[h2]Montreal mob most powerful in world: hit man[/h2]
[quote]A veteran American Mafia soldier and former hit man says Montreal's mobsters are by far the most significant gangsters in the world -- [B]outpacing the notorious Five Families of New York that became synonymous with sophisticated crime.[/B]
[B]"There is no contest,"[/B] said [B]Salvatore "Big Sal" Miciotta[/B], who is infamous for his role in a shooting that targeted the makers of the classic pornographic film Deep Throat but [B]killed a former nun by mistake.
[/B]
"You have the most sophisticated group, the most lethal, the most powerful group in the world," Miciotta said of the Montreal-based Mafia in an interview [B]to be aired tomorrow on CBC Television.[/B]
"All the guys in Brooklyn are nickel-and-dime guys. In Montreal, [B]you have guys [bringing in] 400 kilos, 500 kilos,"[/B] Miciotta said, adding New York's mobsters have to [B]work a decade[/B] to earn what the Montreal Mafia makes in just one year.
Miciotta said he once met [B]Vito Rizzuto[/B], the reputed head of the Montreal Mafia, at a restaurant in New York.
Miciotta was born in Brooklyn in the 1940s to a family from Sicily, the birthplace of the Mafia. He had an idealized view of the old-school mobsters.
Inducted into the Colombo Family, one of the Five Families of the New York Mafia that among them once held significant sway over organized crime across the continent, Miciotta ended up doing a lot of the mob's heavy lifting.
"[B]I was involved in five murders,[/B]" he told CBC News Sunday in an on-camera interview with co-host Evan Solomon.
Miciotta was in the thick of a deadly internal war among rival Colombo Family factions but is best known by New Yorkers for a 1982 shooting that targeted a father and son team of pornographers.
Joseph Peraino Sr., and his son, Joseph Jr., had helped to finance and distribute the movie Deep Throat, which became hugely profitable when porn first went mainstream. A member of the Peraino family had mob ties and a dispute over the film's profits brought the Colombo Family into the fray, Miciotta said.
A coterie of Colombo soldiers, Miciotta among them, chased the fleeing Peraino men down a residential street in Brooklyn with shotguns blasting.
"The son, he started sprinting across the porch and I went after him and hit him with the shotgun and took his head off and killed him," Miciotta said.
The dead man's father, an immense man nicknamed "The Whale," was injured but the buckshot did not stop there.
Veronica Zuraw, who left the sisterhood and became a Brooklyn social worker, was hit and killed in her home by stray shots that passed through her door.
"It's the only one that bugs me," Miciotta said of the woman's slaying.
Miciotta, who served time in prison, received a reduced sentence for being a mob informant. He is living in hiding in the United States.
William Oldham, a retired New York City policeman and investigator with the United States Department of Justice, confirms Miciotta is who he says he is.
"Sal is a person who grew up around the Mafia and I think he believed it was an honourable society when he joined. I think he was quickly disabused of that notion," Mr. Oldham said in a telephone interview.
"He rose through the ranks of the Colombo Family," he said. "In my discussions with him, I've never had him tell me anything that I have later learned to be untrue."
Having agreed to become an informant in the 1990s, Miciotta now decries the downfall of the American Mafia.
"The Mafia in America is finished," he said.
When asked by Mr. Solomon why Montreal is such a vital link for the mob, Miciotta was quick to interject: "You are not a link, you are the mob."[/quote]
Defenitly wasn't expecting to hear that

That could not have sounded any more stereotypical.

Mafia's pretty much dead and gone in Brooklyn
Most mob thing I've seen my entire life was some Italian guy jay-walking after buying a hot dog and then getting pulled away by a friend when he wanted to fight the guy who almost crashed into him
Then they both went inside a Cadi and sped away
[editline]2nd November 2012[/editline]
Not any safer though
Now that the mafia's gone all the ghetto rats came out of their hidey holes
Looks like Punisher's doing his job right.

I always knew there was something funny about the French-Canadians, besides their original accents of course.

Stereotypical words linking with inner-city Italians spoken with a Boston accent.
Ya fuggin mook.
patrons of the maple syrup speakeasy
Living close to Montreal myself, I find this awfully worrying.
Especially since the Mafia is heavily affiliated with the government at this point.
Montreal would be a pretty funny city to get mugged by the mob in.

Adriana La Cerva: [at Christopher's intervention] But when you killed Cosette, that was the last straw.
Anthony 'Tony' Soprano Sr.: Killed the dog? What'd you do that for?
Christopher Moltisanti: It was an accident!
Paulie 'Walnuts' Gualtieri: What, was it barking?

I might be wrong, but i guess the mafia's more white collar crime by now.

Pretty much
They still have their coffee shops and whatnot but they aren't nearly as influential as they were before
Back in those days you just keep out of their business and hope you don't get hit by stray bullets
Now you just hope you don't get mugged and hope you don't get hit by stray bullets
Uhh.. please give us the money..
sorry

It's probably because Americans have learned bigger and better crime and don't need the mafia anymore.
"You are not a link, you are the mob."
so awesome

Hardly. Unless your idea of bigger crime means, "EAST SIDE CRIP KILLA BLUD SOWOO BANGIN CUZ IMA BLAST A 40 GLOCK IN DIS PLACE SON." Walk around the projects in LA and you'll change your view within ten minutes assuming you aren't mugged first for wearing a different color.
[QUOTE=zakedodead;38283750]don't need the mafia anymore.[/QUOTE]
Except the Mafia still exists although it is much smaller today.

Its pretty correct, if you say thanks whilst getting off a bus or something in the US you get weird looks but its standard practise in alot of places in Canada.

And a little bit of backstory about his family
[QUOTE]The reputed patriarch of Montreal’s powerful Mafia,[B] Nicolo (Nick) Rizzuto[/B], has been killed by an unknown attacker.Rizzuto was shot in his home on Antoine-Berthelet Avenue in Montreal’s Ahuntsic-Cartierville borough around 5:45 p.m. ET Wednesday. He was 86.
Police have surrounded the neighbourhood.
Rizzuto was on probation after pleading guilty to tax evasion.
His grandson, Nick Rizzuto Jr., was slain in broad daylight in Montreal last year. And his son Vito is serving time in a U.S. prison for three murders committed in New York City.[/QUOTE]
He will likely be released soon, all evidence points towards.

I say "Thanks/Thanks for the ride" every time I step off the bus in AZ. I figure they have a relatively shit job and hearing that makes their day a little less shit.

you gotta be full italian, you also gotta make a blood oath, you also gotta stab people with ice picks like 100 times to make a point

Not really. I've witnessed many people thank the bus driver in my city even in those extended buses from the very back.
