From reading all the articles about this guy, and hearing your opinion (which I respect) on this guy it seems like he was pretty despicable. What was this guy about? Was he just a stone cold sicko? From what I can gather, it seems like him and those other guys were huge into Heroin and probably ran amok in the streets killing competitors and potential or probable witnesses, robbing people, etc... Can you shed anymore light on this gent? I find him kinda interesting No need to, Mikey. You're very astute in these matters. We may be from different locations, but the mindset is always the same with mopes like this. You hit the nail right on the head in your assessment. The only thing I'll add, and I've posted this in the past, is that the Meldishes never "ran" the Purple Gang. And for all of their balls--and I'm not denying that they were both intimidating and ballsy because they were scary as fuck--and I don't say things like that lightly. They were shit scared of Danny Leo and the Priscos (Angelo and his cousin Patty, who died very young). The closest they ever came to "running" anything was when guys like Angelo, Danny and Barney started getting made and moved on up. But by that time, Easy Harlem was 90 percent Puerto Rican and the Purple Gang was a memory. They got left behind. And even if they had been Italian, they were both too fucking crazy to get made. Never in a million years. Thank you for taking the time to reply to my post buddy

Pizza,
Are you sure Meldish isnt italian? (I knownit doesnt sound like it) but what about John Scalish boss of cleveland? As sure as I know the sun came up this morning. They're half Eastern European, Croatian I think, half something else. But zero Italian whatsoever. And 100 percent crazy.

Can anyone explain the scalish surname?
Cheech your counter trolling sucks. Sorry. My best guess is that "Scalish" is derived from Scalice, which is a surname found in Sicily. Thanks. Yeah, that makes sense.
