Should have ordered in II
John Doyle, known as both Jocko Doyle and Jackie Doyle, was a career criminal with fourteen arrests and three convictions on his record. The three convictions were for burglary and assault with intent to kill but it was for moving into the drug trade that police believe he was put on the spot. The end came eighty years ago today, at 3:00 am, when two gunmen entered the restaurant where Jocko was dining and shot him, not once, not twice, but seven times. Hopefully they left a tip for the busboy who had to clean up the mess.

Going out to eat was a high-risk activity for gangsters back then. Poor guy should have chosen a safer way to pass the time. Like cliff diving.
Yep, these guys should have brown bagged it more.
