My interest in this topic was due to a book that was made on it which my mum bought me... Great Book. For those who may be interested http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Melbourne_gangland_killings It was such a big deal that they even made a TV series on it. |

True story; my father was asked to join the mob (italian) back when he was a teenager. Needless to say, we don't talk to the family members that are involved in organized crime. Especially the crooked cop (second cousin) that was on the mobs payroll. Now that I've derailed this post, allow me to re-rail.... I'll check out the link that you posted. I honestly didn't know anything of it until you had mentioned it. |
