Talk:Atlantic City Conference

Some remarks
The following remarks were found here, made readable and supplied with a heading, but not written by Tomdo08 (talk) 22:15, 28 December 2010 (UTC).

Where's the evidence that Big Bill Dwyer 'saw the writing on the wall as you put it'. Seeing as there was a transition of power from Dwyer to Irish mobsters such as Cockeye Dunn and Eddie McGrath and that the Irish mob continued to have huge prescence on the docks and in Hell's Kitchen right up to the notorious Giuliani Westies trial of the mid-80's I find this a little hard tobelieve and historically inaccurate. Dwyer was a known associate of those who followed in his footsteps and seeing as you can trace this lineage right up to Spillane and the Coonan era that followed surely it's more likely that Dwyer gradually devolved power to the next generation of Irish mobsters on the West side rather than this aupposed retreat from organised crime that if happened would surely have followed by an Italian leadership rather than close friends of Dwyer's that he was seen drinking with and associating with for years and years to come.

Irish mobsters John Burke and James Coyne killed Solomon. Whether they were independents working for the Italians is debatable but it's more likely they were members of Boston's Irish mob.

You also appear to suggest that the Italians had complete control of the New England underworld 'thereafter' the slaying of Irish mob boss Danny Walsh. This is ridiculous. The Italians controlled the Italian neighbourhoods to the North and the Irish controlled South Boston. If the Italians were so dominant then surely it would have been impossible for Whitey Bulger to stick two fingers up at Anguilo by refusing to pay back the $200,000 he owed him. This was a blatant insult yet Anguilo did nothing about it. This seems a very strange perception of 'subservience'. Many historians like the idea of a natural, quick and decisive changeover of power between the Irish and Italian mobs but this is more a convenient footnote for mob historians than anything steeped in real historical fact. Of course the LCN became the Crime organisation of prominance but not to the extent suggested here. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Haymaker31 (talk • contribs) 22:28, 21 November 2009 (UTC)
