  This guy served 12 years in prison for following a code no one else adhered to, and considers it his crowning achievement. This is the employee bosses dream about.

  This poor guy got a sunburn from the lamp. If you watch closely from the beginning until the end, he gets redder and redder.

  A mobster that is in the union and does concrete work, never saw that coming.

  His main business was fear. Forcing business owners into paying a "protection" fee. If they didn't pay, they were tortured, killed or had their businesses burned down. Innocent people just trying to feed their families.

  I knew Red as a kid and teenager. He was a quiet and unassuming kid. Super low-key, not a bully like many other kids were in Southie, and I was really surprised when I heard how he was caught up with Whitey. If you met him, you wouldn't be afraid of him, because you just wouldn't know what he was capable of as a quiet kid. BTW- We still call guys in their 50's "Kid".

  1978 my dad had a &apos;crane operator&apos; on his payroll at the docks.<br>That guy made 150k and would showup to work one day a week.<br>He was a mob plant and having him on the books was the price to do business at the docks.

  &quot;I can&apos;t let someone steal from me, because then everyone else will. I have to send a message&quot; says the guy who robbed places many times. It&apos;s like one of those guys who tailgates all the time but gets upset the moment someone tailgates him.

  I had a friend from Southie and that accent is unmistakable.

  As usual these interviews blow my mind. &quot;I didn&apos;t want to water down coke because I wanted to provide better customer experience&quot; 🤣bruh

  I lived in Boston in the late 90’s. The organized crime presence was still very apparent.
