-CAMORRA NO MORE?-

In what appears to be a shocking development coming out of Miami, the notorious crime organisation known as Camorra, have split into 5 different organisations. With Miami being the only Camorra affiliated city, the cities of Detroit, Denver, Los Angeles and Las Vegas have now become one of their own.

Mr Savaglio, of Miami, has made a statement to which he quotes - "There is one Camorra family, and it's in Miami." Claims have been made that it was time to allow those who 'deserve' it, be rewarded with the control of one of the nine major cities of America.

Yuliana taking Detroit, Caerus taking Las Vegas, Joe taking Los Angeles and John Todaro taking Denver; each operating under their own family name.

Was this an agreed upon decision to allow those names to further their careers as so called 'mobsters', or has there been some rift within their organisation to spark such a turn of events that could shape the future of America for years to come. Only time will tell, and most of the country will be very interested to see how it plays out.

-MOUZONE GUNNED DOWN-

Wars between these mob families has been around for many years. But what can you really class as a war? Is it a dispute between two separate organisations that lead to the heinous act of war? Or is it simply a case of not knowing that your opponent is coming for you?

Mobsters in the past have shown a certain respect and demeanor towards one another. They have often been so courteous as to offer a simple duel to settle ones disagreements. But what happens when you have one entire family; that claims to be five different operations which are not affiliated with one another, attacks in such a unity that gives the opposition no hope of survival?

Clearly such a thing would have been spoken about, and had not come about as a spur of the moment thing. Planning and coordination would have been vital in the attempts to take down an entire city, and make it bend at the knee. Perhaps there is more to Mr Savaglio and his lackeys than meets the eye.

The Police Chief of Miami declined to give a statement as to whether the death of Mr Mouzone was in fact related to Mr Savaglio, but mentioned that the matter was being looked into.

Assuming that Camorra was actually involved in the taking down of the city, could mean that there isn't anyone who isn't on their good side that will be safe.

-KIDNAPPING A THING OF THE PAST-

The war between New York and Camorra proved to be a fierce one. What started off as playful banter between Petey Calhoun and John Todaro, ended up with several famous men and women losing their lives.

New York had lost against the number of Camorra, and that was the end with nothing more to it. But is that really the case? Everyone had heard of these 'Godfathers' abandoning their headquarters from their respective cities and becoming untouchable. That's one way to cheat your way through a war.

However, rumour has it that one side was in fact kidnapping innocent bystanders who had just come to this country off the boat, and keeping them held hostage for hours, days and weeks on end. Surely an injustice and a bad first impression to leave on someone who was knew to this country.

An unnamed woman from the Illinois police department had stated that kidnapping was now something that would be intolerable, regardless of status. It doesn't matter whether you are new or infamous, you can't kidnap anymore. Being caught would result in severe consequences.

That'll explain the significant increase on muggings across the country. Stay safe would be the only piece of advise that could be applied in this case.

-THE FUNNYS-

Customer: "Do you serve lobsters here?"
Waiter: "We serve anybody; sit down."

Customer: "Say, I'd like to try that dress on in the window."
Sales Clerk: "Sorry, but you'll have to use the dressing room."

We'd tell you the one about the balcony, but we are afraid it would be over your head.
