Alcapone was often in the centre of union vote rigging allegations.Detectives found there was NO evidence of any iregularities. It was never proven because he was never directly involved in all aspects of union voting and always gave full co-operation to the investigating authorities as any completely innocent person would. He often called for the Chicago mayor to step down after unfounded allegations against him.It just shows how some people had sour grapes for Alcapone.The mental suffering Alcapone and his family endured from the Chicago authorities must have been unbarable. He was after all only trying to better the community.At a later date he did falter with the authorities but thats another story. Although I am not making any comparisons with councillor Allah Dad and Alcapone personally.Allegations of vote rigging and bullying allegations at the voting station by supporters of these two Gentlemen are similar.I am sure the public will see through these unfounded allegations and give there full support to councillor Allah.

Does help if one gets the name right when trying to make comparisons
Sorry but I'm completely lost. If you mean Alphonso Capone, also known as Scarface, gang boss and Mafia hood, I don't see the connection. I think you are attempting irony in your post but - it isn't working.
I always thought Scarface was Paul Muni and Al Pacino
I too don't agree that you can compare the two......
although i found a picture of the guy i think your on about (as a teen) and am wondering why he only has half of his hair cut....maybe this really belongs in JB's thread 'If you were a barber'......

So is Al Capone putting up for the council next time round or have I got it wrong?
he is saying that the vote rigging is a load of rubbish and we should support councilllor Allah....
well if thats the case,its nonsense to pass comment on something thats gone on here,when yer across the water n have no idea.
I understood what he was inferring - the wall of silence that the police were up against is the same as that which Chicago police had to contend with when they investigated the Mafia in the 1930s.
Al Capone never stood trial for crimes committed by his 'mob' - they only nailed him for tax fraud.

Maybe it could have been added to the thread that was discussing the subject then people would have had a better idea of what it was about

Probably one of the addresses used for a postal vote, Gordie Cottage, Central Ward, Ireland.
Nobody at the town hall would have sussed that one out
If it was sarcasm ema, it was a very bad attempt
