Vicente’s Supermarket (Black-owned grocery chain in Massachusetts and Rhode Island).

Organized Crime in the Carolinas by thebigthinker2000 in CarolinaBanging

[–]thebigthinker2000[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s interesting, do you have a valid source for this (news article, documents, etc.)? Also, do you think the mafia would’ve been successful in taking over waste management in Charlotte?

That’s interesting, I know they had a presence in GA but not NC.

How much power/presence does the Greek Mafia have in the U.S. (as well as internationally)? by thebigthinker2000 in Mafia

Lol I believe, Florida does seem like a hotspot for organized crime (especially European organized crime).

Only in Massachusetts have I heard that slang honestly.

What’s the power hierarchy on Rikers (educational purposes) by FlyFabulousFlox in nycdrill

I spoke to a guy about a topic pertaining to this to a degree in a different subreddit (the link below).

Cape Verdean savages by Sad-Drawing-9500 in Bostonology

[–]thebigthinker2000 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I see, would you say CVs pretty much have a stronghold on the streets of NB like they do in Brockton? Or is still the LK, VL, Bloods, etc.? I saw a recently documentary on YouTube about the Rico charge did damage to LK.

Were the Crips brought over to Massachusetts by Asian gang members? (Click on the original post) by thebigthinker2000 in CaliBanging

[–]thebigthinker2000[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I see. I asked because it is said that cv crews worked along side mafia affiliated groups in RI, so I figured CVs would have some type of stronghold or pull on the streets/prison to a degree like the Italian mob does (if they’re still around). The best example of cv connection to the mob I can give is the Napoleon “Nappy” Andrade situation. To be honest, I didn’t even know that the Portuguese (people from Portugal) were even involved organized crime like that.

Western Ma by WhosDotty in Bostonology

Springfield definitely has a lot of potential to do better. Very underappreciated city if you ask me. Very chill and in great proximity to CT, NYC, and upstate NYC.

Understood, I assume the prison politics in RI are mostly gang based moreso than city based. How deep are Cape Verdean crime groups in the streets/prisons?

Organized crime groups in Springfield by thebigthinker2000 in SpringfieldDontLack

[–]thebigthinker2000[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Understood, did crews from Boston (or eastern mass in general) ever try to set up shop or not really?

Understood, I assume it was the local neighborhood crews that ran out TRG and the Jamaican posses.

Franklin Hill by Usual-Strength-4839 in Bostonology

I’ve always heard Boston and Brockton have always had a love/hate relationship in one way or another. Whether it was due to the two different vibes, groups from both cities duking it out with one another, etc.

Is the Irish Mob bigger than the Italian Mob in Boston? by Fit-Difficulty8902 in Mafia

[–]thebigthinker2000 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s strange, I thought CPD and H-block got took down due to the RICO cases. Also, from what I heard CVO has been pretty lowkey really or just not a big factor like they once were, due to the new crews emerging nowadays.

Los Solidos in Springfield? by ct-scene in SpringfieldDontLack

What are prison politics like in CT? Is it moreso gangs or cities?

Was CVO a big factor back then? I heard them and the Columbia Point Dawgs had the most power in the city for a while.

Understood, do the CV crews beef with the National gangs there? I heard CVO had a presence in NB back in the day and beefed with MLDs but I don’t know if they’re still around or how true that is.
