G-men interviewed Chicago mobster Jimmy "the Monk" Allegretti only a week after the November 22, 1963 assassination of President John F. Kennedy in order to determine whether he had any connections to Jack Ruby who on November 24 had killed supposed assassin Lee Harvey Oswald according to the recently released FBI file on Allegretti.
Allegretti was the Rush Street crew boss who ran the vice rackets -- gay bars, strip clubs, whore houses, gambling dens -- from the mid-1940s to the mid-1960s on the Near North Side for Chicago Outfit underboss Ross Prio, and in the FBI interview he denied knowing Ruby although with typical wise guy attitude "indicated that he was not sure whether he would be willing to discuss him if he would have any information concerning this man."

According to this same report the FBI also suspected gay bar operator Nate Zuckerman as an Allegretti associate, and interviewed either him or an employee the name is redacted at the Front Page Lounge at Rush and Grand Streets who similarly disclaimed knowing Ruby.

The FBI interview with Allegretti confirms that it was interested in a possible mob connection to the Kennedy assassination from the very beginning.

>>Prostitution is legal in Columbia? Really?
Had nothing to do with anything on this thread, but Google is your friend.

Mr. or Ms. Moderator, would you please nuke this thread and consider giving Lx a timeout for troll activity?
Too funny...
This thread is a real knee slapper!
I’m not the one with the high blood pressure. Some people don’t understand how a public forum works and as there’s no ignore button, you get to see it all.
What a funny exchange...I almost fell out of my chair laughing.
Yes we will, thanks for the heads up.
We also will close Free Republic down for two days to give time for all concerned to reassess their reasons for posting on FR.
We only do this in April 1st of each year.
Really, so what’s your take? Is this a who dunnit or was it the patsy alone or?
Ohh...This is just too great....
I give this thread a 10 on the honking hoot scale!
MIRRIAM-WEBSTER sez: Definition of REGICIDE 1: a person who kills a king 2: the killing of a king
I happen to agree with fool - the King must die!
Happy April 1st to you.
This is a decent April Fools article. I’ve seen a few weak attempts, then there is my strong success. And this, this one was strong.
Oswald was a commie, leftist, Castro loving murderous lil tasbard. Dont forget he shot police office Tippett in Dallas just after his dirty deed. Jack Ruby shot him straight to hell in the express lane but chances are Ruby is there too.
The son of a famous spy told me it was the Mafia. Reason? They can only thrive in a free society. Kennedy was getting too close to the communists, which would have ended the Mafia.
BTW, I basically concur...There was much more to this. And when they allowed the assassin to be assassinated...Well
Watch it or I’ll complain to the, oh wait, never mind.
I got regicide from I think a Simpsons episode. They were dialing 9/11 and the voice prompt said, press #1 for regicide.
“BTW, I basically concur...There was much more to this. And when they allowed the assassin to be assassinated...Well”
I don’t know if you’ve ever seen the series “The Men Who Killed Kennedy” on the History Channel - some of it is somewhat worthless in my view (e.g. “LHO’s girlfriend”), but there’s also a lot of solid stuff to chew on. It’s on YouTube - this episode is “The Patsy”.

Interesting tidbits and speculation, if nothing else.
“The son of a famous spy told me it was the Mafia. Reason? They can only thrive in a free society. Kennedy was getting too close to the communists, which would have ended the Mafia.”
Kind of a circuitous route IMO; Bobby Kennedy was going after the Mob, he was a direct thorn in their side.
