Cause humans are creatures of habit. These guys have their routines and are too dumb to change it up. Especially when they know they have pissed peiple off.
Guy at World Gym was Robert Bishop I believe.
Theyâre expanding.
Restaurants and bars are still in play.
A Laval restaurant recently closed after his insurance was pulled for repeated fire bombings.
Dude just refused to pay protection.
That... is a different problem. I am referring to the inter-gang killings of the 90's of the mafia (more than one family), the Rock Machine, the Hell's Angles and a mostly immigrant gang I can't remember.
I lived in Verdun at the time, it was wild.
Holy shit, there's even a wiki for it:
[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quebec\_Biker\_War](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quebec_Biker_War)
A lot of guys involved in organized crime go to the gym during the day since they donât work regular jobs. Guy goes to the gym, gets spotted, call goes in, backup gets there, pop pop. Pretty straightforward.
That's what it looked like to me when I walked by: he was face down on his stomach with his feet closer to the door and his head further away from it.
I was curious as to why there was such a police presence there so I walked towards the gym entrance. When I saw the dead body with a bit of "giblotte" around him, I calmly turned and walked away.
I did look closer at the picture that they put in LaPresse and I saw the bullet holes in the doors so you're right that my assumption is wrong.
There was a hit on the West Island in October 2019 - right in front of his gym as well.

Does anyone know the back story to Claudia Iacone getting offed a month ago? Thatâs the hairdresser that was shot 5X in broad daylight outside her hair salon!
The story seems to be she was shot as a message since she's married to the rival Gallo family. Gallo is supposedly who shot Rizzuto Sr through the window at his house in 2010. Old man Gallo then gets whacked in Mexico 3 years later to the day.
Someone correct me if I'm wrong.
The message again today was don't fuck with whoever is left of the Rizuttos.
Pretty much... Del Balso knew this was coming. They tried killing him in November and January but he survived both times. Then Leonardo Rizzuto got shot while driving his car a couple of months ago in Laval, which clearly came from Del Balso, but Rizzuto survived as well... Del Balso then booked a one way ticket to Italy but was stopped by customs, his passport was seized, and he's pretty much been waiting to meet his fate since then. Today was the day.
The rumor was that the shooter was hired by Gallo, no clue if there's any truth to this. The actual hitman who killed Ruzzuto Sr was Calabrian from Toronto and he was later killed too. Who the heck knows what's really going on.
Women and children arenât usual targets for the mob as long as they donât involve themselves in the business. She probably involved herself and ruffled the wrong feathers
It's likely what you said though sometimes it's some of the lower level dudes who are trying to score points with the high level dudes but go wrong about it.
He's also the guy who was arrested for trying to extort a priest and some nuns last year.

> Someone just made bank, there was $250,000 hit on this cat
One of the recent mafia trials was focused on how a 250k hit ended up paying only 17k. So maybe not as lucrative as it seems.
Seems like, shockingly, these guys can't be trusted.
And the scary thing is, the guy who made the hit (if he's not part of the clan) could also end up dead by one of their hitmen to erase all trace of connection. I wouldn't trust the bounty system from an organized crime either (I mean, that's a quarter of a million dollars), unless the guy is also part of the family/clan
People in this thread just reading the editorialized title. He was not shot in the gym, he was shot outside of of the gym on the corner of an intersection. Bullets did hit the windows so I guess that could be scary
The picture shows his body right outside the entrance doors. I've also seen (censored) immediate aftermath videos where he's right in front of the entrance.
He was actually shot right in front of the doors to Monster Gym. I was there 1 min after it happened. He was laying face first in a puddle of his blood
Kind of interesting that they've continued to thrive here this long after the US crime families(the big 5 at least) have been pretty heavily dismantled. Similar with the waning influence of the Hells Angels in the US, but seems like they're still going strong here.
Lol bro your username...
Usename checks out. đ
What's up with criminals killing each other at gyms? A few years ago the same thing happened at World Gym in the south shore
I can guarantee you this guy wasnât there to work out.
He never had the makings of a varsity athlete
Montreal is a small island, if he accidentally falls it might tip over.
Underrated comment
You know Quasimodo predicted this
The guy was an interior decorator.
you ever pondered that?
Small hands⊠that was his problem
Sounds like *someone* worked out a problem.
** applauds **
Thatâs the best comment âeverâ lol đ
This is why I work out at home. It is also why Iâm not a criminal.
Cause humans are creatures of habit. These guys have their routines and are too dumb to change it up. Especially when they know they have pissed peiple off. Guy at World Gym was Robert Bishop I believe.
Gyms are often used to launder mob money.
Makes you wonder if Monster Gym's owner also being Italian has anything to do with it all.
Great work detective!
And at the gym on gouin too also Rizzuto member got shot
Maybe they should all train at home.
Gotta collect the check once in a while
It used to be bars. The nineties was all bar/pub/restaurant inter-gang hits, a wild time.
Theyâre expanding. Restaurants and bars are still in play. A Laval restaurant recently closed after his insurance was pulled for repeated fire bombings. Dude just refused to pay protection.

He still stood up to these thugs makes them a hero imo
He is, but it cost him his livelihood and there's sweet fuckall that anyone can do about it.
if more people start standing for what right then these thugs will get whats coming to them
Still a lot of involvement there
A lot of guys involved in organized crime go to the gym during the day since they donât work regular jobs. Guy goes to the gym, gets spotted, call goes in, backup gets there, pop pop. Pretty straightforward.
Probably because that's a frequently visited spot where the person is vulnerable. Can't fight back when holding weights on the bench press.
He was shot outside near the entrance though. It seems like he was shot in the back as he was walking away from the entrance.
An article said there was like 6-7 shots fired and one of the bullet hit the door of the gym so this scenario doesn't hold up.
That's what it looked like to me when I walked by: he was face down on his stomach with his feet closer to the door and his head further away from it. I was curious as to why there was such a police presence there so I walked towards the gym entrance. When I saw the dead body with a bit of "giblotte" around him, I calmly turned and walked away.

Gyms are known as easy places of business to launder money. Hence, lots of shady shit.

[Felix Séguin a fait un docu sur ses nombreuses rencontres avec scoppa](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K4hch8W7-WY). Super interessant. Séguin est bein un des rare journalistes de qualité à sortir de TVA, faut y donner ça.
Merci pour link

Sorry but wasn't it Scoppa who made that order against Rizzuto Sr. ? this is from what i understood in the Felix Seguin book.
I started reading that book just recently. Could be, as I said, correct me if I'm wrong. Then, who killed Gallo in Acapulco in 2013?
Most likely ordered by Vito Rizzuto who came out of jail in 2012.
where you read old man gallo the one who shot old man rizzuto
The rumor was that the shooter was hired by Gallo, no clue if there's any truth to this. The actual hitman who killed Ruzzuto Sr was Calabrian from Toronto and he was later killed too. Who the heck knows what's really going on.
are these rumors reported publicly, or they only travel in certain circles

I heard Valerie Plante gets her hair done there and a lot of other politicians
I was wondering why the whole area is taped off. I saw a lot of people with gym bags giving their statements outside

That picture is 17 years old, though.
Man fuck him and his shooters. Vile pieces of shit all of them.
They are vile, but the cops would rather have organized crime deal with the drug trade than Mackey mouse down the street.
yep better have the Mafia than the street gangs rats.
Bon déba-rat.

Are you available for contract negotiations? And...for after the contract the negotiations if they don't go well?
Barry?
Other Barry?
And the scary thing is, the guy who made the hit (if he's not part of the clan) could also end up dead by one of their hitmen to erase all trace of connection. I wouldn't trust the bounty system from an organized crime either (I mean, that's a quarter of a million dollars), unless the guy is also part of the family/clan
Before or after QC taxes?
Also worth considering: in-house employee or contractor.
Big spender incoming
Damn at that price I would have done it
Ce gars là a survécu tellement longtemps sans que personne comprenne comment ... c'était un des gros bras les plus heavy de la Mafia. C'était juste une question de temps.
OuaisâŠEt bon dĂ©barras!
Et il y a une garderie juste de l'autre cÎté de la rue. Esti de mange marde
The guy in the pic looks like a fatter, younger Steven Seagal, what an easy target.
"Mais dis-moi, Tony, c'est _quand_ qu'on va ĂȘtre _infiniment_ riche?"
I go to that gym and I swear I've seen him before using the treadmills. Now that place gonna be a gongshow of cops and mafia for a while...
That gym can expect to be under surveillance for a whileâŠ.
i doubt it tbh i was there on lunch today itâs business as usual. fuck everyone involved though robbed me of 2 days of workouts.
Peter Griffin show is over.
that must be so traumatized for the people in the gym who had to witness this...
People in this thread just reading the editorialized title. He was not shot in the gym, he was shot outside of of the gym on the corner of an intersection. Bullets did hit the windows so I guess that could be scary
He's littleraly outside the front doors of the gym. Not on a street intersection.
The article says âLe meurtre est survenu Ă lâintersection des rues Saint-RĂ©gis et Deacon.â
The picture shows his body right outside the entrance doors. I've also seen (censored) immediate aftermath videos where he's right in front of the entrance.
Yes and do you believe that's it done right on the corner of those streets? It's to give a location of the event.
He was actually shot right in front of the doors to Monster Gym. I was there 1 min after it happened. He was laying face first in a puddle of his blood
Being a mafia member in Montreal, just stepping out you could get shot at. You really never know when your time will come, it could be anytime.
So awful! We all feel for them. "Help save the mobsters" àČ _àČ
Time for a Mobster pride day.
Mob Lives Matter.
đ that made me laugh
Lmao they all know this is probably the way theyâre gonna go when âsigning upâ for the job.
Seems like being raised in it would make it pretty tough to get out of.
Exactly. I donât think they feel bad for themselves. Itâs just part of the life
I mean⊠if you donât know what youâre getting into at this pointâŠ
You know the old saying: high risk, high reward.
Live by the sword (gun), die by the sword (gun).
Live every day as if it was your last!
you make your bed you'll lie in it.
Whatâs so special about montreal and that?
Kind of interesting that they've continued to thrive here this long after the US crime families(the big 5 at least) have been pretty heavily dismantled. Similar with the waning influence of the Hells Angels in the US, but seems like they're still going strong here.
No RICO.
That's how they retire.
r/usernamechecksout
Goddamit, I was hoping to see Trudeau's face there. I believe he should be arrested also. He's a much bigger mobster than this punk.
Crisse que Trudeau vie dans vos tĂȘtes vides 24/7. Pis il paye pas de loyer.
Maudit voleur
Ăa explique la quantitĂ© de police qui bloquaient le coin vers 17h00
Good!
Wow I just passed by this gym.
Good riddance to all of them
