Vintage KSDK: Mob violence in St. Louis

I remember those days.
And I have to say, these trigger warnings about the results of violence, are ridiculous. Especially given the violence of our current culture. People might be better off if they see reality.

thank you so much for sharing. Most people today dont know that st louis has a history with crime families and fascinating how it all played out. always love to see vintage clips of our local news!

Incredible

I e been researching the mafia in St. Louis for 14 years and y’all are just now talking about this rich history 🤦🏿‍♂️

White on white crime

Ya, I live in St. Louis, knew some of these people not good.

I remember that bronze Caddy sitting in a tow lot off West Pine all blown up like that.

🔥🔥🔥

There was also at least one case of a mafia criminal organization which engaged in a non-lethal car bombing incident to intimidate the next-of-kin of a witness in a court case.

Was there any nexus to St. Louis, or regional casinos, in those car bombing cases? There was a $100 million illicit drug casino money laundering organization in Batavia, OH, which also involved the falsification of W2s at local restaurants to launder illicit drug revenue. That criminal network laundered $100 million in illicit drug revenue in only one year. While in Australia, an illicit cocaine money launderer had laundered $100 million through digital poker at a casino, in only one week alone. One week. I predict that any casino which meets the definition of a primary money laundering concern, will eventually be designated as such. One Australia casino is alleged to have laundered $4 billion in criminal revenue, resulting in the possibility of $2 billion in fines & fees. Does organized crime retain institutional knowledge of car bombing modus operandi, and were there any historic St. Louis cases of car bombings in connection with casino money laundering in St. Louis, Las Vegas or regional casino money laundering hubs, in addition to the one depicted in the film "Casino"? Justice must also be done against the RICO criminals who order the car bombings.

Hopefully you guys talk about the 10s of thousands of blacks that killed each other while you clowns blamed everything on Donald Trump 🤡

Irony. She says a dark time in st loouis history. Lol. It’s far worse today. . 1000x worse. We all,know why. They can’t shoot straight. And they kill one another far worse than mobsters. It’s laughable how worse St. Louis is today than back when the leisure’s ruled

Any people have the nerve to clean fingers at black people talking about black-on-black shootings.. meanwhile these cowards was walking around blowing up cars

White people are the best at everything- bad

They you use to have there meeting n lake St. Louis next to the Mobil gas station off hwy A

What little I didn't know I was targeted by Jimmy Michaels they asked me for a glass of water I was only twelve years old I brought them to water into the bathroom they lock the door one of them I believe it was Michael carmack and they grabbed my arm and shot me up with drugs I was only twelve I kept screaming no please no then they transported me to house where did schreuder live by the caseyville police station I remember a woman came in and told me I had 5 minutes to leave I guess that was ditch weir's wife what little she didn't know is I was only twelve and they forced me to go there after shooting me up with cocaine I was always afraid of them I hated when they came into town I would even try to hide from them I did not I did not care what happened to John or Jimmy they shouldn't have forcefully shot me up with cocaine at the age of twelve when I'm screaming please no please and that is the kind of men they were cowards

Real Mafia men don't hurt little girls

St Louis is a shithole now in 2023. Anyone who thinks the mafia was worse than letishia jones or Corey the c nt bush.. is lying.

I never knew it got this chaotic in St.Louis!!! I knew StLouis had a Mafia family but I didn't know it got this crazy. Like Chicago, Philadelphia or NYC!!

Hmm that's interesting.. thank you

I actually went to school over there on the south side (Southwest high school). And my classmate was Joe Vitale who was the son of a mafia family

Giordano lived just up the street from me on Finkmen when I lived in the city. He was dead when I was young and my mom actally met him once and didn't know he was a mobster.

Wow the guy laying on the ground next to the guy shot wasnt moving at all like at all 😳

I was a kid but I remember the jimmy Michaels car bomb on 55 and butler hill road. My uncle lived near there…true story but pieces of his body were being found for months after that. Well bones I should say

This brings back some memories.

L&P Towing was Leisure did his business .We as young kids worked for a guy that would make stops in there .I only found out when it was on the news and freaked me out .

I remember that ! That was all happening right at the same time that The Saint Louis Organized Crime Families Cookbook came out ! What a crazy time that was back then ! Did you try the garlic bread ?
