Funny how the Feds won't bring charges against Calabrese even though he murdered SOMEONE. Yes, my father was a criminal, but deserved to live just like anyone else. He was tried and convicted, and served time for his crimes from 91-98.

That waste of flesh Calabrese should pay his due for what he took from me and my family - yet, where is my justice? How does the system work for me, the victim?

What I get is to see inane postings and editorials on the web on how my father's murderer will never be brought to justice.

The Feds, the media, and the judicial system are a waste of time and space.

I agree with "Chiaramonti-the daughter". Tony Calabrese is a scumbag slob. I've come across him a few times.

He's a blow hard. When he doesn't have his scumbag Harley buddies around you can't get him to say much.

When they are around he goes into his "I'm a Big Shot" Mode.

I hope the karma train catches up with him.

So is Calabrese allowed to be a Hells Angel and a member of the Outfit? Is that possible?

Or is the motorcycle gang affiliated with another illegal biker gang? Would the Outfit allow this?

STEVE WARMBIR RESPONDS: He's allegedly associated with a motorcycle gang and the Outfit.

There hasn't been any evidence in his case, so far, that he's a full fledged member of either.

In general, the Outfit routinely works with other criminal organizations when it suits its needs.

Of course I agree with my sister.

This has been VERY taxing on our family. Justice would be a long anticipated relief.

Our father was nothing more than a collector whose reputation preceeded him. He would help anyone that asked for it, no questions asked.

Yes, he was not an angel by any means, but he was our father, a grandfather, mentor, friend, and meant the world to us.

Pressure must be placed on the feds to put an end to this travesty.

Although the family has their concerns on justice what about the victims of Chiaramonti who enforced street tax from honest business owners.

He threatened my former boss with violence if they built their business in his suburb. He was accused of burning the owners face on a grill of a restaurant he was shaking down.

He hit another business owner in the head with a bat and hacked of a finger or two doing dirty work for the mob.

I value life but when you engage in this type of business you are shaking hands with the devil.

How do we know he wasn't involved in killing someone and where is the justice for those he beat up and injured.

He probably got into an argument with the wrong person who decided it was time for him to go! Who speaks for his victims.

After all my former boss knew he was a crazy individual who has hurt people in the past!

I am sorry for your loss but when you mess with the bull you get the horns, as the saying goes!

RE: Bobby B. and the Karma Train

That train will catch up with him, and hopefully will run him over. Since my family cannot count on the judicial system, I can say I cling to the hope that he will meet the same fate that he has brought on others.

Or at least experience a pmita prison.

What? Ex-Cop not here bashing his kids for loving him... That's a surprise.
I hope you guys get the much needed closure, even if your dad was not a perfect person, everyone needs closure.

re: joe's comments

As I said, my father was tried, convicted and served time for his actions. Please remember that you are commenting on a sensational aspect of society - everyone has a story and most likely it is not true.

The Federal Judicial system spoke for his victims and my father paid his due. Now all we are asking is that the same be said for Calabrese.

>>"What? Ex-Cop not here bashing his kids for loving him"
Is this you Heidi? It's ironic that you would write this, being that it was your thoughtless, selfish, self-centered response to Marie D who, in all likelihood, was James DiForti's daughter, that prompted me to call attention you what a hypocritical, disturbed, ego-centric crybaby you seem to be.

The fact is I agree with the sentiments presented by the Chiarmonti children. The means that the government uses to further their agenda is reprehensible. Who is to say whose life is the more valuable one?

>>"The Federal Judicial system spoke for his victims and my father paid his due. Now all we are asking is that the same be said for Calabrese"

I just thought that needed repeating.

Well you seem to think that my grandfather did some horrible crimes and that he deserved what he got.

Well all my grandfather did was hurt himself by gambeling away everything he had. He never did a damn thing to anyone yet you seem to sit on your high horse and tell me I am wrong with no evidence.

Everyone is innocent until proven guilty, so if you can prove something then do it and stop being a "thoughtless, selfish, self-centered" a**hole.

"prompted me to call attention you what a "
who has the grammar problem now?

I guess that this means that you have no evidence for me against my grandfather. And that you probably don't know who he is or who I am. So why don't you stick to talking about things that you actually know about....

STEVE WARMBIR RESPONDS: Given the vagueness of the above message, you're right that I have little idea what you are talking about.

That was for Ex-Cop. Sorry Steve.

STEVE WARMBIR RESPONDS: Gotcha. No worries.

why dont you "post" my responce? I guess like you'r b.s. paper you are biased and only tell YOU'R story. And you are not at all into the truth!

STEVE WARMBIR RESPONDS: It's posted.

Chiaramonti-the daughter: Are you the same person I met in the late '80s through a girl named Christine, at an apartment on Diversey near Harlem ave? Just wondering, I used to live nearby. If you're inclined, you can email me at proggfroggy@yahoo.com
