What's to complain about?

The fact that you extrapolated dinodino being in the Mafia based on growing up next door to someone you thought might have been in the Mafia.

Just remember this judgement that you hand out will be used on you so don't cry when it happens.

I grew up in a bad part of town and had hard core bikers on both sides of our house. They were actually very cool people that never bothered anyone.

When you were describing the folks you thought were in the mob, you missed some other things that stand out as well:

They drive cars!
They wear clothes!
What to do?

From what I've read, I don't think dinodino is upset, I think he's laughing.

I'll be happy when the Rossi sideshow is over.

My next door neighbor bought a new car every year. He always had spare tanks installed in the doors, under the seats, in the fenders ~ carry illicit hootch from Tennessee (on his weekend runs to see his wife's relatives) ~ and in his 70s just a short while before his death he was arrested with several million dollars of cocaine in his new car (with the spare tanks).

He used to run the numbers at a large automotive plant in the neighborhood.

No, I didn't think he was mob, I knew he was mob, but it's the stuff he did that has me matching up others with similar behavior or claims.

Rossi reported the mob did certain things to him, and I've seen things like that which are typically mob related.

So, tell me seriously, are you the reincarnation of J. Edgar Hoover?

He didn't believe in "the Mob" ~ said it didn't exist ~ just a figment of someone's imagination.

He continued to say that in the face of "the commission" ~ designed to control competition among the 5 families in NY, and others in the same competitive zone.

Rudolph Giuliano thought they were real and started busting them up.

The Detroit mob began to decentralize its operations long before the others hence the use of soldiers in outlying cities throughout the Midwest.
