Sounds legit lol. I know this man was a cold-blooded merciless killer, but I have to admit he had a certain charisma about him or 'swag' as the kids say today. Loved seeing this footage as it is so nostalgic to me...
@The Ninth Heart I appreciate your whimsical guessing. But Nick Calabrese in the Family Secrets trial testified that John Fecarotta told him in 1981 that he, Anthony Spilotro, Frank Schweihs, Jimmy LaPietra, Joey Hansen and Joey Lombardo were the hit squad. John Fecarotta was driving the work car, Frank Schweihs was suppose to handcuff Daniel Seifert after he hit him with the butt of his gun, but messed it up and he got away and started running across the parking lot. Fecarotta said it was Joey Hansen that killed him, shooting Seifert in the head with a sawed-off shotgun while he was fleeing. It was Joey Hansen who killed him, purely because that's the direction Seifert ran in. Seifert's wife testified Joey Lombardo was the one holding her in the bathroom with her son. To add to that, Frank Cullotta also said Joey Hansen told him personally that he did the murder, after they ran into each other in California where Hansen was living. So all the people you named were involved too, but it was Joey Hansen who killed him...
@The Ninth Heart So I just made up a thoroughly detailed account of the Seifert murder from my gifted imagination? Or perhaps it's more likely you know far less about it than you thought, and are now embarrassed. Everything isn't on google, try reading a court transcript or a book. I literally quoted what Nick Calabrese told Mitch Mars during the trial. I can quote some books and page numbers too that also have what I said in them, if you want to build your knowledge up. You also ignored the Frank Cullotta part too, that you can google...
I’ve always said that Lombardo was the closest thing to a real-life Joker...even the “picture-frame” thing he does is something the Joker would do.....
What a legend! Walks into the shopping center being harassed by the camera crew, keeps his cool, walks around and makes friends, makes jokes and charmingly leaves the places with an entourage of admirers whom he just met two minutes ago.. That's class, and having stamina and balls at the same time. Even the way he carries himself projects power, authority and some secret menacing strength that's unexplainable. Only true gangster can be like that. Joe Lombardo - legend of the Chicago Outfit!
@@ChristopherTrott yeah it’s fascinating this guy is definitely a scary dude they don’t make em like they used to , also halarious the lady thought she was taking a pic with an actor and he’s like “I’m just buying a picture” 😂
Perfection! Walked in getting chased as a wanted man, walked out with a smile and an entourage he didn`t know - Turned what could of been a horrible situation into one of humor - Class
@@tronsnow4763 He got the nickname because the dude would literally cut eye holes in newspapers and walk out of a courthouse that way. Nobody called him "The Clown" openly and you were the butt of his jokes, couldn't joke back with him.
I remember early 90's maybe late 80's I had this huge Godzilla toy and it actually breathed smoke. The thing smelled like diesel fuel constantly. I have no idea what was in it, but it was pretty popular in its day. I actually found a link to it before, and so many people mentioned how they could still smell the smoke. It smelled like something that should not have been in the hands of children.
I've heard from a few people he was the one who gave the nod on the Dorfman hit. (with blessings from above I'm sure) Dorfman had supposedly told Joe once that he feared going to prison and Lombardo remembered that later when Dorfman was indicted. Probably would have been better off having kept that to himself. These Chicago Outfit guys didn't fool around.
Thats right. He was telling him " dont you say a fucking word dickhead" withouy saying a word jisrlf. HaHa and with no egfort charmed the bloomers off of all the local housewives. All clucking away like hens with the rooster!!
@@yayocowboy they all tortured guys who owed them money, but Fiore Buccieri’s old-school Cicero crew was the worst: Turk Torello, Angelo LaPietra, Joe Ferriola (the Wild Bunch technically started as Buccieri’s personal hit squad under Ferriola), Jimmy LaPietra, etc....
@@yayocowboy they were essentially just as bad as Mad Sam’s crew.

That’s why the mobs so fascinating. A known killer walks into the store dressed as the sharpest man in there, dodges the camera man without a word being said, and leaves with a fucking fan club behind him without saying a word.
He was supposedly unhappy about having to downplay his wealth and power, like all the Outfit guys were. I wonder if its times like being hounded by an asshole in a department store that he's really questioning the perks versus drawbacks of his fame?

Enters the store being followed (in a negative light) by the press, leaves the store with an entourage of ppl he literally just met following him. This video kinda sums the guy up to a T, minus the violence.....
If you ever saw pictures of Lombardo you would have thought really?This guy was a mob boss? But you can tell by the glare of his eyes he was not a man to be messed around with. It was all fun and games for the news camera man chasing him around Woolworths playing cat and mouse game. That was until he looked straight through him as that lady asked if he was anyone important and what his name was. When Lombardo said 'ask him,' he dared the camera man to open his mouth by giving him a look at the camera man that would make anyone think that Lombardo was not somebody to trifle around with. Right there, the cat reporter turned in to a mouse. Even the nice lady who asked him if he was anyone important looked a bit shook and I noticed she quickly walked away from him after he gave the reporter the 'death stare.' Even now he is dead just watching his presence is still intimidating to watch. That says a lot.
I've seen that part of this clip on another mob documentary and seeing it in the full context is amazing! I didn't get the impression the lady was shook or anything, probably wondering why those big cameras were following him around. In fact, she said she would walk out with him close to the end, you can hear her say something along the lines of, "I'll walk out with you." Seems like such a sweet woman, a grandmotherly sort. I think her not realizing who he was probably shook him more lol. Such kindness and innocent curiosity standing right next to well, everything but. Chills...
I wonder if that camera man spent the next year looking over his shoulder every time he went to his car. It also makes me wonder if some little old lady has that picture frame on a dresser somewhere not knowing such a notorious mafia member held it..
@@geoffedwards-tb4kp All kidding aside, he is very menacing and he knows that he is. Those Chicago Outfit guys, even when they're smiling, they're saying, "I hate your guts."
@@Kee2Oz Well a guy like him in those days will have killed by his own hands about 10 or so peaple. As for hating peaples guts?? If he had a reason to. I my think you will find he wouldn't feel anyway about someone, he is going to kill unless they did something personal. Apart from that he wouldn't waste the energy of hate. He'd rob or kill ya as a matter of routine. And some idiots going around trying to film him? Must be on ten grand a photo and have a very heavy team behind him this journalist, or he's not very bright.
I would have turned around and laid out that camera man lol. In those days that camera is probably as big as a Volkswagen chasing him around a store while hes shopping lol
Lombardo was a Boss. He was the Boss of the Grand Avenue faction, one of 7 factions that comprised the Outfit. Each Faction had a Boss, Underboss, Made Men & many Associates, most of whom were street level & some high level. There was a pecking order among the 7 Bosses. There was #1 & #2 . All 7 Bosses were on what was like a Board of Directors. Above the 7 Bosses were Ricca & Accardo. After Ricca died in 1972, then only Accardo.
I mean we all know why he was called “The Clown” but he has that diabolical smile when he looks at ppl. That nickname makes so much sense. All he’d have to do is make that evil mastermind hand motion with his hands together like you do with a prayer n then do the wave with just his fingers.
I miss the big city department stores of the 70s and 80s. We used to give my mom " the slip" and head off to the toy section whenever she took us clothes shopping
I like how he's completely fucking with the camera man 🤣. You would never call him "clown" 🤡 to his face. The guy was a heavy hitter for the outfit died in his 90s in prison.
That's wild. He looks like a guy you would not want to make angry. Looked real animated. Solid gangster. Wish he would have told his story or would have wrote a book. I would have read it for sure. Frank Culotta talked about him a lot. He was the last surviving Outfit guy from that photo, "The Last Supper" with Tony Accardo and all the other Outfit legends.
That cameraman, and whoever was with him had balls of steel annoying this man. Notice how the lady asks the camera man etc.. ."Who is he"? They would not answer.
Thank you for this video. I love reading about the history of The Outfit and its members. I was laughing the whole time as I watched this. All the books described him as a Clown but I wouldn't of called him that to his face.
When Joey approaches the exit and looks at the picture frames and cracks jokesyou'll see a man outside possibly a bodyguard or a driver looking and walk away. 3:11
@The Ninth Heart I don't understand why. He didn't rat anyone out. If he had to go, I'm surprised he didn't realize that himself and go on the lam or roll before they harmed him.
🤣 Love how at the end as Joe is going out the door someone, maybe the cameraman said “He’s a gangster!” and Joey responds “That’s it, I’m a gangster!”, but yet all the women are all following him out the door trying to get seen on camera with him, all the time, he’s staring into the camera at the camera guy with that grin, like you got it coming pal. Now that’s “GANGSTA” 😂 RIP - Joseph Patrick “Joey The Clown” Lombardo

Joe was anything but a clown.
King of Grand Av.
The picture-frame part is my favorite...
That glare when the lady asked who he was to the camera man...man. Joey was waiting if the cameraman would have the balls to say his name.
Cameraman felt like a cat chasing a mouse until then. "Just a man." That evil eye turned the cameraman into the mouse.
Imagine if the camera said Joey The Clown lol he’d be dead that day
Everyone's a gangster until a gangster walks into the room.

@Marius Holmberts He did the hit, there's no doubt.
@@catsomann8954 Cullotta said Aleman and/or Petrocelli.
They shouldn't have plugged him. He didn't do them wrong.
@The Ninth Heart I don't understand why. He didn't rat anyone out. If he had to go, I'm surprised he didn't realize that himself and go on the lam or roll before they harmed him.
@The Ninth Heart I just looked at noticed he died in '83. Wasn't "Doves" running the show at that time?
Bold person provoking Joe Lombardo
*The camera guy dissapeared after this.... Nobody ever found him...*
Also notice, that Joey stops by the picture frames. I bet that was intended. The camera man did want his picture. They got it.
Real-life Joker moment...
Downtown Woolworth's on Madison and State st.
Dang Joey had clout in the Chi.... its sad everything comes to an end
I think it's hilarious because Joey knows the guys behind them the whole time
Duh..
The Clown was a sly old fox, look at him pull off that masterful escape right at the end!
Lombardo sticking it to the man and showing the world he's not racist at the same time...it's called multitasking!! BWAAAAAHAHAHA!!
I'm surprised someone would be ballsy enough to follow a known mobster that high up around a store.
Was personal space not a thing back then? He jumped on the escalator right next to a woman and she never even looked his way...
Wow The Clown was a pretty short guy. That makes him even more scary.
Someone follows me around like that filming.. I would have turned around and kicked him down the escalator!!
R.I.P. Joey
HEAVY 💯
The guy filming and following him has a lot of huevos
*LEGEND*
His smile didn’t reach his eyes
Real shark eyes on him. Chilling...
Photographer guilty of harrassment.
His eyes said I dare to respond to who is he 🤣🤣🤣💪🏽💪🏽💪🏽
🤣 Love how at the end as Joe is going out the door someone, maybe the cameraman said “He’s a gangster!” and Joey responds “That’s it, I’m a gangster!”, but yet all the women are all following him out the door trying to get seen on camera with him, all the time, he’s staring into the camera at the camera guy with that grin, like you got it coming pal. Now that’s “GANGSTA” 😂 RIP - Joseph Patrick “Joey The Clown” Lombardo
Nice affable appearance and well liked around the old neighborhood, but very dangerous if you ever got in his way or interfered in his business.
