- An interview with Tommy "The Bomber" Ogdahl, Jimmy "The Crazy M F-er" Craig, and George McQuistin - former gang members from the 1960's Southwest Minneapolis gang.
The Baldies terrorized Minneapolis for a decade. The gang included organized crime members James "Deuce" Casper," (founder), and Perry Millik, as well as Minneapolis Deputy Mayor and Alderman, Tommy "The Bomber" Ogdahl.
It'll never cease to amaze me how far this movement went. It became soooooo much more.
I grew up in Minneapolis during that time. I knew about this very well.
I've been trying to find out more about Perry Millik. Do you know how he died?
what about the "animals"?
does anyone know if he had a brother named Ace? if so I lived in the same building as their mom and new them most of my young life.
Yes. Deuce's brother was Ace. It sounds like you knew some interesting folks.
Does anyone from the Baldies have photos? I post a lot of articles about them on Instagram. It'd be nice to post some photos with the articles.
Nice stories. How did you manage to round these guys up?
Tommy the Bomber called and invited me out to lunch after he heard about the book I had written called Minneapolis Underworld. They all still hung out together. Tommy passed away recently, I am sorry to say.
Wow. Still together 40+ years later... Any idea what happened to Jack Capra?
No.
Foh old fake gangbangers
@@elizabethjohanneck3932 He's passed on now but I would have liked to know how former Police Chief and Minneapolis Mayor Charles Stenvig employed Casper and Ogdahl. It shows you just how institutionalized crime is into our Farmer Labor political party.
