Ricky explained that he was made aware of the situation through Gary Webb's "Dark Alliance" series when he was facing life in prison, and added that was shocked at the revelation. During the conversation, Ricky touched on George Bush's role in the situation and how he pardoned recently appointed NRA president Oliver North during the Iran Contra prosecution. To hear more, including how Ricky doesn't believe Webb killed himself, hit the above clip.

    Not saying the guy may not have been assassinated, but i've heard that often times when someone tries to kill themselves by shooting themselves in the head they don't do it right and wind up severely wounded but not instantly dying. I would imagine the pain is so bad you probably wish you were dead.

Nitti was running from a pair of cops and turned into a train yard to try and get away, then when he got far enough from the populated area he apparently got fed up with running and decided to shoot himself in the head...twice.

He told me his book was about the government sponsoring the shipment of trainloads of cocaine in the US. I'll never forget that feeling of confusion, looking at him with a totally straight face and telling me something so crazy when nothing, I mean nothing else about him was crazy or off. I had no idea who he was until years later when I saw the movie they made about him.

    Brave Ricky Ross, Gary Webb was the hero that woke us up. Rick Ross was only giving the people what they wanted unless he killed folks which I believe he did not.
