@@brickcitybeatdown I feel better that people like this person and his grandfather are around. They make the world a better place. Unlike Mad Dog Coll. I mean....what kind of a parent names their child, Mad Dog. No wonder he went down the wrong road in life.
Nicolas Sadler portrayed Maddog Coll in the 1991 movie Mobsters starring Christian Slater as Lucky Luciano and Patrick Dempsey as Myer Lansky..very underrated film due to other gangster's films like goodfellas and casino getting more attention
@Chuyperro. State of Grace with Sean Penn and Gary Oldman was also released around the same time, I thought "Mobsters" was good but Nicolas Sadler who I loved In that film played a complete nutter, Plus Luciano didn't kill Coll. I have a book about Coll it's believed Dutch Shultz's man Bo Weinberger killed him, Weinberger later tried to take over from Dutch ,when Dutch found out he brought him to a boat then put Bo's feet in a bucket of cement and pushed him into the river.
I'm going to have to finally watch Mobsters. I'd always wrote that film off as a bratpack-lite vaniy project even though it had Christian Slater in it, who for me is always fun to watch, but over the years I've seen a lot of people really vouch for it as legit.
This is a great essay, thank you! I've never heard of this period called the Lawless Years, per se. There was a television named this, though, back in the day, about the 1920's gang scene.
Although most would first say that mickey belonged in a mad house most people who knew him and even the cops all said he had a good heart. He was just led astray as a naive and insane young man.
Damn, just imagine growing up in a place where the major industry is people leaving. 😂 "What do you want to be when you grow up?" "The fuck away from here."
I dont know why i love to read or watch storys from the old days gangsters all my live. Im sure im born in the wrong era 😂but sculs i read know about read some things and watch some things but cool you deep dive to this Iris og . Dont know so much about him so gonna enjoy this hour. Thanks for your work and upload ✌🏼
@7:54 - "Dutch" Schultz was not Dutch - He was an American born son of German parents. Back in the early 1900s it was very common for German groups to be called "Dutch" because that is what Deutsch sounded like to Americans of the time.
Didn't know about the Rudy Vallee kidnaping. Amazing nobody ever brought that up in any of the interviews I've seen with Vallee, and Vallee doesn't seem like he wouldn't have talked about it. Definitely makes the fictionalized version in the Cotton Club more interesting You've got an awesome channel and I thank the algorithm for finally getting around to recommending it to me.
Love all your mob videos bro I've watched them all. You are one of the best and definitely deserve way more subs. You got another subscriber bro and please keep the vids coming these are truly amazing.
Very interesting in depth never knew of Rudy vallee being kidnapped a famous New York City cop Johnny Broderick stated Vincent coll was the toughest gangster
At 45:45, Coll threw two pennies at Mullens. This wasn’t showing what Mullens was worth; it was for placing pennies on a dead person’s eyes to pay the ferryman for the trip up the River Styx.
4:00 seeing the old picture of the kids next to a dead horse in the street reminds me of going through my grandfather’s photo album of pictures taken in India when he was serving with the RAF in WW2. 3 pictures were of a man dead on the shore of a river where dogs had eaten most of his intestines and all the flesh of his feet just leaving the bones. Those where the first of several disturbing pictures but there was pictures of the Indian (well her father was English) woman he was engaged to before my grandmother, she was an English teacher in India and more attractive than my grandmother at her age
Yes, that was the end of the era of Irish dominance in organised crime, as the Italians took over, but it wasn't the end. Later on the Westies in Hell's kitchen and Whitey Bulger in Boston.
I saw Dillinger's death mask at the Gangster Museum in Hot Springs, which I'm assuming that's the community you speak of, if not in the area. It was a very interesting town fr...
Great watch. Thank you. I’ll be subscribing in hopes that all your work is as interesting and informative. I really enjoy the 1920/1930s gangster genre but it seems everyone covers the same stories. This was a good escape from the more known cast of characters.
Hi John, thanks for your comment. I definitely enjoy the lesser known characters from that era and oftentimes I find their story to be more interesting as well. Appreciate you subscribing & plenty more to come.
Of all the things i've seen on Coll, you've covered him the best. You put in perspective how fearsome he truly was. Whereas, so much other documentaries skip over him, which is a shame considering Dutch Schulz was even afraid of him; which is high praise in the mob. I'd love to see one on Bumpy Johnson.
Cool. Jimmy Walker was my 3rd cousin. Before watching video i was thinking "that was my cousins time i wondering what he thought of this Coll" because Irish had it hard then as most did. well i found out lol. Just a note as my family still in Ireland 🇮🇪 say we dont say the Irish speak Gaelic! We speak "Irish".
Not disputing the Killer of Coll. But some accounts say that Out of Town Killers would get rid of Coll. The Named Trigger Man was Frankie Yale one time Co- Worker with Al Capone, when they both lived in Brooklyn, NY. Of course Yale moved to Chicago with Capone.
I see from the Cunard Line poster that one of their ships was called the Lucania. Such was the original surname of Lucky Luciano. Did Mad Dog or Luciano ever travel on that ship l wonder!
28:44 Dangerous Dan Lamascia was not murdered by the police. He drew a gun on them and the two undercover cops knew how dangerous he was. Any cop today would do the same thing.
Oh see the photo of Dutch He did look a little bit like Dustin Hoffman Now I like Billy Bathgate even more 😃 Sorry Bruce Willis I know that movie didn't end well for you but hey
What was the incident at 21:16 representing. Cannot imagine in those days many black guys involved in gang warfare in New York. Just a thought. Great video, told so very much so very well, great old time pics as well really brought it all home, well done!
There's wasn't because there were laws prohibiting young black men from gathering and loittering similar to now just enforced alot more then. You won't find any written documents of blacks in gangs until the mid to late 20th century.
Mad 🐕, was feared for real, and he was really a young teenager in some of his killings, seeing that he died at the young age of 23. They did drive by, but most of the killings were walk by as well.
@@TheLastSupper_ytI used to own one of Leggs Diamonds house in Acra, New York. A professor at Columbia Greene Community College. Named Dr. Levine wrote a book about Leggs called Anatomy of a Gangster. There's some cool pics. I learned I lived in a gangsters house from a book!! The place was spooked. Lived there for years, opened it up as a bar. After we sold the Elks Club bought it. I think it sits abandoned now on Rt. 23 Acra, New York. There was also a picture in the book of Mad Dog standing there in Catskill county jail. I was 16 got in trouble and wound up in the same tier and cell as Mad Dog.
Out of all the famous gangsters it appears the exploits of Vincent Cole was downplayed,no movies ever made about him ever showed so many sides of him like you did.And the guy did it all before he was 23 yrs old .
Never heard of it, must give it a try, state of grace Irish mafia came out the same week as goodfellas May favourite of all time, state of grace has a stellar cast but don't like the way apart from Gary Oldman etc it shows us as like subservient to the mafia.
32:47 Why do you show a photo of Bing Crosby when you speak of Billy Warren? That's just wrong and weird. Otherwise and however, another great video, thanks 🙂
My Grandfather was one of the NYPD OFFICERS carrying Cole out of the store he was killed in. I have copies of the official photographs
That’s amazing! Please do share!
Your grandfather was a drunk who had sores all over his face

@@NelsonStJamesthat's a gr8 movie the best representation of the war btween marezano & Joe the boss
There's a movie dedicated to Coll from 1992 called Mad Dog Coll or Killer Instinct.
I liked it because it was focused on younger dudes.....Very underrated movie.... Probably the best Coll portrayal ever....
Wow !
One of the best, if not the best, gangster documentaries I’ve ever seen on UA-cam ! You made Coll, Schulz, Madden come alive !
5 stars !!!
Thank you I’m glad you enjoyed it and appreciate your comment!
Excellent documentary. I learned quite a bit from watching this. Thank you for creating it for us.
Amazing video bro genuinely appreciate the time and effort you put into researching it. Definitely worth the hour.
Thanks I really appreciate your comment!
1 hour 😲
I just lost interest.
@Radio_Station_Dee this is one of my shorter documentaries so this channel isn’t for you. Thanks for stopping by!
There are very clear photos of Coll on the slab, and it really drives home the reality of this stuff. Tragic waste of lives all around.
Good video. Solid narration. Thorough. I like the Boardwalk Empire tie ins.
A fine piece of work - over an hour too! I'll watch the Dutch Schultz one now.
Spoiler, Dutch dies in the end!
This is a great essay, thank you! I've never heard of this period called the Lawless Years, per se.

Really enjoyed your deep dive on Mad Dog ...learned much..Up Tipp..Mad Dog Sweeney 🐕 NYC
Lol "Mad Dog Sweeney" lol FOH😂😂😂
Mickey Featherstone was a terror like Coll...firing a machine gun off a rooftop in Hells Kitchen once.
He was bullied in the service by other soldiers bc he was a sissy ,they even forced circumcised him. When he was sober he was a coward
Saw him the other day he ain't changed a bit
That was actually Jimmy Coonan in retaliation for the kidnapping of his father years before
Although most would first say that mickey belonged in a mad house most people who knew him and even the cops all said he had a good heart. He was just led astray as a naive and insane young man.
Sounds like wednsday night in West London....
What high quality videos and pics. Very well done and I subscribed.

Definitely interesting how things were back then but pretty much now look at your cities in Chicago Baltimore Los Angeles
I was thinking the same, there's area's like that now. U delusional to think any different

Gives a good look at why NYC remains one of the biggest cesspools in the country today

He’s a dead ringer for Gordon McQueen .😂

If it was so hot on 107th st., why were the gunmen in the photo wearing overcoats?

Frankie Yale died in 1928, Coll was murdered in 1932. After extensive research I do believe Scarnici & Fabrizio were the killers
@@TheLastSupper_yt- thank you

talk about in depth. wow. thx
Excellent.
Interesting video.
Great documentary about a regular Donegal bloke gone crazy in NYc after rising to the upper echelons of the mob.. typical Donegal story
Sometimes Irish when they get money get stupid like this, just like a certain MMA fighter who just seems like an arrogant clown these days.

He was like brat Al Capone from a middle class family.but chose to be a gangster.
Just in early childhood,lost mother 2 brothers before 13 and lost father ..
A generally well researched piece, but the photo of Maranzano is incorrect.
Ive watched All your gangsta videos and i look forward to seeing if you pick Frankie Yale/uale!!!!

My great uncle Mackey Strokinoff pimped Coll out at Rikers when Coll was 16. They called Coll "Poodle" in the joint.
You're uncle, was he already mentally gone when he said this? Seems like Coll wouldn't be the guy to try that with.
Lol bs but nice try
Strokinoff. Hahaha. Okay

I wonder why so many Irish stayed in NYC and Boston
They re build it in fairness after the Dutch ,where they first arrived too,so maybe stayed where landed
Coll was one wild irishman..a donegal man 🇮🇪
This all sounds like it could have been in today's paper...
So, not every state or counties complied by the act they didn't have to.

Nothing has changed much...the players just wear different clothes.
