There are some weeks I love editing the paper. This was one of them. With the addition of a new segment (which I had much, much fun with) that went successfully, it sort of slanted the rest of the paper into a nice, pretty light.


What am I trying to say? This is a good paper. I'm glad.

Breaking News
Something That Totally Just Happened Before We Went to Print


On a night as peaceful as this, it was surprising (okay, not really surprising since we ARE a paper printed from Detroit, people! We know everything!) to see a Consigliere Captain drop dead out of nowhere.


The deal was, it seems, that SalvatoreGato, Detroit Captain and head of the Gato Regime, was removed from his position within the Motor City this evening. Godmother Marietta came to the streets and made a lengthy (as always) speech, detailing the actions and thoughts behind the decision to put an end to Gato's career.


Salvatore, a long standing citizen of Detroit and integral part of the crime syndicate cog for quite some time, will be missed and mourned by more than just his former crew.

You Don't Have to Go it Alone
Multiple Mobster Crimes New Trend


The days are long gone when you would attempt to rob a bank or con a poor schlub alone. Recently it has been reported that many mobsters are spending their time teaming up to commit bigger crimes and pull large-scale heists. Indeed, it seems as if Multiple Mobster Crimes (as they have been nicknamed) have become the newest fad to hit the Seven Cities.


From Philadelphia to Las Vegas eyewitnesses have reported seeing families, in groups of two or more, stealing art from galleries or opening loan shark businesses. Some larger gatherings have been blamed with torching businesses on rival turfs, as well as raiding huge truck depots.


And it's not just the families that are benefiting from this 'partner in crime' syndrome.


People from all over the crime underworld have been seen banding together in rag-tag groups, causing union strikes or hijacking cigarette trucks. Other reports put these 'gangs' in locations such as raiding warehouses. One DetChron reporter saw, with his very own eyes, two men from Los Angeles and one woman from Chicago knocking over a race track.


Whatever crimes people are committing, it seems that this new 'trend' is paving it's own path, and is definitely here to stay.

Advice from Amy
Questions? She Can Answer!

Advice Column by Amy Annie Moose

Q: Dear Amy,

Why are people JUST as stupid as they look? I used to have faith in man kind, but lately, and in rapid progression, I have been losing my faith in humans and my ability to keep from strangling them. This is leading to a large dry cleaning bill, blisters from the garrote and the trunk of my car smelling funny. You seem to have sage advice for people in this line of work, please, help me out?

Sincerely,

Choking to Death on Stupidity

A: Choking,

You say you have lost your faith in "humans". Does this make you some sort of intelligent machine? If so, I would like to study you and perhaps take out a patent, in order to secure a claim on something that could possibly revolutionize our world in the future.

...On second thought, never mind. Our world could never depend on intelligent machines. How silly of me.

In answer to your question, or rant rather, I can merely say that people are stupid because... well, that's just how God made them. My only advice would be to do the following:

Kill everything.

Don't die,

Amy

"This Isn't The Army"
Odd Speaks Out About Memberwhoring- Of a Different Kind


When one thinks of the term 'memberwhoring', it is often associated with high ranking mobsters bribing young, unsuspecting thugs and gangsters into their headquarters to work for them. No one ever believes that people would actually try to steal a member... that's already sponsored.


The fact is that it does happen, and it did happen on the 25th of this past week.


In what seemed to be a surprise move that shocked many, Chicago Captain TDK (Unification) was found dead at his place of residence. Strange and just plain weird Philadelphia leader Odd announced to the public not long after the man's death that it was he behind the incident. Yet what he revealed was a harrowing tale:


After a new, young member requested leave from the SPIRIT family to join another, Odd began to unravel a trail of written correspondence between his young gangster and the Left Hand of Unification, THE-SAINT. THE-SAINT urged the young man to leave the family to join the Chicago crime syndicate, and even sent the boy to his own Boss, TDK, for help in finding a way out of SPIRIT. Having seen enough to turn his stomach, Odd took the shot that felled TDK, and THE-SAINT was killed not long after.


In a generous gesture, Odd then requested and asked of the fellow seven-cities leaders to allow TDK's family time to find new place of employment, stating: "This is one of those Extenuating Circumstances where those new members shouldn't be punished for what their leaders did."


Rest in peace to TDK, who's death certainly served a purpose in educating other young leaders out there. As the adage states, what's 'yours' is 'yours', but what's 'mine'... certainly is not your place to make 'ours'.

Famous Mobster Sightings

Las Vegas citizen HandBanana, doing inappropriate and unmentionable things behind a dumpster in a very dark alley.

Sibilo, a Boss with Godfather Adrian, drinking far too much in a well known Chicago speakeasy.


Detroit soldato MonoxideChild, sitting next to the tailpipe of a car at Reckless Automobile and sniffing the fumes.

Taskmaster, man from L.A., cleaning the windows of several Los Angeles businesses... naked.

Restaurant and Business Review of the Week
Under the Scope: Detroit's Redemption Nightclub


Every week one of our reviewers will stop by a random (or suggested by readers like you!) business or restaurant in a random city and will share whether the place was dressed to impress or destined to flop. This week, while looking for a place to let loose after a long day of work, we found a neat place in Detroit called "The Redemption Nightclub".


Owned by Don Cruel, Mob Captain in Detroit, The Redemption Nightclub is his and his family's baby. And the pride does seem to show through! Every night is just as busy as the last, and a new fun adventure can be told of each time attending. No wonder it's quite the popular place among Motor City citizens...


Environment: This place spells fun with a capital "F". The nightclub is a place where you can socialize, dance, listen to music, gamble and even (if the cops don't show up that evening) get a few fair-priced drinks. The entire outside of the building is covered in neon and glittering lights, and the inside is just as hectic. Don't come here if you're looking for a quiet night out, because the Redemption Nightclub offers a wild time!


What to do there: As mentioned above, there are a wide array of activities to keep you busy on your night out. With several different rooms, it's hard to know where to start first. The general area, where drinks are served and music is played, is where most of the action goes down. Dancing, budding comedians, you name it. Several small rooms offer some more erotic entertainment, while a small casino is offered in the back.


Service: Great, great, great! Everyone from the musicians to the bartenders know what it takes to make you happy and keep your crazy 'night out buzz' going. Cruel himself is seen often in the club, greeting customers as they party and keeping the general activity of the club moving.


Clientele: Everyone from low-ranked mobsters to Bosses and Right Hands have been seen in this club. Here it's not about who you are, it's about how much fun you're having.


Our rating: Four out of five stars. We're hoping that our review will bump up business, so that in a few months we can come back and give it that last star it deserves.


Congratulations to Don Cruel and The Redemption Nightclub. If you too want to be one of the establishment owners reviewed, make sure that you have a large, lovely and booming business! Be on your toes, you never know when you'll be next!

Fill in the Blanks
Getting to Know Right and Left Hands


Every week we interview a leader, asking about all their hard work, fame and glory. Yet it is often seen that Right Hands and Left Hands are shunted to the side, when they put just as much time in as the Boss themselves. In this new section, we have asked three Right or Left Hands to fill in the blanks on a survey sheet. Their answers vary from the serious, to the hilarious to the just plain disturbing.


This week we caught up with Aurora of Detroit, Paul_Walker of Philly and ForkRourke of New York. Below were their answers (respectively). Hope you all find them as enlightening as we did!

Aurora

My full name is Aurora Elizabeth Rodriguez Hernandez Rourke.

My close associates (or friends) call me Aurora, Aurorahrah, scary.

I am the Right Hand for Marietta in The Riot!.

My official title in my HQ is Right Hand Woman, and Lady of the Castle.

One word to describe my Boss is dominator.

My weapon of choice is RourkeyRourke and BrianRourke.

One day I hope to take over the world.

This one time on a bank robbery I smashed my thumb in the safe door and punched my associate in pain.
Black is my favorite color.

I find pleasure and pain in killing people.

My relationship status is unavailable. Sorry ladies, I mean gentlemen.

My favorite Right Hand duty is looking pretty.

If I could live anywhere in the world, it would be Detroit, and maybe a summer house in Florida.

My least favorite Right Hand duty is when someone disobeys me. It's not pretty.

If Marietta weren't such a tough woman, I would totally be ruler of the world by now.

Paul_Walker

My full name is James Paul Walker.

My close associates (or friends) call me Pauly.

I am the Right Hand for Odd in Spirit.

My official title in my HQ is Capo Bastone.

One word to describe my Boss is well honestly odd.

My weapon of choice is the Garrote (I'm a hands on kinda guy).

This one time on a bank robbery I forgot to grab the money.
Red is my favorite color.

I don't agree with killing people its just a necessity.

My relationship status is single.

My favorite Right Hand duty is helping out the associates of the family.

If I could live anywhere in the world, it would be Italy.

My least favorite Right Hand duty is answering questions the newer associates have.

If JimmyTheLionHeart weren't such a badass, I would totally be Godfather of Hayley's world by now.

ForkRourke

My full name is Fork Bartholomew Rourke.

My close associates (or friends) call me waaay too much at 4am to miss wacks.

I am the Right Hand for Thomas Rourke in a state of indentured servitude.

My official title in my HQ is Tonsorial Artist.

One word to describe my Boss is Wind-Sock.

My weapon of choice is Reed and Barton 1800 Stainless Steel Series Place Fork.

One day I hope to move on up to the east side... to a deluxe apartment in the sky.

This one time on a bank robbery I was talked into starting a savings account to get the free waffle iron.
#808080 is my favorite color.

I think the sudden deceleration from a free fall of a generous distance is what is killing people.

My relationship status is best summed up as "My wife and I were happy for 25 years. Then we met."

My favorite Right Hand duty is high-fiving Marietta in the face..

If I could live anywhere in the world, it would be right next to Carmen Sandiego. This way I could always say "Hahaha, *there* you are bitch" and then giggle to myself in a menacing way.

My least favorite Right Hand duty is not to be discussed for less than $4.99 a minute.

If Marietta weren't such a west-coaster, I would totally be free of Mischa by now.

Weather
What Your Local Forecast is Saying


Did we hear the word "warm"?


Chicago:

Thunderstorms and high winds on Friday somehow pave the way for a mostly sunny rest of the weekend.


Detroit:

Friday starts out partly cloudy, but no need to fret! Saturday and Sunday bring tons of warmth and sunshine.


Las Vegas:

This weekend will be mostly cloudy, but with highs in the nineties every day it doesn't really make a difference!


Los Angeles:

Mostly sunny all weekend? Head out to the park and bask in the sunshine!


New Orleans:

For the first time, that we can recall anyway, New Orleans will have a completely sunny and warm weekend. Enjoy!


New York:

Though there may be a thunderstorm on Friday, that won't completely ruin the weekend. Saturday will bring in a small gathering of clouds that lead into next week.


Philly:

Your weekend will be warm and mostly sunny, with a small interruption Friday evening for thunderstorms.


Saint Louis:

Friday will be sunny, though this will be halted on Saturday when thunderstorms hit. Expect the sunshine to come back out to play by Sunday, though.

~~~

Topic of the Week
What's on Everyone's Mind?


Every week we will ask seven people, one from every heavily populated crime city, to fill out a questionnaire, asking for their opinions on the subject at hand. They will be asked three questions each, and we at the Chronicle expect to receive a variety of responses!


The subject of the week: Due to some skirmishes we witnessed this week, we created a scenario depicting an "illegal" shot taken. We then asked the mobsters to answer three questions to follow.


(Answers were posted in the order they were received.)


The scenario:


Yesterday, Mob Boss Stephen from Saint Louis caught a mobster shooting and killing a young gangster in his city. It was an illegal shot (as set forth by both families' rules). Stephen reported it to the mobster's Boss, Bruno from Boston. Stephen and Bruno both know that the mobster needs to be punished for this shot, as again, it was deemed illegal by all standards and rules.

Made Men in New Orleans
Wise Guy was so Yesterday

Reporter Aurora Weighs-In


"Frankly, I am tired of cleaning up messes left by those who don't really know how to use their guns. All you gangsters might think you do, but you're not going to get your practice in New Orleans. I prefer to have only experienced gunmen cleaning my city streets."


Well said Mr. Pollitt, well said. Earlier this week Godfather Brick_Pollitt of New Orleans sent a memorandum out to each and every mafioso of the seven active cities stating that no one of the ranks Wise Guy and below are to be training their guns in New Orleans. This has caused a mixed reaction throughout our world. There have been whispers around as well as people shouting in the streets that this is a wonderful thing, or this is terrible and should be abolished right this instant. Amongst the talk a few things should be pointed out; a few pros and cons if you will.


The obvious pros to this rule are; keeping uneducated 'hitmen' off the streets of N.O. and to help restore what it should mean to hold the title of Made Man. I think that Mr. Pollitt has the right idea here. Being a Made Man in your family should mean honor and prestige, not just a race to see who can get there first. If something can be added to aid in this effort, I'm all for it. I will highlight a couple others who support this as well.


Fisk_Capizzi, a Wise Guy out of Detroit was heard saying: "It is good to know that our leaders are seperating the gap between Made Man and Wise Guy, as it should be. I see the rank as my ultimate goal, and can only be honoured by it and the rewards it brings."


Manson, a Wise Guy out of Philadelphia was later heard saying the following: "Anything that helps us understand what a privilege it is to be Made and really become part of a family, is to be applauded."


The above quotes are just a few of the many who agree that this step towards restoring rank is none other than a positive one.


There have been a few who had questions for the Godfather as well. A couple points that were spoken about could be seen as cons. Again Fisk_Capizzi was heard asking "Please, do not see this as me questioning his request or judging his motives, but I am interested as to how the City of New Orleans would benefit or even notice a difference by employing this practice that has have put to us all today" JamaicanMob_Marley a Goomba out of New York stated "Don't like it, but a Goombas opinion doesn't hold weight against a Godfathers order."


No one wise guy or below is to shoot in New Orleans. There were some discrepancies on whether or not this went for his family as well. Pollitt again restated his policy to the masses:


"So - let me repeat it: If you are a Wise Guy or below, and are not in one of the New Orleans families, you are not permitted to shoot ANYTHING within the city of New orleans."


Thus highlighting that even those of authority in another city were not permitted to handle their own members breaking a rule.


Now, what happens if there is a rulebreaker who escapes to New Orleans to hide out because they think they are untouchable? What happens when the only member of said family's upper structure is a Wise Guy or below? Are they to go to the Godfather or RH of New Orleans to take care of business that isn't their own? Does it make it their business to take care of the other family's rule breaker since it the assailant has taken shelter in N.O.? It will be interesting to see if a situation like this should arise, and how it is handled.


Overall, a fine business call for the City of New Orleans. Now we just wait to see how it upholds.

One Fine Day in the Middle of the Night
Las Vegas' Loss


Many people were shocked and outspoken about the sudden and mysterious deaths of the Dominion upper structure. Not much has been said on the matter, but what we do know is that in the early morning hours of May 26th, leader Deano, Right Hand Birday, Left Hand TonyAlacchi and Telemachus were swiftly and quickly killed. Moments later, Godfather of New York, ThomasRourke, announced to the public that the remainder of the former Las Vegas family was not to be touched and had several day's protection.


What resulted was an outpouring of outrageous and downright ludicrous rumors, involving veiled plots to take over the City of Sin, double-crossings and cover-ups. Multiple mobsters across the seven cities have been credited with the kill for Deano and company, as well as several different rumors that this incident wasn't the "end" of whatever conspiracy was being spun.


Whatever it may be, we wish a nice "Sleep Sweet" to the Dominion. You had a nice run.

Me, Me, Me, Me, Me!
Wanting More Than You Deserve

Opinion Editorial by Marietta


I get it. Dreams and ambition are a great thing to have. As a Mob Boss I fully support people wanting to better themselves or their status in This Thing of Ours. Yet it seems, to me at least, that more and more lately I'm getting requests for different things. Promotions. Auth. Bodyguards. Money.


I'm the type of woman they call a "nurturer". I consider that my greatest gift as well as my biggest downfall. In this life of crime, you can't be a nurturer. As a human, though, it's pretty down right great. So once in awhile I'll play to the softer side of me and give out a loan or do what I can to help someone out. But when it happens more than five times in a day... more than twice that in a single week... from people that might not even work in my city? All of it gets to be a little old.


Before you ask any leader for a favor, ask yourself this question first:


"What have I done for that Boss?"


Make a list of everything you have done for that leader. I'll tell you what you can cross off your list right now; don't mention earning money. Don't mention donations. Don't mention doing the job you were appointed in the crew structure. Those are all things that are expected of you. Not things you do out of the kindness of your heart.


Don't mention the fact that you two are "buddies". "Buddies" aren't supposed to get a leg up in this world. Only the hard working do. Don't mention your father's or mother's actions. Don't mention your grandfather's or grandmother's actions.


Once those things are gone and crossed off that list... what's left? If you find that there is nothing on that written or mental list, then what you are about to ask for is taking advantage of the leader.


Now I want you to feel really, really guilty about it.


Feeling guilty? Good. I win. Treasure this as a lesson, especially those of you who are always asking leaders for "favors". You're supposed to work for them, but often times do you take advantage of that fact and get "favors" in return? Don't ask unless you've made and weighed your personal list, or you won't be taken seriously.

Nice Recipes for Hardcore Mobsters
Because We Can Enjoy Good Food Too


We all want to be able to make an authentic Italian dish, just like the one at our favorite restaurant. Why not step up and try making this Baked Ziti?


Start with the marinara sauce.

What you'll need:

* 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil

* 1/4 medium onion, diced (about 3 tablespoons)

* 3 cloves garlic, chopped

* 3 1/2 cups whole, peeled, canned tomatoes in puree, (one 28-ounce can), roughly chopped

* Sprig of fresh thyme

* Sprig of fresh basil

* 2 teaspoons kosher salt

* Freshly ground black pepper


Directions:

Heat the oil in a medium saucepan over medium-high heat. Saute the onion and garlic, stirring, until lightly browned, about 3 minutes. Add the tomatoes and the herb sprigs and bring to a boil. Lower the heat and simmer, covered, for 10 minutes.

Remove and discard the herb sprigs. Stir in the salt and season with pepper to taste. Use now, or store covered in the refrigerator for up to 3 days, or freeze for up to 2 months.


Now finish up with the actual Baked Ziti recipe!

What you'll need:

* 1 pound dried ziti pasta

* Kosher salt

* 3 1/2 cups marinara sauce, (recipe above)

* 1/2 cup freshly grated Parmesan, divided

* 1/4 cup grated pecorino romano

* 1 pound fresh mozzarella, half cut into 1/2-inch cubes and half thinly sliced

* Freshly ground black pepper

* Pinch of crushed red pepper or to taste


Directions:

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Bring a large pot of water to a boil, salt generously, and boil the pasta until al dente, tender but still slightly firm. Drain.

In a large bowl, toss the cooked pasta with the marinara sauce, 1/4 cup of the Parmesan, the pecorino, and the cubed mozzarella pieces. Season with the black pepper and red pepper to taste, and mix until well combined. Transfer the pasta to an oiled 9- x 13-inch baking dish. Cover the top of the pasta with the sliced mozzarella, and sprinkle with the remaining Parmesan. Bake until lightly browned and hot, about 30 minutes. Serve immediately.
