Your daily dose of old world gangsters who were rubbed out doing what they loved most. Plus some other fun stuff.

And another one gone and another one gone...
Twenty-five year old Joseph Amastasi was well known in Harlem’s Little Italy, as “a liberal spender whose source of income was unknown”. At 11:00pm, seventy-seven years ago tonight, two employees of a coal company heard a couple of shots and went to investigate. They found Amastasi dead with two bullets in his back. Since his source of deep pockets was a mystery its impossible to say for sure what Amastasi was involved in but apparently it involved guys who had no qualms about killing.
