Good old Federal Hill. I loved my italian grandparents so much, all relatives married before children, all worked, no welfare, no drugs. We were raised to have manners, show respect. Food was magnificent.
That interview was in 1999/2000. Buddy was correct. There was virtually no organized crime left in Providence by then. Very very very little to what they once was.
@@apb2887how would you know? They don’t announce when they make some dude a member. How would anyone knows besides them? They’re very secretive. When you think there’s no mafia, there is at least 100 of them out there. They just lay low for years at a time.
@@cvgodd1432 let me put it to you this way If there is or was at that time they had no power and no influence at that time. When's the last time you heard of a mob killing? The mob is dead
these people that deny the affects of the mob in Rhode Island are stone liars. There was a Mexican restaurant in Providence, it changed hands once a year when another member would "run" the business, it was frequented by a certain life-long democrat senator who met with mobsters on a regular basis. In his later years, Raymond lived in a small house, he had a jaguar living in a chain link fenced cage that took up most of his garage. I have no idea what he fed this animal. It was said that went he was sent to the "Adult Correctional Institution" that he ran the place. He bought, for his son, the old Rhode Island Reds Arena, the last place in America that Jimi Hendrix played with Sly and the Family Stone. It sat dormant for years and was resold for a fortune. The mob ran Rhode Island, probably still does. What a lousy place to grow up in. These guys didn't care for anyone but their own , if you weren't connected somehow to their group -politically or otherwise, you were an outsider and anything goes.
Fedal Hill had the best restaurants in RI. You could go there any time of day or night and if you caused no trouble, no trouble would come to you. The only problem I ever had there was a time I parked illegally and was towed by the police.
I know an awesome story about him helping out a real honest policeman, that wanted a Robbery of an old lady who ran a school for the blind in providence and had 27 braille typewriters stolen
all politicians have their finger in the pot.these people that help politicians get elected are not doing it for nothing . they all expect something in return sooner or later.

It's weird to see Judge caprio not talking about traffic violations.

Buddy claiming there is no organized crime in PVD. Priceless!
J Edgar Hoover said the same thing for 45 years... And the Mafia flourished in the US because of him...A cross dressing sicko.

Just like J. Edgar Hoover, saying there’s no mafia! 🤣🤌🏼
