“Hollywood vs The Mob: Fact vs Fiction”

I have a confession to make. I love a good gangster movie. Like, really love. While most girls prefer a romance or comedy or even a romantic comedy–I prefer a crime flick. If the crime is organized, even better. That being said, one day while strolling through Wal-Mart I stumbled across one of the best buys in the $5 DVD bin that I could ever imagine (besides the Cashmere Mafia DVD collection series (which has absolutely nothing to do with the real mafia) that I scored for $1 at Target but we’ll talk about that later).

At the top of the discounted pile of movies and cds was “Hollywood vs The Mob: Fact vs Fiction”. I tend to collect crime movies of any kind, especially if they’re on sale.

Former Prime Minister Of Jamaica Testifies About His Dealings With Druglord Dudus Coke

Former Prime Minister Bruce Golding testified yesterday morning that he personally knew Christopher ‘Dudus’ Coke and had spoken with him on several occasions.

He says the last time he communicated with him was in December, 2007, when the Jamaica Constabulary Force told him that it was concerned about the presence of members of the St. James-based Stone Crusher Gang in Tivoli.

He said he surmised the police were apprehensive about going after the men in Tivoli, fearing the outcome of an operation. Mr. Golding said he sent a messenger to Coke, who sent back a message that there were no such persons in the community.

According to the former prime minister, the police insisted that their intelligence suggested suspects were in the area and carried out an operation in the area in January 2008 but the prime targets were not captured.

He said the circumstances affected his relationship with Coke.

BOOK REVIEW: Why We Love Serial Killers-The Curious Appeal of the World’s Most Savage Murderers by Scott Bonn, Phd

Interesting review of the book & society’s peculiar fascination with serial killers.

JANUARY GRAY REVIEWS

Confession time…admit it, you turn away in disgust when you see news of a Serial Killer on television, yet you will watch shows that cover the stories of such vile creatures. Clearly there is a large audience for these stories as the networks cover them almost weekly.

We watch interviews of neighbors and time after time hear them say how shocked they are to discover they lived next door to a serial killer, because he was “always a nice guy, always a good neighbor.”

Perhaps we don’t understand why these monsters aren’t more obvious to us. Most serial killers lead very normal lives and don’t “look” like monsters.

What is the fascination? Why are we shocked and disgusted, yet curious at the same time?

Author Scott Bonn, Phd is considered one of the world’s top experts on criminal behavior, and in his book, he explains our interest to us, and…
