    Isadore Blumenfeld (September 8, 1900 - June 21, 1981), commonly known as Kid Cann, was an American organized crime figure based in Minneapolis, Minnesota, for over four decades and remains the most notorious mobster in the history of Minnesota. He and Meyer Lansky operated a real estate empire. He was involved in organized crime. He was associated with several high-profile crimes in the city's history, including the 1924 murder of cab driver Charles Goldberg, the attempted murder of police officer James H. Trepanier, and the December 1935 killing of newspaperman Walter Liggett. He is also thought to have participated in the fraudulent dismantling of the Twin City Rapid Transit street railway during the early 1950s.

    Birns was blown in half. The upper half of his body was literally twitching in the middle of the road.

    Thank you for the above video. I believe the real reason why white ethnic immigrant groups got involved with bootlegging during Prohibition was because a lot of them were poor and saw bootlegging as a way of bringing in wealth, or profits, into those communities. Jewish areas were no different from Irish and Italian ones. Of course, the dangers were always illegally selling alcohol and getting into armed battles with rival gangs and law enforcement. While antisemitism has been torturing Jews for centuries up to the present day, let's remember that, like other racial and ethnic groups, European Jews have had their share of bad people who American law enforcers have pursued, arrested, and killed. One group is not above the other.

    The Porrello family was big in mob history in Cleveland. They also did some work in Detroit.
