As Ferrito were leaving the parking lot, he crossed path with an artist that was able draw a near perfect likeness. When fate is against you, the most amazing things go against you.
Beirut today is a lot nicer than it’s credited for. But I get what you mean. What about the lower east side in 70s or Bronx at that time, judging by the footage I’ve seen it looks like a war had happened, looks bombed out. Come to think of it, a lot of the U.S. today looks like a wasteland - Detroit etc and rust belt . And it is estimated that as many as 1 million people in California are homeless without access to fresh drinking water. It’s very sad. It’s like mad max or something 🤷♂️🙏🏻
@@JoeSlops Exactly that’s all there is is the mention that she joined the station after these recordings she has never been mentioned on the World Wide Web again
Why would there be? Since she was reporting in the 70s and looked at least in her late 20s early 30s she's likely long dead by now... If she where still alive based on my suspected ages she'd be in her late 70s early 80s by now.
@@umbrellacorporationwuhanfa3731 She was the lead reporter on pretty much the top three biggest stories in the history of Cleveland I can look up any reporter from the 70s and find something about them from the 80s you could be from the smallest town in the 70s and I’ll find you on the Internet in the 80s literally this woman just fell off the face of the earth yet she was the lead correspondent for the biggest story in Cleveland history
There's a movie called "Kill The Irishman", starring Ray Stevenson, Vincent D' Onofrio, and Val Kilmer, which is all about this story and Greene. OK flick.
This is the most fact packed video I've seen in over a decade!....8:30 in....just just keeps getting better by the second!..THANK YOU FLR THOS UPLOAD!!
@filippocorti6760 of course, it's like Detroit or St. Louis, the populations of these cities plummeted, starting in the 70's, so all that's left is poverty and despair. Obviously their suburbs are still nice, but these cities best days are way behind them, Pittsburgh as well.
@@randythesavage1105 I thought Pittsburgh was doing well, at least as of the turn of the new century or even circa 2010. Did it start going downhill maybe 10 years ago?
The Danny Green movie (Kill The Irishman) is one of my favorite true mob movies. Danny had the balls of the Irish. One of my favorite part in the movie is whenever Danny ask his old neighborhood friend the cop you wanna dance with me lol. Great movie though I kinda felt sad how the movie ended with Danny getting blown to bit's.
I was friends with the family of Ronnie The Crab, he got out so late in life and ended up living out his last days in Florida. True gangster right there
I grew up with all these guys. LOL. It was awesome. It was like having one of Tony Soprano's crew as a Dad. We were always at bars, the track, parties, eating, feasts, golfing and of course CHURCH! LOL. I didn't even realize what was going on. It was my normal childhood. Unfortunately lots of our friends ended up dead or in jail. Even an innocent guy we knew was killed inadvertently when he simply was moving Allie's car. I never realized how nuts it was until years later. It was my normal until my Mom finally banished us to Mentor! It was like witness protection. LOL
i grew up in the same hood as danny greene went to the same school knew his sons was friends w the guy who married his ex and hd the same judge (zingali) sentence me almost 30 years ago just saying its funny the coincidences in life w someone you never knew
They have to. At that time, those were just allegations and they could’ve been sued for defamation. There’s an old 1970’s Canadian mob documentary that I’m trying to get a hold of but one of producers said that the they tried suing them and that they can’t release it. I don’t think that it’s ever been released to the public.
@@tomz5704 I know bro, I linew at the time of writing also lol , I just didn't have the time, besides I am from Glasgow, Scotland where we murder the English language. Ha! Thanks for letting me know but I knew they would get my meaning , cheers pal.
Smart Even with the heat/weather/powergrid issues in CA you're still better off than in Filthadelphia. Visited San Diego last week and am even more depressed now. The MINUTE you get into the Philly airport the nasty, perpetually pissed off locals are waiting to fight with or insult you. Been in Philly suburbs my whole life, it's gross.
Fratiano was rubbing elbows in Vegas and Palm Springs with likes of Frank Sinatra and Dean Martin. Living the life! He was smart to leave the East coast.
Ronnie the crab and my father were good friends. I remember many mornings him coming over and bringing the paper to my father as it lay on the stoop and then leaving for coffee
Did anyone get the name of the news reporter? And the channel she worked for? Would be grateful for the info as they never bother to let people know at the time,
A few things to add in here. 1.Henry Boom Boom Grecco was found dead in a red Toyota or Datsun in Twinsburg Township 2. What they don't mention is Tony Lib was playing both sides of the war. Tony Milano was asked to step down as consigliere by Jack White. Tony Dope was I think replaced him and Leo Moceri was the underboss Under Jack Licavoli Milano behind the scenes was asking his sons Peter and Carmen To side with Nardi. 3. Greene's lawyer was sleeping with Greene's ex wife Nancy. 4. Greene owned alot of money around town. He had debts everywhere. Greene desperate for money Was starting a side racket making 16mm adult movies and selling them amongst the Longshoreman. 5. Even if the Outfit didn't blow up Greene at the Medical Building Ritson was in on a plan to kill him With Sinito Iacobacci etc 6. Licavoli feared Nardi. That's why They killed him 1st. Licavoli knew Greene was on a island once Nardi got it. 7.when Greene got blown up. Jimmy Pallendino name was found among Some notes in the Adidas bag Greene carried. Nardi and Greene Had interests or a potential partnership in a landfill in Glenwillow 8. Angelo Lonardo was the successor after Johnny Scalish died. Rockman lied about Licavoli being Scalish's choice
Why are these videos many times more interesting than anything on cable or regular TV, lol? I can sit and watch these for hours.
Cause it was an era where news was not censored and agenda driven
Because everything used to be much better, music, movies. news etc.

oooo! the mouth on this kid!
Just watched the film. Brilliant to watch actual footage. Great job.
I wish reporters did reports like this nowadays. Everything is so neutered and watered down now.
awesome video thanks dude
Amazing video man!!!!
Leave the gun.
Take the cannoli.
what came out of the killers is well presented in crime inc. (the best dokumentary about the US mafia (with main focus on the italian version)
Fratiano is legendary
Legendary Rat 👎

Martha Bateman is pretty hot.
Yeah was thinking the same..old times when women liked being women you know what I mean?!!..probably a bitch but whatever
Very hot! 70's hottie to say the least.
Back when women were real instead of ridiculously inflated.
A bygone era
Excellent post
Danny greene looked like a Irish John Holmes
Green even in death was causing the mafia trouble he’s legend continue to grow even more
My grandfather was incredibly close to Nardi and Greene. The stories I’ve been told…..what a wild time in Cleveland.
I'm johns great nephew....wish they were still around. Cleveland has gone to shit.

The movie was incredibly inaccurate.
The movie was filmed in Detroit, a real travesty.
@@michaelmcdonald444280% of movies are filmed in Vancouver
It this one obviously Detroit whaaaat!!
Green liked Italians but they made it seem like he didn't,he just didn't like a certain faction cuz he got along good wit nardi
The judge was up to his pearly whites in it!
The list of defendants so long so typical is enough to make a cat laugh .

Green was playing the same game as Scarpa and Bulger, he was a FBI informant.
They mention that O'Donnell had a connection with the Islander Bar & Grill in Middleburg Heights. Anyone have anymore detail on this?
Greene bought and paid for his fate. He pushed his luck a bit too far and it ultimately came back to haunt him - for eternity!
