Sean Connery punched mobster Johnny Stompanato

After a few retakes, he walked into the frame, pointed a pistol at Connery, and told him to take his hands off Turner.

The recently deceased Sean Connery took on mobster Johnny Stompanato. In 1957, the young Connery was shooting the film Another Time, Another Place in London. His co-star was Lana Turner, a Hollywood sex symbol whose boyfriend after her 5th divorce was mob enforcer Stompanato. A jealous Stompanato showed up at the studios where Turner and Connery were filming. He caught a scene where the pair were embracing on a couch.

The future Bond grabbed the mobster's wrist and twisted it until the gun came loose, and then laid him out with one punch. Scotland Yard escorted Stompanato from the set, and he was deported for breaking England’s gun laws. Johnny Stomp was killed at Turner’s rented Beverly Hills home on April 4, 1958. Turner’s 13-year-old daughter stabbed Stompanato to death with a butcher knife after he attacked her mother.

Salvatierra, Mexico

Salvatierra is located in the valley of Huatzindeo in Guanajuato. Tourist websites speak of beautiful locations. Salvatierra hit the news last week when Mexican authorities uncovered 59 bodies in a mass burial site. The victims are said to be teenagers. Salvatierra municipality is one of the most violent places in the world as drug cartels fight for control of trafficking routes.

In July gunmen stormed a drug rehabilitation centre in Irapuato, Guanajuato, killing 24 people. Killers jumped out of a truck and rushed into the building, where they forced those present to drop to the floor before shooting them.

“The Gotti Chaperone Ended Up with a Broken Bone”

Star wiseguy witness John Pennisi, who testified at three major mob trials last year, has launched a blog. Sitdownnews.com gives “readers education and insight into ‘the life’ from first-hand knowledge and experience.” Peter Gotti accompanied his niece, Victoria, on a trip to see her father, Gambino godfather John Gotti, in the federal pen. After the visit, Uncle Pete ordered an unlucky associate to chaperone his niece to a movie. Victoria’s Gambino capo husband, Carmine (Bull) Agnello, “got wind of the movie night.”

Agnello summoned the chaperone to his junkyard and broke his arm with a baseball bat.

Luis Antonio Navia - El Senador

Luis Antonio Navia 'El Senador' spent 25 years in the criminal underworld where he served as a logistical drug trafficker for some of the world's most dangerous gangs. He helped to export more than 300 tonnes of cocaine, worth billions. Navia worked for Pablo Escobar. He was sentenced to 11 years in prison and served six.

El Senador is now an advisor to law enforcement. Navia recounted how he was picked up by a Mexican cartel and marked for execution because it thought he was treading on their turf.

Navia believed 'Metro', a “psychopath”, was going to kill him in a gruesome way ... in a crocodile pit. "We were on our way to the crocodiles, I was going to get thrown in – these people are rough and don’t forgive certain things.” Navia had played pool with Metro's associate and lost $250k the previous night and tried to contact the man to back his story and save his life. Eventually he got through ... “He told him, ‘No don’t do that, he owes me $250k from a pool game’ and Metro couldn’t believe that something so off the wall was actually true.”

Metro joked that Navia was “fucking crazier” than him and before being dropped off at the hotel, he said: “Today’s your fucking day, motherfucker!”

Navia reflected: “Losing $250,000 was very lucky, maybe if I had won the guy would have said ‘No, what pool game?’

B.C. appeal court sets aside part of forfeiture ruling against Hells Angels

Judge Davies sided with the Hells Angels over three of their clubhouses in Vancouver, Kelowna and Nanaimo. He decided they ought not be forfeited to the B.C. government as instruments of criminal activity. That decision was appealed in July. The attorney-general is appealing the finding that the forfeiture act is unconstitutional, while the director of civil forfeiture appealed the decision against forfeiting the clubhouses. Davis made the curious finding that no evidence proved the HAMC was a global operation. That contradicts a recent Netherland court that found evidence of thousands of HA linked crimes. It also proves the judge doesn't read this blog as HA gangsterism is half my material on any given day.

“The director has not proven that the Hells Angels is a worldwide criminal organization,” Davies said. “Although the evidence adduced does establish that many members of the Hells Angels in British Columbia and Ontario have committed serious criminal offences, there is a paucity of admissible evidence concerning such criminals offending in other jurisdictions.”

Barry Croft some piece of work - Wolverine Watchmen

Barry Croft is one of several men charged with plotting to kidnap Michigan Governer Gretchen Whitmer. The alleged scheme involved months of planning and even rehearsals to snatch Whitmer from her vacation home. Croft was active on social media and coined this gem. “True colours shining through, wanna hang this mf’er too!!!%” Another post the next day read, “I say we hang everything currently governing us, they’re all guilty!!% And what a deterrent, Rope!!!%”

Other profanity-laced posts spoke of hanging former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton “for war crimes against humanity.” A photograph of a noose carried a caption calling for hanging Obama, “both Clinton’s, Democrats, Liberals, Muslims” and others including “Ihan Omar” and “A.O.C.,” references to Democratic U.S. Representatives Ilhan Omar and Alexandra Ocasio-Cortez. Eight members or associates of a paramilitary group called the Wolverine Watchmen are charged with counts including providing material support for terrorist acts. Some are accused of taking part in the scheme against Whitmer.
