There is a very interesting gangster trial going on in Boston. Some of the gangster words I hadn't known about, such as boiler (a stolen car); crash car (a car that can slow down or bump a police car); and a throw-off (planting evidence to force the investigation to go in a different direction).

Are there any others that you know of? If you have time to read the article, it is amazing how these gangstas rationalize.

quote:

“I would rather be considered as a vigilante than a serial killer,” Martorano answered, adding: “A serial murderer kills for fun. They like it. I didn’t like doing any of it. I didn’t like risking my life either. I never had any joy, never had any joy at all.”

He killed 20 people but should be let off because he didn't like doing it? Geez.

[PS I guess one could say he didn't feel any epicaricacy ]
