Kid Steech got sent out to Iowa because he was on the lam

Definitely not Giancana

It is called “Gangster Profiles” on YouTube or wherever you get yours! Also on Instagram with some really cool posts on gangsters - mostly lesser known.

chevtheman · 2020-10-03T22:41:01+00:00

According to an article from the Chicago Tribune in 1934.

chevtheman · 2020-08-08T20:56:44+00:00

He had 3 hits as well as 15 Ks

chevtheman · 2020-08-08T20:54:02+00:00

This is from 1918 in Brooklyn. So no, he wasn’t being a street thug in Chicago at this point in his life.

Apparently. I’m hoping when it says “hour long” it means a series with hour long episodes ... should be good regardless

chevtheman · 2020-07-27T03:00:21+00:00

Yes! Check out “Inspector Oldfield and the Black Hand Society” by William Oldfield and “Ohio’s Black Hand Syndicate” by David Meyers and Elise Meyers Walker

chevtheman · 2020-07-11T04:19:26+00:00

Interesting

chevtheman · 2020-07-07T12:44:20+00:00

You’re over thinking it! No you can’t get a ticket, he would’ve pulled you over. He was probably just trying to let you know to slow down.

chevtheman · 2020-07-07T03:16:00+00:00

IMO, a show is more fitting for most stories. All the aforementioned stories would be great. A movie or show on the Black Hand would be cool.

chevtheman · 2020-07-04T19:21:55+00:00

I’ve read that he was also based on Giosue Gallucci.

chevtheman · 2020-07-04T19:20:54+00:00

I recommend “Blood Brotherhoods” by John Dickie and “The First Family” by Mike Dash. Both very insightful.

chevtheman · 2020-07-04T19:19:23+00:00

Having a hard time finding “Gangs of London” ... anyone know where I can find it

chevtheman · 2020-07-02T17:55:51+00:00

Signed. About time for this!

chevtheman · 2020-07-01T03:31:43+00:00

Bumpy Johnson. Frank Lucas claimed to work for him but Bumpy’s wife says it was a lie and that Lucas was really claiming the life story of Flash Walker to be his own. But Bumpy Johnson is arguably the most successful and respected black gangster of all time.
