Hey slow,

How's the new drug working? still good I hope.

I am watching a new pilot series on the 101 network called "Brotherhood" which is set in Rhode Island and Providence. Is there really that much mob corruption there?

The drug is still working good, better that anything they have Rx-ed for me so far

There used to be alot of organized crime in R.I...The Patriarca family operated out of Providence, during the 50's through the early 90's..Raymond Patriarca was the boss untill his death in the early 80's..He was born to be a gangster..After his death his son "Junior" took over as boss, but Junior wasnt like his father..He wasnt gangster material, and around 1990 the FBI infiltrated a Patriarca family induction ceremony, and taped it..Shortly after that there were multiple indictments, and the core of the famiy was convicted of numerous racketeering, extortion, narcotics, gambling, and murder charges, and the family slowly faded away after that

Brotherhood was based on the Bulger brothers from Boston..Whitey Bulger was the boss of the Irish Winter Hill Gang..His brother William Bulger was the former President of the Massachusetts State Senate..That is where the story line for Brotherhood came from
