Shows how sensitive society has become over the decades. Snowflakes today would be in therapy for years if the papers plastered that pic on the front page 😂😂
In 1979 I was a 5 year old kid living in Bushwick Brooklyn yet on the dark side of Bushwick. Troutman & Knickerbocker where Carmine Galante was shot at is the light side of Bushwick. Even dough we was many blocks from where carmine galante was killed at, I can remember clearly my parents talking about it…I went there the other day where Carmine got shot at & the store still remains closed till this day
Galante was gunned down in a cafe and police photos of the murder scene showed him bleeding with a cigar still clinched in his mouth.(the photo is blurry here). He sold narcotics contrary to the 5 Families edict of No Narcotics Dealing. See Selwyn Raab, "Five Families". The families basically closed their eyes to drug trafficking despite the Sicilians and Corsicans making deals with US mafiosa due to the billions in profits it made their organizations. In the 80's Columbian cartels moved in and took over narcotics trade.
I was 12 years old when Galante was gunned down. The pictures of Galante's dead body were crisp, up close and personally plastered on the front page of the NY Post and NY Daily News for days. My stepfather worked for the TA and would bring the paper home after work. Those images haunted me all summer and I couldn't sleep for weeks, thinking of those newspapers stacked neatly underneath the planter in the dining room, waiting to get me if I dared go downstairs in the middle of the night. Edit: I just Googled the pics and they're there. But wait, I'm 59 now, I should be able to sleep, right? .....ughh😩
Well then your judgement skills are an embarrassment, bud. Joe Coffey is a melodramatic hypocrite with the IQ of a rusted f-ing tire iron. He's a cartoonish joke who's methods and character are a stain on the reputation of deserving colleagues.

I grew up just blocks and a short NYC 🗽 walk from where this hit took place in the Bushwick neighborhood of Brooklyn. I was way too young to remember or even notice this hit as I was only 6 and our parents did a great job of shielding us from this type of news as not to prematurely snuff out mine and my two younger brother’s innocence. And we thank them for this. I only found out later that my neighborhood was a Bonano family stronghold.

Carmine Galante's rise and fall is a chilling reminder of the poison that ambition can become when untethered from morality. His story reads like a modern Shakespearean tragedy - a man of ruthless cunning who clawed his way to the top, only to be betrayed by the very forces he set in motion. The image of Galante, cigar still clenched between his teeth as he lay slain, is a haunting metaphor for the fleeting nature of power built on fear and greed. What strikes me most is the devastating human cost of Galante's empire. Each kilo of heroin represented countless shattered lives, families torn apart, and communities ravaged. Yet in his pursuit of wealth and control, Galante saw only dollar signs and opportunities for dominance. His legacy points to a profound truth: true power lies not in domination, but in our capacity for compassion and our courage to choose a path of integrity, even when it's the harder road.

Whoever is responsible for the background music/noise needs a very serious sit down one that any reasonable person shouldn't expect to walk away from unscathed
Can’t believe some idiots are complaining about the guy playing galante ,doesn’t matter who plays him, don’t see no one complaining about who plays Jesus Christ.
Was he buried with the cigar still in his mouth ? Men of honour ? Rubbish; they were killers and ruined the lives of many, especially Sicilians. My mother never got over the fear and suspician she had, as a young girl, from having lived in Caltanisetta, next to Corleone.
Galante seems like a guy who could have been a legitimate business man. If he would have put his talents into a legal business he could have been great. Wasted talent on destroying people's lives with heroin.
Let me tell you how much money Galante s smuggling was . 650 kilos a year. 1 kilo gets stomped on until it’s 8 kilos 8000 grams at 100 per gram that’s 8 that’s 520 million dollars a year and he didn’t share the wealth. He could have bought his way to the top.
He was at the top he was under boss he made the mistake of letting his top men sort the details once they know that you can cut him out and make deals with the other families and everyone eats and he has to go
What a hit. I have the pic of Carmine sprawled out, it's on my living room wall. So who was it? Ceasre, Baldo and Anthony Indelicato?? It's like, who blasted Albert Anastasia? To this day, not sure we know.
The injustice of this case is overwhelming. No one should have to endure what the victim went through. My heart aches for their family, who are left to navigate a world without their loved one. I hope they find peace and justice in time.
This really really gets my goat. It was very common knowledge that poor Carmine was simply growing tomatoes. And then some peppers green onions. Very well known but they kept hounding the poor fellow.
As some would call me a dirty Chicago Italian I would like to remind you our family built this country and yeah there was some hot heads and sellers they had to to put down but it’s usually for good reason they either stole or were not loyal to the family nothing worse then being disloyal and as Sicilian I take great pride in my heritage you call them gangsters I call them fathers of America when America was in turmoil “lucky did a lot of good for this f”””ing country but won’t read about that in any f”””king history book” a Bronx tale ❤ a classic mob movie for the kids

interesting that you blur the body of Galante while the New York Daily News plastered in on the front page when it happened

Quit blurring photos. When this occurs it diminishes an otherwise excellent documentary.
UA-cam guidelines, bro. It sucks but it is what it is.
@@freetheworld2671I’ve seen that photo of Galante on other UA-cam videos clear as day.
Technically the photos are still online, I've seen it years ago, so I already know what it looked like.
Quit not knowing how UA-cam works.
You know this was originally for broadcast television, right? The censorship was made for TV, before it ever hit UA-cam.

I lived on Bushwick Avenue, but this was years after the Galante thing, my family still owns a brownstone on that block not too many still do.
Casting is not great for this one. You are telling me you could not find a closer looking actor to play Galante??

I was 20 waaay down in Baltimore and it was all over the papers here. Now I remember it being hot because I would visit my three uncles in NY.
The best Narrator ever
The actor playing carmine looks more like Gambino
He looks like a toothless bum.
“Don’t disrespect the pizza parlor.”
Sopranos
Without Tony Soprano he's a zero with shoes
He's got tremendous moxie for his size!
Just when Gallante is lighting a cigar. That's below the belt.
Colm tierney voice sounds the same as Anthony Hopkins.
If greed wasn't so bad, they coulda sold it for $10 instead of $100 and avoided the problems.
I love detective Joe Coffey. Look inside a can of nails that’s Galantes face. Priceless
Well then your judgement skills are an embarrassment, bud.

His actual nails were filthy if that was him in the picture, hiding his face.
Are you kidding me!!?
You couldn't find a better, more realistic character to play Carmine Galante! Where did you find this guy; on SKIDROW?!!!

It's on here mate,I've seen them all.
@@Skynet4444can you post the link, I have all the MGH episodes downloaded from UA-cam apart from that one
The fact that the Gambinos managed to turn the pizza industry into a racket makes me laugh for some reason
For someone that has a brain like a 14 year old he is pretty smart. But greed destroyed most people.
It’s back
The guy acting as Carmine looks 80, but let's keep it rolling 60!!!!

Is it kinda pathetic we are alll here within the first hour of its drop?
This is an old doc just renamed and repackaged
Back when Galante was shot, there was no rule that photos had to be blurred out, so we all got to see it.
Was he buried with the cigar still in his mouth ? Men of honour ? Rubbish; they were killers and ruined the lives of many, especially Sicilians. My mother never got over the fear and suspician she had, as a young girl, from having lived in Caltanisetta, next to Corleone.
sounds like he had a exciting life tho regardless
I was at knickerbocker park when he was hit. Didn’t know who it was until I saw the famous pic the next day in the daily news.
Wow. That's amazing. Shout out to you. Have a good day sir.😎💯🇮🇪👌
If I want to view censored images I'll go back to kindergarten. Adults watch these videos for God's sake!
UA-cam demonetizes them otherwise. Their rules.
The famous "French Connection" case is what exposed this connection.
The Cigar
Deep French connection of Babania 😮
Anyone know the background music?
Michael Baden looked right out of med. school. Dudes been old forever.
#2 Roy Cohn was Galante's lawyer and Donald Trump's mentor.
Blurred photos!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!WTF!!!!!!!

You're talking street level sales, so there are many people between Carmine and the street.
Selfishness and greed.

He was at the top he was under boss he made the mistake of letting his top men sort the details once they know that you can cut him out and make deals with the other families and everyone eats and he has to go
520 mill in the 70s is over a billion today
Blurred pixels=zero
His greed brings to mind most people today as long as they get more money they don't care
"He was never indicted due to a lack of witnesses." Hmmm, I wonder what happened to them, did they just happen to "disappear"?
im actually related to him through my mothers father the galantes also its galant E like t shirt
Galante the former assassin still had the cigar in his mouth after they whacked him Lol🤪
Staged photo
@bazjr86 the cops planted it.
Damn that “ black man test “ was messed up 😢
What a hit. I have the pic of Carmine sprawled out, it's on my living room wall. So who was it? Ceasre, Baldo and Anthony Indelicato??
