Tony (Big Tuna/Joe Batters) Accardo testifies to Congress

Tony Accardo (AKA "Big Tuna or "Joe Batters" as Al Capone called him) of Chicago was one of the most powerful Mafia bosses in history. Sen. William Roth seems to be having some trouble pinning him down like the law did (Accardo spent only one night in prison in his entire life.)

@starryian007 if fbi agent bill roemer, who spent his career putting mobsters away, agrees that tony accardo is in fact a man of honor and respect, then you my friend are wrong. if you hate criminals, fine, and tony was defiently a criminal. but tony accardo, meyer lansky, luciano, curly humphrys, bonnano, they were real criminals wih class. they had honor and brains. soldiers kill terrorists, mobsters kill mobsters and idiots involved. thats the way it is.

@serveandcollectable Fart alight pal...............learn how to spell will you??

[starryian007]

@killapain That was a very ignorant statement to make. He only took 'other gangsters lives' What a stupid thing to say. This bastard would have killed anyone that would have got in his way. Why dont you research the burglary that took place at his home - he had six of them murdered. All young guys. And before you start praising him for doing it (as sickly hero-worshippers often do) look at Accardo's track record - he was a bully, a murderer, racketeer, loan shark and pimp. You wanna admire him??

@starryian007

What do you know. Mind your business. im not glorifying that he killed. you talk about how many lives he took...only other gangster's lives. he never killed or had any innocent people killed, never. he was not a cerial killer. he was a gangster and a gentlemen. he wasnt a jeffrey dahmer, a ted bundy or albert desalvo ( the boston strangler)!! those guys killed innocent people and were far more Vicious and brutal than Tony. they were animals. Know many lives they took!

@killapain Tony Accardo is not a person to be feted or admired. It saddens me that anyone could speak in glowing terms about this viscious, calculating murderer. His moniker 'Batters' says it all. How many people are lying in their graves because of him? How many lives cut short? How much pain, misery and destruction did this man willingly inflict on others? And please dont give me the line about 'they only kill their own' Accardo would have murdered his own mother if it was expedient to do so.
