I go to my local chinese food place about 2-3 times a week, I'm pretty good friends with the owner. Yesterday I went in for lunch and the owner was acting really weird and standoffish while usually we're on pretty good terms. I asked him what was wrong and eventually he told me to "leave and never come back". I pushed him a little more while I was waiting for my order because he seemed nervous or guilty and he told me that the Chinese mafia in the area have been putting the squeeze or w/e on local businesses and to intimidate them they left a cake outside the shop overnight. Inside the cake was a scroll with a list of all the store's most frequent customers' full names and addresses, and I was near the top of the list.

I am seriously freaking the gently caress out right now and I have no idea what to even do or what my recourse is. I'm a non-violent person and I've never owned any guns but I'm really close to picking up a rifle at Wal-Mart and taking vacation time from work to lay low for a few weeks. Should I go to the police? What could they even do? I'm loving terrified.

Any place that can invent and circulate a drug like Krokodil is too hardcore for me.

I grew up around Chicago and my dad installed security systems for a living. Back in the 70s his boss handed him a job for this big house in River Forest. It turned out the place was owned by Tony "Big Tuna" Accardo, the boss of the whole Chicago Outfit :whitewater:

He did his work, got paid, and got the hell out. Said it was kind of freaky how nice a guy he seemed to be if you didn't know who he was.

"I couldn't stop saying aloud how miscast Jim Carrey was!"
Reminds me of how Al Capone openly said that he made a point of being kind to everyone - up until the point where an individual gave him a reason not to be. Apparently the same went for John Dillinger; the first time I heard of him was his episode of American Justice (back when A&E was still worth watching with documentary programs like that) and they tracked down people who'd interacted with him, one of whom was at the time just a small child at a lodge Dillinger was staying at between crimes. He recalled how friendly Dillinger was to him, even sitting down on the carpet and playing toys with him. It never occurred to him that the friendly man was Public Enemy #1, and years later when he found out, he couldn't help but be surprised.

Makes sense though, people are generally way less likely call the police or volunteer up information on someone who showed them/their kids kindness.

I took criminal justice classes in Worcester, MA- and if you've ever taken any CJ course they tend to all follow the same formula of "grizzled old retired cop/detective tells stories for 45 minutes". One of my favorite stories goes like this:

In the late 70s one of the local members of the Italian mob on had just knocked over a liquor store on Shrewsbury street, and was being pursued by black and whites down Lake Ave (a twisty road that runs adjacent to, you guessed it, a lake). As he was rounding the second corner by the lake the officers observed him throwing an object out of the window, they called in the location, and apprehended the mook. Upon searching the vehicle they found the money that he stole but not the weapon that he used to commit the crime- so they sent divers into the lake by the second corner to recover it.

What they didn't know before going in was that the location they were searching had been used as a dumping ground for evidence for years. While searching that part of the lake they found 46 guns and a car. As they were not able to tie a specific weapon to the perpetrator, they were not able to present it as evidence in his trial.

Back in the early 70's, my boss's first wife was killed by a junkie during a daytime home invasion robbery. My boss was an immigrant from South America, so the first thing they did was drive over to his place of work to accuse him of doing it. It messed him up for a long time, and even now he still tears up a little talking about the whole thing. When he first came to America, he worked as a busboy in a very tiny and authentic Italian restaurant. He said that it really helped him learn English. Anyhow, he went back to working there in the evenings after his wife died, just to get some extra money and be less lonely. One day, an older Italian guy comes in and he's surrounded by what's basically a three man security detail. The guy asked my boss to take a break and sit with him at the back booth. He then proceeds to offer to have the junkie(who'd been caught and was in county awaiting trial) offed in whatever way my boss wanted.

He said he didn't want to break the law, mostly because he'd just came to America and didn't want trouble. I always think back to that story, and I don't think I could've turned the mafia guy down.

Oh, and the junkie? He lived until last year and died of natural causes in a private residential care facility as a ward of the state. My boss had to go to every parole hearing to make sure he stayed locked up.

I've known a few wise guys. They were all very cool nice people. One of them was retired from the life, and worked for years in an outdoor, animal, and nature education program for kids. He was heavily involved in trade unions in the 70s, and had some crazy stories.

You'll want to start small. Get a group of friends together, and plan a jay walking party. Once you've done that successfully move on to loitering then petty vandalism. Go from there, and before you know it you'll be as feared and respected as any Mafia don.

My mom always told me that my soccer coach I had as a kid was a mafioso and I never believed her, because why the gently caress would a mafia guy be in my bumfuck rural state?

Turns out he legitimately was in organized crime, organizing massive interstate drug trafficking while being a dumpy white bread soccer dad by day. Kind of weird to think about.
