Talking about the mafia!
Close to twenty years ago I delivered a load of meat to NYC.
Can’t remember the business name or the location but I remember it was a Jewish business.
The load details gave the warning “do not get out of truck for any reason after business closes.”
Being a foolish red neck on his first trip to the city I got out to stretch my legs.
I had seen some feral yoot types prowling about so I left the engine running and stayed beside the truck door.
No sooner had I closed the door than the ferals gathered like a pack of wolves.
“Whatchoo got in da truck crackah?”
“This load is for XYZ meats “ I said.
Those ferals stopped dead in their tracks, put up their hands and started backing off.
Never saw them again.
My introduction to the Jewish mob.
Jews pay the italians for that kind of protection.
They were smart and got their kids into college in the 30s and got out of racketeering.
The Israeli mob is BIG.
Jews deal quite a bit with mafia but really dont know of any organized Jewish outfits out here anymore.
Though there have been rumors that some of the Jewish anti defamation groups are actually organized crime fronts.
Like the Italian Knights of Columbus are accused of for the italian mafia.
I remember one cover on the NY Post maybe 20 years ago, where there were some Jewish guys involved in an organized crime outfit and the cover said
“La Kosher Nostra” lol!!!
