocked down to a D.C. (Disorderly Conduct) but anymore who wants to get charged with a felony like aggravated assault or an m1/m2 for simple assault

When 16 year old socially inept kids start showing up at school with automatic weapons because they're picked on, that couldn't be a more true statement wink.

Where did the term "going postal" come from? I think in know the answer but in all seriousness, how many disgruntled postal workers have actually "gone postal"?

According to Wikepedia Holyoke there seems to have a lot. Check it out:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Going_postal

Notable postal shootings[edit]
Main article: List of postal killings
Edmond, Oklahoma in 1986[edit]
On August 20, 1986, 14 employees were shot and killed and six wounded at the Edmond, Oklahoma, post office by Patrick Sherrill, a postman who then committed suicide with a shot to the forehead.[3]

Ridgewood, New Jersey in 1991[edit]
A former United States postal worker, Joseph M. Harris, killed his former supervisor, Carol Ott, and killed her boyfriend, Cornelius Kasten Jr., at their home. The following morning, on October 10, 1991, Harris shot and killed two mail handlers, Joseph M. VanderPaauw, 59, of Prospect Park, N.J., and Donald McNaught, 63, of Pompton Lakes, N.J. at the Ridgewood, New Jersey Post Office.[4][5]

Royal Oak, Michigan in 1991[edit]


The U.S. post office in Royal Oak
On November 14, 1991 in Royal Oak, Michigan, Thomas McIlvane killed five people, including himself, with a Ruger 10/22 rifle in Royal Oak's post office, after being fired from the Postal Service for "insubordination." He had been previously suspended for getting into altercations with postal customers on his route.[6]

Double event in 1993[edit]
Two shootings took place on the same day, May 6, 1993, a few hours apart. At a post office in Dearborn, Michigan, Lawrence Jasion wounded three and killed one, and subsequently killed himself. In Dana Point, California, Mark Richard Hilbun killed his mother, then shot two postal workers dead.[7]

As a result of these two shootings, in 1993 the Postal Service created 85 Workplace Environment Analysts for domicile at its 85 postal districts. These new positions were created to help with violence prevention and workplace improvement. In February 2009, the Postal Service unilaterally eliminated these positions as part of its downsizing efforts.[8]

Goleta, California, in 2006[edit]
Jennifer San Marco, a former postal employee, killed six postal employees before committing suicide with a handgun, on the evening of January 30, 2006, at a large postal processing facility in Goleta, California.[9]

Police later also identified a seventh victim dead in a condominium complex in Goleta where San Marco once lived.[10]

According to media reports, the Postal Service had forced San Marco to retire in 2003 because of her worsening mental problems. Her choice of victims may have also been racially motivated; San Marco had a previous history of racial prejudice, and tried to obtain a business license for a newspaper of her own ideas, called The Racist Press, in New Mexico.

This incident is believed to be the deadliest workplace shooting ever carried out in the United States by a woman.[11][12]

Baker City, Oregon, in 2006[edit]
Grant Gallaher, a letter carrier in Baker City, Oregon, pleaded guilty to the April 4, 2006 murder of his supervisor.[13] He reportedly brought his .357 Magnum revolver to the city post office with the intention of killing his postmaster. Arriving at the parking lot, he reportedly ran over his supervisor several times. Subsequently he went into the post office looking for his postmaster. Not finding the postmaster, he went back out to the parking lot and shot his supervisor several times at close range, ostensibly to make sure she was dead. He then reportedly fired several more bullets into the supervisor's car.[citation needed]

Grant Gallaher reportedly was on a new route for three weeks and had felt pressured by a week-long work-time study and an extra 20 minutes added to his new route.[citation needed] On the day of his rampage, he reportedly was ahead of schedule on his route and his supervisor brought him more mail to deliver. He allegedly decided to take the matter up with his postmaster on his cell phone and then went home to get his .357 Magnum revolver to exact his revenge. The work climate had reportedly improved from what it was in 1998, the year a 53-year-old union steward at the Baker City post office committed suicide

And those are all good choices, Moe. But it's the connected guys who were with these guys who were the real steroid cases over the years. And most of those guys still go nameless. If Matty the Horse himself (who also had a big presence) knocked on your door, it wasn't him you had to keep your eye on. It was the guy standing next to him wink.

Good topic, though smile.


5'11" is still taller than average.

Tommy Bilotti looked like a tough little fire hydrant but I've only seen a few photos of him, so he could just be a fat boy.
In his younger years Tony Roach Rampino looked very menacing and that is exactly what Gotti used him for- intimidation. What about Chris Pacillo- he was supposed to be very strong

I read a description of Bilotti being described as a 'Rock solid 220 on a 5 foot 9 frame' Also apparently he was a vicious fighter, knocked out some Colombo associate once with a punch.
