Recommended Posts

 Yes, mobsters tended to have nicknames(some were funny, others a little more gruesome.. haha ) given to them. A few others  :

 Donald " The Wizard of Odds " Angelini. Chicago gambling operations mobster.

Thomas " Tommy Toupee " Bilotti

 James " Whitey " Bulger

  George "Georgie Neck " Zappola

   Israel " Ice Pick Willie " Alderman

  Al " Scarface " Capone

  Francis " Cadillac Frank " Salemme

  James " Buddy "McLean

  Benjamin " Bugsy " Siegel

   .................... now back on track to nicknames of marchers, not mobsters,  lol....:

Capone preferred Snorky (swanky)... from his pals...

Off topic but Philly had Chicken Man Testa. Springsteen’s Atlantic City refers to him at the beginning. (Blew up the chicken man late last night). I’ll say, cops heard it blocks away

Stephen "The Rifleman" Flemmi and Robert "Bobby the Cigar" DeLuca.   After a month or so of floating,  my first unit had these three, plus John and James Martarano,  Five cells next to each other on the second tier.

More BAC nicknames.  Buff, Little Buff, Earth Quake, Senator, Governor, Puke, Tremor, Quake, Moose, Bozo, Zipper Neck, Owl, Flannel Draws, Fish, Dusty, Rooster, Cutsie, Cid, Tiger, Chairs, Spyder, Hondo, The Lip, Shaky, Nellie, Ghost, and Digga.  Waiting for the carrier pigeon to deliver some more.

Well, there is one thing I should say so it never happens again... Don't press hard against bus windows, lean on them, exert pressure with any parts of your body. Seriously. They're designed to hinge out for escape purposes.

Yeah 1974 or 75 we had one didn’t hinge too well. Guys wrestling on the back bench and one got pushed into the window hard with his butt. Window splintered as it bowed out. Then we hit a bump entering NY state and the glass on the outside of the glass/plastic/glass sandwich stayed at the border.
