The heck with a short film, you should do a full length feature film, a movie!! You should also write a book. You should do both Jimmy. A book and a screenplay. Keep Christ in your heart.
@@dannysullivan8929 Right..lol...it basically covered Chris paciello when he ran nightclubs in south beach.,but did a great job telling the backstory of how it all started with calandra and the bath ave crew.Dobe into some really interesting things you don't hear Calandra bring up..😉
@@GoodOlKAgang Didn't Paciello 'date' Madonna back then? 'm using quotes because I'm not sure if what they were doing was dating or just clapping cheeks as the kids say today lol but her name was mentioned in another documentary that focused on Paciello, his nightclubs, and that whole scene back in the early 90s (crazy but good times).
Result...you maintained integrity, honesty, and so there wasn't premeditation, but it WAS a death during a team-handed armed attempted robbery, which is not favored in N.Y. So well done for getting the picture faster than most, Jimmy.
I saw an amazing documentary about the Bath Avenue crew by A&E Investigates (I think that was the name of the series, it's been a minute) and it was stated that Tommy Reynolds was heavily into cocaine during this time and when he went to help with the robbery, he was coked out of his mind. That would explain why the gun 'accidentally' went off because he didn't know what he was doing being coked out. What was even worse than this poor woman's murder was the fact that her 9 year old daughter saw it happen because she was on the stairs when her mother answered the door and there was no million dollars in the house. Really a tragic situation all around. I can tell that it still haunts Jimmy to this day and I hope he has sought forgiveness from God for his part in her death, unintentional as it was. Repentance and atonement through telling these stories to keep impressionable kids from going down that same dark road and creating tragic circumstances.
This is so raw. This is what the life is all about. Not the Hollywood portrayal. That’s all bullshit. “This thing of ours” is more like “This thing of mine”
I've always been fascinated with the structure of LaCosa Nostra but that murder of that innocent woman in her own home fucking pisses me off! No civilians is the rule.
I always enjoy the stories you tell about your old life i agree 💯 its a dead end and destructive life with no good outcome glad you made the right choice to walk away 😊
''im glad the eff i got away from the garbage, now i can control my own life, be my own boss and i like it that way'' YES Jimmy, way to go, good luck with your work mate, and keep it up, good little documentary this. Wish you the best Jimmy.
Damm aye Jimmy thanks for the story … I found it interesting entertaining and just a emotional hard hitting story and hearing it from your mouth had an impact too. I like the unique accent too. Nothing but love …. All the way from New Zealand
My problem with these wise guys is they got no imagination. Paulie is in danger. He have a lot of cash. Why not take off to California for a year or so. No. He sits in his house in his old neighborhood waiting for it.
Alot of time parole or they don't have passports or simply can't uproot they still have business out on the street you take off whose collecting for you also maybe ego Brooklyn queens is huge just cause someone wants to fight you or looking for you I live in a very very small city and if someone looking for me it be tough I never on the same route same routine or leave the same time of day do to work Brooklyn alone is like the size of Manhattan bigger area wise just saying what might be the logic
This was a great video! It’s crazy I live in a small town called Milton in PA and I’m 5 miles from Lewisburg Penitentiary and it’s also 5 miles away from FCI Allenwood right in the middle of two famous prisons
@@southie3177They borrow money from you before they kill you. They all call each other friends of ours and friend of mine and wack each other. Good for you if you wanna do time for them.
This is so reminiscent of the old Sammy the bull mini documentaries on his channel when he had that fantastic Director. Well done actually very well done here
The most incredible story I’ve ever heard. There’s a movie about 3 best friends from Brooklyn may have been based on these dudes it’s called “Brooklyn rules”
So Calandra says they didn't go there to kill anybody. Yet they brought loaded firearms. And they had those firearms out and pointed at the lady's head with their fingers on the triggers. How is that an accident. Did someone bump into him? No. Was there an earthquake? No. Calandra says it bothering him and how how sad he was about it. But this he only opened his mouth and gave up that murder when he was facing life in prison. If it bothered him so much he would have been overcome with grief and he would have went to the police. But he went about his life of crime..
Problem is snitches control narrative these days. You can do interview on your phone. Most stand up guys aint gunna do interview. Always 3 sides to story
Exactly… Everyone is on here praising this guy for changing his life, confessing for killing an innocent woman but the reality is this guy played his last card after facing twenty five plus years in prison. He played the only card he had left which was to snitch. He’s not a hero, he’s a turncoat that couldn’t do the time.
@@HamiltonRb I’m not claiming to be gangster nor an Internet gangster. I’m talking about the people that are praising him. I wouldn’t be a criminal, lowlife, murderer because it’s not the right thing to do and be I don’t wanna go to prison.
How does a gun go off by itself and just happens to hit someone right in the face? Guns just don’t go off by themselves. He was probably wired, not in his right mind and he shot her. Period.
Tommy Reynolds’s is actually getting out very soon or he might already be out. Chad Marks from Blood on the Razor wire channel got Tommy out of prison and if I remember correctly it was an immediate release. Chad was really close with Tommy in prison and said that Tommy had completely changed his life around and has felt extremely horrible about what happened to the lady. He is very remorseful and wishes that it never happened.
He obviously broke one of the 4 rules of handling a gun and that is never put your finger on the trigger till you’re ready for the gun to go off. So he was either ready for it to discharge or broke one of the most important rules of gun handling
Looks like Jimmy has found some talented people to help him break into this genre. I found his story to be interesting, particularly his stories about the people he knew in prison. The "good" message, that you will regret choosing to live as a criminal was also effectively delivered. Wonder why Gene Gotti didn't bother with having Calandra killed for putting his hands on him?
True that the lower associates of the mob do get murdered and disappeared regularly. They are very expendable. And if they have a money making operation, some made guy wants it for himself. Its such a well known mob way of operating that it was featured in the movie The Sting. They talked about how the mobster would get close to a guy with a money making operation and then kill him for it.
Jimmy where the hell you been? I was a little nervous. I thought you were sleeping with the fishes!😂😂 Thank god your ok.Keep em coming and I'm still cool with that bad ass Brooklyn accent. I'm from California. Its boring here!
Hey Jimmy you need to make a movie cuz then you say Shia LaBeouf from Transformers you know he knows directors and stuff but I don't know where his head is now but that would be awesome have a blessed day
I understand Jimmy wanting to believe that Paulie G was this great guy who would never kill his own friends but let's be real if Spero gave him the order to kill either Reynolds or Calco he would've done the exact same thing they did to him. It's not optional, you can't say no, the local mob boss gives you the order to take someone out, friend or not, you have to do it or you're dead along with the friend who was the original target. Paulie wouldn't hesitated for a second if he was given the order. He physically touched/pushed Spero, even if he was a made guy that's a death sentence let alone him being an associate. They all chose that life, whether they feel like they were groomed or whatever, they chose that life. A lot of kids from that neighborhood had the exact same circumstances they had and never went in to a life of crime. They chose to become gangsters, especially Paulie, he made a huge mistake putting his hands on Spero and it cost him his life. There was no other way that situation was going to go down. It's as if Jimmy thinks Paulie would've refused the order if the roles were reversed or warned his friend or went to war with Spero but none of those things would've happened, he would've taken his friend out and go right back to whatever he was doing in the streets like nothing happened. Paulie had already committed multiple murders, another one, friend or not, wouldn't have phased him one bit. He was a full fledged stone cold gangster
@@Cardb33 I certainly didn’t know him or what he would have done, and neither do you, so we will never know if he would have got the message to his friends to leave town or done the deed. Jimmy knows him, we don’t, but it was a horrible dilemma either way.
@@HamiltonRb You don't have to personally know him to use common sense. Paulie was a stone cold gangster, involved in a minimum of 5 murders that are known. He was dedicated to becoming a made man in the Bonanno family. Had he heard either Calco or Reynolds physically pushed Spero in a heated argument and was given the order to kill them you can't use common sense to determine what he'd have done? He gives the message to them and he gets killed for tipping them off, he stalls on it and he gets killed for it. There's absolutely no chance he makes a different decision than the one Calco and Reynolds made. He would've done what he was told and that would've been the end of it. It wouldn't matter what he personally felt, he would've took the order and done it like it was done to him. Jimmy wants to believe Paulie would've done something different, what would he have done different? The only option is to go to war with Spero and the Bonanno's and he definitely wasn't doing that so what would he have done? Any other option leads him and the "friend" to be killed. Common sense says he would've taken the friend out regardless of his feelings and just moved on from it. It wasn't up to Calco or Reynolds, Paulie was marked for death and they either do it or they get killed themselves. It's not like it was for no reason Paulie physically pushed the most powerful guy in that family (on the street), that's a death sentence for anyone let alone an associate. Use common sense man.
@@DMx-q6w Yeah I'm sure he would've went to war against the entire Bonanno Family instead of kill his "friend" that messed up. Make it make sense. I don't care if you knew him or not it makes no sense. He's a gangster, he's going to make the best decision for himself as a gangster. He goes against Spero and the Bonanno's he's dead and the friend is dead too. It's ridiculous how you and Jimmy are trying to portray Paulie as being above taking out his friend. He would've done the exact same thing that Calco and Reynolds did.
I know Jimmy was told (while in prison) that Paulie pushed Spero, but did anyone including Paulie actually ever confirm this? I just feel like he wouldn't have done that... and they all took advantage of Jimmy being locked up at the time, to tell him this (possible) lie. Like Jimmy says, they wanted his money.... and they were afraid of his brass.
I love this especially, how you emphasize the downfall & consequences your actions played a role in ! I appreciate you sharing stories with us...I know Being young & impressionable & how growing up surrounded by many fellas in suits and the beautiful shining car's they drove... My silence spoke volumes from experience!! SOO many different situations Etc ,I have awesome stories which I would love to share with you and your followers 🙏💪My version and actual events w/stories BASED ON MY LIFE GROWING UP IN BENSOHURST I can promise you it will be captivating🙏,,,..My relationship with you growing up on Bay 14 th & us in grammar school 🥂😎♥️💋💋💋💋💋💋💋💋🎬🎬🎬🎬
Well they say when you tell against a mob boss youre a Rat 🐀 so i dunno ......i dont know how that life goes cause im a southern woman never messed or dealt or knew anyone that lived that life but ive seen ish and seen tv shows and things and it seems like a shit ton of drama especially the mob wives show omfg that was horrible all they did was start drama and be full of drama ......its crazy
That show was a joke and disrespectful to real Mob Wives. None of those women were real Mob Wives. First of all real Mob Wife would never act the way those savages acted on that show. It was a complete embarrassment to the Mob. There were wiretaps of real Mobsters talking about that show and how disrespectful it was to Italian wives.
its all pretty simple...give up your life for some money and a little run...i grew up in that neighborhood but luckily got caught up in something else out of the neighborhood because no doubt i would be dead...there is only 2 guarantees...death or prison...
@@theghostfiles that’s what I’m asking during a whole 60 minute documentary not once did I hear him say Anthony Spiro ordered me to do X, yet He testified against Anthony Spiro how does a person testify against someone he never did a crime with or for ?

"deal and die!" No drugs😂 thats the biggest lie they tell everyone. That's how they made all their money.
Well they say when you tell against a mob boss youre a Rat 🐀 so i dunno ......i dont know how that life goes cause im a southern woman never messed or dealt or knew anyone that lived that life but ive seen ish and seen tv shows and things and it seems like a shit ton of drama especially the mob wives show omfg that was horrible all they did was start drama and be full of drama ......its crazy
That show was a joke and disrespectful to real Mob Wives. None of those women were real Mob Wives. First of all real Mob Wife would never act the way those savages acted on that show. It was a complete embarrassment to the Mob. There were wiretaps of real Mobsters talking about that show and how disrespectful it was to Italian wives.
Jimmy is Junior
The mafia sounds like a sect!!
its all pretty simple...give up your life for some money and a little run...i grew up in that neighborhood but luckily got caught up in something else out of the neighborhood because no doubt i would be dead...there is only 2 guarantees...death or prison...
Can somebody timestamp where he said Anthony Spero ordered me to do XYZ crime maybe I missed it ?
Which crime
@@theghostfiles that’s what I’m asking during a whole 60 minute documentary not once did I hear him say Anthony Spiro ordered me to do X, yet He testified against Anthony Spiro how does a person testify against someone he never did a crime with or for ?
I think Paulie G. Would had taking you out if he wanted to get made as bad as you say he did, you said he was a real killer, so there you go.
Tommy Reynolds’s is actually getting out very soon or he might already be out. Chad Marks from Blood on the Razor wire channel got Tommy out of prison and if I remember correctly it was an immediate release. Chad was really close with Tommy in prison and said that Tommy had completely changed his life around and has felt extremely horrible about what happened to the lady. He is very remorseful and wishes that it never happened.
Jimmy…. Why would you guys hit a house when there are people home? I know you guys were the pros but it makes no sense to me is all?
Diabolically incompetent-!!!😳
@ that’s what I thought…. I mean I’m not a robber but 1st I’d stake a place out and at least wait until everyone left. No need to carry a gun either.
That's why I always liked Jimmy you get no fake s*** with him he tells the truth not like the rest of these 🤡s on UA-cam
Do u remember tony the phony or pony

Glorifying? What about this was glorifying? Im super interested because all I laid down was facts. 🤡
