I Was Chatting To Jeff A Couple Of Days Ago,

when I mentioned we were going to have a Valentines evening meal, also the only other thing I remember about that date was the massacre! strangely enough two things about it many may not know, firstly the intended victim, George 'Bugs' Moran, was not in the garage, a lookout mistook one of the men entering the garage as Moran, once the contract had started though there was no turning back, 5 Moran gangsters, a mechanic and a guy who got a kick out of hanging around with gangsters died - not all at once, Frank Gusenberg lived for three hours after the shooting, with 14 bullets in his body, Moran had seen the police cars thinking it was a raid he and one other gang member traveling with him left the scene, another twist is that despite being wanted dead by many gang members Moran did not died of a gunman's bullet, cigarettes killed him, he died of lung cancer,

despite the knowledge that up to 14 men were involved in the killing crew, the second strange fact about the killings was that no one was ever brought to trial for the 7 victims of this massacre.
