The History Of The Kansas City Mob (2017)

[@DelStrainOriginal12Legion]

Saw most things at least once on this subject matter, rare when i click on save that it has not already been ticked on my LCN-Mafia-Cammora etc play list. You keep finding new footage i have not saw. Excellent work man, appreciated from the UK. More information the more that jigsaw puzzle of what we perceive to be the total truth comes together. Also nice to hear out with New York too or Chicago..

Finally!! Nobody talks about our family or, don't have it documented much as a Kansas City, Missouri resident for 29 years its well known here but not known throughout the world or USA or spoke about KC was integral in making Las Vegas

[@stillsmokntrees]

I'll also add this as an Irish German kid born and raised here in KC ,MO 64119 I had a friend in high-school he was Italian whose dads house was always empty so we partied there no parents ever so fast forward some years I find out his dad was in the mob he owned several safe houses all over this city I've now been to see the logistics of these houses and met the dad but during this time he was away at prison now we work for Ford Motor Company in KC, MO Union local 249 I've been here 11 years I got him a job my friend the son and now I see both sides clearly and it's so interesting how this all works out

That's right KC stand up and take pride in your own home grown criminal organization

They were a powerful and influential power during the Civella era. They got lucky that the Midwest had 2 other very visible families in the media, Chicago obviously and Detroit. Those 2 families took the headlines so KC flew under the radar. The only thing that Chicago and Detroit had on KC were seats on the commission. But that even ended for Detroit when Zerelli died. But I think in the 70s especially, Chicago, Detroit and KC were like "the 3 families". Definitely held more influence than Cleveland and Milwaukee. And by the 1970s, probably more powerful than the southern families, who's power seemed to peak during Kennedy's administration. KC during Nick Civelli's reign is always overlooked. They had political power with the unions and Vegas, tons of cash from Vegas and were the typical size of the mid western families, who never made men at the rate of the North East families

A good piece of history that not many are very familiar with.

[@John-xw5zg]

I read the book this guy wrote "Mobsters in our midst" and it is definitely worth checking out!

[@budgibson185]

Recently ordered this! Good stuff

[@donolbers]

Ouseley gives a good presentation, very informative

[@Will21st]

How do you do it Mobfax?? Your content is consistently killer!

[@gmont5082]

[@jameslucas5088]

Thank you. Salute

[@XanderShiller]

Would be nice to juxtapose the story with establishing shots of the beautiful Ozarks.

[@AB-fm2zn]

Wow! Good stuff 👍✌️

[@He_Who_Can_Not_Be_Named]

That’s an Excellent book!

Bravo 🤜🤛👍👍 very nice

[@janedunlap2714]

lived a couple of blocks from the Gargotta compound. Was friends for a time {3rd grade} with their son Jimmy. Jeff Leonard

[@derekpmoore]

Would be interesting to hear about the Mormon connection

[@douglasmacomber2277]

👏👏👏 ty!!! great to hear about KC Mob. I didn't know much and now I'm a little more educated after your presentation. John "Sony " Franeze was the underboss of the Colombo family in NYC . He lived to 102 or 103 ? He got 50. Years prison and did 40 of them because he was hard core and lived his whole life in the mafia . I believe his first murder was when he was 14yrs old . People magazine wrote a story about him. So I say this cause he lived longer than anyone in the mafia. Thought I share that. Ty

[@chuckyoneil2853]

Interesting!

[@hobbie100]

Nice 👍

[@youthmanrecords420]

Where was Gary Jenkins ?

[@lisareed5669]

Black Hand was in NYC in the 1870s, if not earlier.

[@williamrogers9004]

Here's the trade-off. Legal gambling (gov't) you get taxrd if you win, even though you're risking $$ that has already been taxed. Illegal (mafia) you WILL fall behind and get into financial trouble and possibly hurt physically. Thats the real question for the guy that asked. So both have a huge negative

This man is a gentleman, he's the one I want to arrest me if I did wrong, 😆

[@kadenmac2009]

yeah, i was a little disappointed on the show when they portrayed the "kc mob".

[@matthewrider5906]

Damn it, I'm so tired of hearing abt KC, KC, KC & The Civella Crime Family... Somebody needs to do a piece on The Giordano Crime Family outta St. Louis! St. Louis was significantly larger in the 70s & 80s, Don Anthony Giordano ran not only St. Louis, but The Commission made him the #1 man over all of Colorado Cosa Nostra, including The Capone-era Smaldone Crime Family, & Giordano's death kicked off the St. Louis Car Bomb War of 1980! He was tight w/both The Outfit & The Civella Family, but *The Giordanos were especially tight w/The Detroit Partnership!" And back then... That made them pretty damned powerful!

[@chuckHart70]

Well why don't you effing do a video on it period if it's so interesting then you'll be the guy but from what I've heard no one gave a f*** about St Louis then and they don't now but that said change it. The main reason Kansas City gets more recognition is it was Vegas before Vegas until it got ruined after WW2 meaning they didn't allow gambling in the state
