Leonetti and crow cooperated. Clearly they didn't respect any mob rules. Why not tell testa he was going to be killed. Would be pure speculation who tipped him off
Yea but it's easier for us to say that because we weren't there. But you gotta imagine those guys lived in constant fear of their Boss Nicky Scarfo his mind had a hair trigger. And you can't say Nicky wouldn't know who told him because Nick has been living that life for decades he knew all the tricks and could read eyes and mannerisms. So that's why the Crow and Philip couldn't warn Salvie they thought they would be next.
It completely makes sense that Little Nicky and Little Vic became best friends in the yard after they were both sent away. Two truly narcissistic bosses cut from the same mold, whose all consuming greed and utterly irrational bloodthirstiness ruined their two borgatas. But neither flipped til death do us part.
Thinking of it now as I quite often do the past few years, I don’t know, call it Age, Wisdom, Living Out My Life and really just Survival! It’s 2024 but the 1980’s and now some parts of it over 40 years ago! How things were so different! I would think that time was never going to change or I was never going to get old that the world would never change!! All the names and guys I knew some really well one even Family! How back then I and others seemed so Gung Ho about that world and lifestyle, how many guys I myself gave beatings to then laughed about it like I was some Hard Ass!! All those guys many were young and never got the chance to live out their dreams and lives how now nobody really cares they are stories to be heard by millions of people who never had any idea how life was then, even the old neighborhood has died with the times, I find it somewhat amusing at times to thinking is this the way people a 100 years ago thought about the WILD WEST AND THE GUNSLINGERS who were around in the 1870’s and 80’s?? How much has changed how far things have come?? And all those Guys would never get to know or see any of it!! How about those left behind the Families, 2 cousins who hold a hatred inside still after 42 years!! That Jerk “THE CROW” still alive the Biggest JUDAS of the time!! Another kid younger than me who lost his Father and changed his last name in fear of retribution or association!! How it even sounds so stupid and senseless to want to be involved in that type of world!! “A 17 year old HI, I want to grow up and live 20 years in Jail or I want to die by getting shot stabbed or beaten to death!! WOW some freaking ambition!!” That’s what it really all is!! I still see many of their faces as clear as day even though they have been gone over 45 or more years!! I guess it’s just I got Old and feel and think and see things so differently!! But my History is one of not just listening to these videos but actually was a participant and part of so much of this!! Also there were those who got killed after guys who were involved but with minor role who you will never hear of!! All of just a Big Senseless Loss and Waste of LIFE itself!! Yea it’s still around but not powerful and big enough and probably never as it was 40-50 years ago!! I laugh at the wannabe kids today trying to act like a TV SHOW or MOVIE SCREEN Gangster that could never survive back in that time!!
Now it makes sense! Merlinos were bad and Salvie didn’t want to be associated w/ him because of greed & envy! Even his father told him to distance from them!
This was a GREAT piece of work. I absolutely loved this episode. You see sometime we pick n choose the characters we like and we lose sight that even though Salvie was a likable guy he also sent many to the grave 🪦 himself
Sort of surprised Salvi. (Sp sorry.) didn't go after go after the guy who kissed him.. if they all thought if he knew he'd gone down in a blaze,, this could be a Great mob movie but take a from a different angle. Have the movie centered around the love story between Sal. & Roe., & have that scene where they hold each other on the porch with them crying in each other's arms. & having her saying "They can't be together Anymore in this life. Even though they still obviously still loved each other so much.. U can still hear the Pain in her voice after all there YRS.. & U could have her & Phil narrating certain parts of the Movie.. they all grew up together, went to the same school & same church..& they are buried together in the same Cemetery.! So sad but I think it'd be a completely different type of Mob Movie..& very emotional
Salvie was so lonely he had nobody to protect him everybody he loves and everybody that loves him was gone instead protecting him help him niki killed him what a world 🌎 we live in
Another AWESOME great video. Thanks for all that you and your team does, putting these out . What's the name/song of your background my music 🎵🎶 if you wouldn't mind???. Salute
I dont know why i never considered Leonetti to want Salvie dead too but that may have well been the case.,I dont believe he actually wanted Salvie to die but he probably wasnt mad about it either.
1. Why didn’t Salvie just go back to Maria? He knew what would happen. 2. Why didn’t he take off? He was frisking guys in his own crew. 3. Why did he start a war against Scarfo?
Because he was a man's man. They was not going to run him scared. You got to remember he always lived a kill or be killed life. His father taught him this from day one and he was a man of action
There it is. Chuckie was borrowing money and didn’t want to pay back. When testa made the dumb move that was it. Found his way out of it. Philly is only 1 family and they’ve all known each other for years. For them to kill each other is foolish.
Continue telling your story same way you do it started off this way. It should end the same way. Don’t listen to the fool as the gentleman who sent the reply you do you obviously he doesn’t know the word.LOYALTY !!!WHICH IS EVERYTHING IN THE LIFE AND EVERYTHING IN IN FAMILY
You may have raised the bar too high. I would think this one will be hard to top. Angelo Bruno would have never been driven by jealousy like Scarfo. But if he was, and in a similar situation, he would have probably told the guy to disappear instead on killing him. The Gentle Don
It’s not really Scarfo’s fault. Chuckie knew how to play Nicky too. He got Faffy and a bunch of guys to lie on Salvie. Look at NY where DiBi was murdered just because Angelo told John he was talking treason. Here, Salvie left his daughter and had another girlfriend.
You must’ve not known, But his Uncle was already skeptic about Salvie taking over he would have thought his OWN Nephew was with him and had him killed too..
This is a sad tale of disloyalty, betrayal and death..What a life,I almost cried when she was ltelling about the time they were talking on the porch...
Kind of crazy how he told them that he didn’t wanna pull the trigger, and they didn’t kill him for that. Ida rather told my best friend what was goin on instead of looking over my shoulder for years.
I think Joe Punge made up those excuses about not bringing Salvie. He didn’t tell Salvie but he also prolonged it. It was his way of helping out. Finally, when Scarfo saw Punge at the beach he told him what’s taking long and Punge stated why. Scarfo replied if you don’t get this done quick I’ll kill you, your father, and brother. Salvie was killed 2 weeks later. Salvie would’ve never showed up to meet anyone outside of his crew. He probably thought he’d be safe with Punge but then it ended.
Absolutely devastating to be executed by the same family that your father was betrayed by. Such a treacherous life being in the Mob. And to think how Nicky used and drained him Dry after all of those HITS
I've been listening to all the episodes. And you tell a great story, love your voice.
RIP Salvie. Imagine how Joey Punge felt for the rest of his life.
Probably felt like the scum of the earth or like a dirtBag
Been a loyal fan since you started this series on philly mob. Kudos!
Love your videos. First class!
Thank you for this tribute👊👍
Sounds like Salve gave up.
What kinda father would get his son involved in this life?
Leonetti and crow cooperated. Clearly they didn't respect any mob rules. Why not tell testa he was going to be killed. Would be pure speculation who tipped him off
Yeah but after the kiss Testa knew. He could have ran, flipped, or gone looking for Scarfo
This is the life they choose.Still sad.
Fear!!
Yea but it's easier for us to say that because we weren't there. But you gotta imagine those guys lived in constant fear of their Boss Nicky Scarfo his mind had a hair trigger.

Great narrating and story on Salvy! Your voice on here and melody is so soothing!

far from "many"
@@calstatelynn1787 Crow said Salvie had no problem *illing civilians including children. One way or the other Salvie had to go.
@@italianwaterice9594if it's over 2 that's alot. You gotta remember we're talking about a human life not chicken mcnuggets

A great remake of one of your formative videos. Only true die hard fans of this channel will understand what I am talking about
Salvie was so lonely he had nobody to protect him everybody he loves and everybody that loves him was gone instead protecting him help him niki killed him what a world 🌎 we live in
Another AWESOME great video.

Cowardly friends.💩 there's no friends ever.
I always kinda felt Tony soprano was based on salvie if he woulda lived
What time is the next show?
Hi @BensonhurstOG-fr8xw...upload in progress now. Thanks for tuning in.
There it is. Chuckie was borrowing money and didn’t want to pay back. When testa made the dumb move that was it. Found his way out of it. Philly is only 1 family and they’ve all known each other for years. For them to kill each other is foolish.

Class!!!!!
Lionetti could of talk to his uncle not to kill salvie. He wanted him dead to
You must’ve not known, But his Uncle was already skeptic about Salvie taking over he would have thought his OWN Nephew was with him and had him killed too..
@@Shoota5269Exactly
What I’d like to know is, did Salvie tell Chuckie that Nicky was ok with it? Someone has to interview Nicky Milano.
This is a sad tale of disloyalty, betrayal and death..What a life,I almost cried when she was ltelling about the time they were talking on the porch...
Going to kill a guy at a viewing if anybody didn't have any respect for the rules it was Scarfo and the merlino's that's just despicable
Joe Punge was in a tough position that had to be a NIGHTMARE for that young man to help execute his BEST friend
Kind of crazy how he told them that he didn’t wanna pull the trigger, and they didn’t kill him for that. Ida rather told my best friend what was goin on instead of looking over my shoulder for years.
I think Joe Punge made up those excuses about not bringing Salvie. He didn’t tell Salvie but he also prolonged it. It was his way of helping out.

You'🎻re 100% spot on
Remember when i lived in Chester P.A I hear this name and other name. Sciglitano Brothers Joe e Antonino sciglitano and Big Sam idone FROM Chester P.A
Save the tears ,he was savage unremorseful murderer himself
That is the uncomfortable truth. Salvie was a hitman before becoming underboss.
And friendship
Salvie father asked Niki if he get kill to watch over he's son Niki promise him he would and he end up killed salvie what a life
@SonyOlivier treachery at it's finest..what a life, if that's what you want to call it..R.I.P Salvie !
i saw these guys often in AC ,, they were prerty obnoxious,, but i guess they had to be
Such a sad story
Why you didn't run salvie he knew they was going to will him run don't look back
Salvie wasn't acting funny he was a smart guy he knew ya was trying to kill him
Who’s the girl salvie grew up with and loved? I haven’t heard them say her name.
