Yep. Back then, that Chicago crew was ruthless. Lots of tuff guys from that era....Giancana, Fifi, Spilotro, Caifano, Mad Sam, Alderisio, Willie Potatoes, Teets Battaglia, Chuckie Nicoletti, etc...

I think a lot of the enforcers even rose up the ranks together in the 42 Gang and/or were from the Patch.


You shit-kicking, stinky, horse-manure-smelling motherfucker you! If you ever get out of line over there again, I'll smash your fucking head so hard you won't be able to get that cowboy hat on. You hear me? Fucking hick. -Nicky (Casino)
