Unlike Fabrizio and TK he don't wanna do anothe 20 something years in prison so he also flips. So his knowledge is limited to him growing up in the early 80s, doing dirt on the late 8ps and early 90s, his prison time with Wiseguys from 93-99 and his 11 months on the street before he got pinched. Nothing more and nothing less


agreed Colonel

You say that I have 'poor writing skills, and I need to learn how to speak?' LOL..... What a bad joke you are, and a sad sack of shit to boot!

When you write something to me, your brain power (or lack thereof) is clearly evident in every word you 'attempt' to type. Not only are you an imbecile who I suspect barely graduated grade school (which I doubt you did), but your pea brain cannot even intelligently decipher what you read on a piece of paper.

WHY DON'T YOU DO YOURSELF A HUGE FAVOR AND FORGET MY NUMBER OK! .... because having a 'war of words' with you is the equivalent of a Championship Heavy-Weight Prize Fighter in his prime (ME), going against a handcuffed and crippled 3-year old nitwit (YOU)!

Lol, it's so funny (and so sad at the same time), that I'm crackin up and crying with laughter at you. I almost can't believe how rudimentary you write. And what you attempt to write.

Ya know, I don't normally relish engaging with idiots. I do attempt to avoid it at all costs.

After all it's a futile task at best. But in your case I just had to make an exception. Your attacks directed at me forced my hand. I suggest you also go back to school and take a few English writing and comprehension courses. You will definitely benefit from them.

I never personally met Jimmy Calandra, and I HATED the Bath Ave Crew growing up.
I grew up with some of the 20th Ave, BPB boys..

I have watched some of Jimmy's videos and can tell you that his stories are accurate.
Some of the stories I remember from back then.

Some of players he mentions I knew personally and again are all accurate.

The way he describes the neighborhood and growing up in it are spot on.

To me the difference between and alot of the shows is he is honest about who he was and his position and what he did.

He is not re-telling the stories and making himself look like this all big and important mafioso.

He admits that he went bad and why he did it.

He basically says I was a nobody

I can respect that.

Please understand this, you are correct and very perceptive.

So stupid I’ve done things I wish i could take back but always find I am happy I did them and learn from them.
Oh , this is how we confirm again what a fake, phoney fraud you are by using the term Mook, that was explained to you and what it meant , by me…a long time ago. You still dont know how to use it ‘ WORD BOY”.
Lmfao

Move on jackass.
Go play somewhere else.

Being who I am now, I will pass on you and your bullshit but learned a lot. About YOU.

That ENTIRE statement that you just made? Well, it completely made no sense at all. In fact, I could hardly understand what you were trying to convey to me in the first place.

I honestly don't know what the heck you said, or what the heck you were trying to say.

Either way, let's forget it ok? Because neither one of us is gaining anything with this foolish back and forth, and I'd imagine you have better things to do with your time (I know I sure as hell do).

OK.
Do that then, since you are certainly out of touch and obviously don’t understand as you mention.

You engage and argue with everyone...anyone that’ speaks out against you and your band of child trafficking supporters and don’t deny it, I have proof of you denying obvious evidence and undeniable defense of those monsters that are clearly contradictory to what your “exposes” touch on and try to paint.
You are a classic narcissist and Megalomaniac....and using words like “Mook” just clearly show you for what you are(insecure)..your obviously educated, atleast enough to not use words like “mook”(who are you Andrew Dice Clay from 1987)which shows your just playing a part for the forum....

The way he describes the neighborhood and growing up in it are spot on.

I absolutely agree with you BH. And thats what I liked, and still like, about him. He's as honest as you're gonna get with these type of podcasts.

And thats what initially drew me to him. To me it didn't matter whether he was a top guy or not. The honest recitation of the neighborhood's history is why I liked him. But its a two-edged sword I guess. Because he didn't get to spend many years and decades on the street, and never got the change to get 'elevated' in the mob, and was basically in jail for many years and then turned by his late 20s, his knowledge is very limited (naturally).

I still like him. But as I was trying to say earlier, its just that because he was a young associate with very limited stories about the deeper inner workings of the Bonanno mob and other mob guys, his stories are drying up. He is simply only got so many stories to tell (like everyone else I guess), but because of that (for me at least) his shows are getting a bit boring.




NY

I keep thinking that all of these guys are going to run out of stories eventually.
Then what is there angle going to be??

I guess we will see.

It feels like they all came out of no where.

And one by one they will just drop off.

We kinda of seen it before with Kenji Gallo, he had a blog before his book and then after he sold his book he disappeared.

He was kind of the originator of all of this if you think about it.

John Pennesi was a bit different as he was an actual made member and was very recently in the streets so his story was a bit interesting.

I watched a bunch of his podcasts and it does not seem like he really did much at all on the street.
If I have his story correct he kicked up about $5,000.00 a year???
Not exactly an earner.

Even when his partner Tom, is interviewing him and asking OK, so what were the benefits?
LOL... he keeps saying we didn't have to wait on line at restaurants or bars???
And then Tom, just goes silent for a few seconds..

You can slip the guy at the door a $20.00 bill and you do not have to wait on line...

I think Alite has a huge advantage when it comes to the shows... He will never run out of stories, he just keeps making them up...

I watched a bunch of his podcasts and it does not seem like he really did much at all on the street.
If I have his story correct he kicked up about $5,000.00 a year???
Not exactly an earner.

Even when his partner Tom, is interviewing him and asking OK, so what were the benefits?
LOL... he keeps saying we didn't have to wait on line at restaurants or bars???
And then Tom, just goes silent for a few seconds..

You can slip the guy at the door a $20.00 bill and you do not have to wait on line...

I think Alite has a huge advantage when it comes to the shows... He will never run out of stories, he just keeps making them up...


I literally agree with you on every point you made. Very perceptive of you, and it does feel like they all just morphed onto the scene, and will just as quickly disappear when their time comes.

It's a whacked out phenomena for sure!

If anyone doubts that Jimmy Calandra feels genuine remorse, he broke down talking about the Judith Shemtov murder in his Tommy Dades interview video. I haven't seen that from any of these guys yet.

I saw that also. And I'm sure he does feel remorse. You'd have to be a real cold hearted prick not to feel remorse. Calandra is not a sickie like Gaspipe was. He's just a guy who got fucked up along the way of life.

If you don't mind, I have a question for you DuesPaid,

I do not want to have a nasty back and forth with you ok? I just wanna ask a legitimate question of you because after that last exchange between us someone mentioned to me that they thought that you, "DuesPaid," was actually Jimmy Calandra himself. Or possibly a personal friend of his.

Now I don't know if there is any truth to that last statement. But I'm curious to know if you're willing to answer it.

Not that it makes any difference one way or the other, but I figured I'd ask you since you're on the board.

I am not Jimmy Calandra.
I am sure he would have handled our recent “ back and forth” as you mentioned…. A bit differently.

I do respect Jimmy, since i have recently become acquainted with him and discussed several issues that pertain to business as well as personal topics with him personally.

What you just mentioned is exactly what caused the problem between you and I, someone had posted I was not who I am and you backed that up.

Moving on, I have a question for you.

What so easily led you to think I was someone other than who I’ve been for years on this site?
I’m sure your defenses need to be up since you have a profile to defend often with many trolls and non fans attacking you but that kind of bullshit has never come from me.

To be perfectly honest with you DP, I don't know, or remember, the word exchange that we had that led you to believe that I was "backing' someone else on who they thought you were, or weren't.

Lets be honest here. We don't know one another from Adam. So why would I take a position one way or the other about who or what you are?

I think you (or I) must have misinterpreted something that was said that led you to believe that.

I have no axe to grind with you. I have no ax to grind with Jimmy. Or anybody else on this forum (unless of course they come at me, and either get nasty, or attack me in some manner that I then feel I have to defend myself against). I know that I can have a red hot Italian temper sometimes. But it never shows unless I'm provoked. Lol

So to clear the air between us. I'm 100% completely cool with you. I hope that you can view me the same way. I got no beef with you. Whatsoever.

PS: and you're correct. Sometimes I get idiots and trolls who wanna take pot shots at me for no other reason than they think they can. They hide behind their keyboard and act like tough guys. It does happen on occasion. So I am aware of that type of thing. But I got no problem with anyone unless they start shit with me.

So Buona Notte DP. Have a nice evening. I hope we cleared the misunderstanding between us.

Calandra's okay..I agree, he's one of the more humble guys doing videos...He doesn't tell outrageous lies about making millions and killing dozens of guys and knowing about the Castelanno hit beforehand like Alite does..Doesn't lie about breaking free of the Colombo's and starting his own family like Franzese does..He's making videos in a basement and Alite is obviously butt hurt that Sammy did a video with Calanadra and not him !!

I really enjoy Jimmy’s you tube video’s. He is obviously very remorseful when it comes to that woman who was killed. I remember reading the indictment. When they rang the bell and she answered the door, they actually forced their way inside and pointed a gun at her and were screamming “ where is the money “. Thats when Reynold’s gun went off. That said, all 3 had guns on them.
I thought they rang the bell, she answered and they were confused because a woman ansered and then Reynolds accidentely shot her. Thats obviously not what happened. They actually forced their way in the home. When the shot went off the husband came running and saw his wife on the floor as well as all 3 of those guys. Thats when they took off.
