Buddy Cianci's crowd are definitely a "low-rent " bunch.
For precisely this reason -if I were on the jury - I would rule out
big time corruption. That gang of tow truck owners - I just heard
one of them speaking the Federal Hill equivalent of Ebonics on a
radio talk show - are rather tough and not easily intimidated. You
don't shake this type down; you make a deal with them , a deal they
just can't refuse.
I suspect that our entrenched East Side aristocracy does
not appreciate two bit hoodlum competition in the control of City
Hall. The Old Nobles don't trust guys with seedy envelopes. They
expect higher standards from THEIR public servants.
You know there is a difference between a street whore
and a call girl, explains the heroine of the Hollywood movie " True
Romance ".
Now it seems our Frank C has an anti- Semite streak
in him. I'll defend him here. Racism is more than a limited vocabulary.
It is genuine malice directed at a particular group. For a
two bit hoodlum ANYBODY who does not play his game is lower than
a snake's ass.
I'm sure that Frank does not hate all Jews. This was just
business, " Our Thing " !
