The son of a New York mob boss has given Islamic State a stark warning, saying if they are planning any attacks in New York, they will have to contend with the Sicilian mafia. The notorious crime syndicate say they want to do their bit to protect locals.
Giovanni Gambino, the son of a key figure in the Gambino mob organization, says the mafia is in a much better position than security bodies, such as the FBI or Homeland Security, to give New Yorkers the protection they need.
“They often act too late, or fail to see a complete picture of what’s happening due to a lack of ‘human intelligence,’” he said in an interview with NBC News, as cited by Reuters, adding that the mafia’s knowledge of individual movements and interaction with locals gives it the upper hand, even compared to the latest surveillance technologies.
Gambino, who is trying to carve out a career as a Hollywood screenwriter, says that, following the horrendous terror attacks in Paris on November 13, protection is more important than ever.
“The world is dangerous today, but people living in New York neighborhoods with Sicilian connections should feel safe,” he said. “We make sure our friends and families are protected from extremists and terrorists, especially the brutal, psychopathic organization that calls itself the Islamic State,”
Gambino Jr, who was brought up in Torretta, a mountainous area overlooking Palermo, the capital of Sicily, says that Islamic State (formerly ISIS/ISIL) fear the Sicilian mafia, and this has been one of the main reasons why they have not tried to set up any underground cells in Sicily.

The Italian island has not suffered from any terrorist attacks and Gambino feels that the mafia can offer protection in New York to help curb the rise of the Islamist terror group and help people see the mob in a new light.
“The mafia has a bad reputation, but much of that’s undeserved,” says Gambino, who moved to Brooklyn in 1988. “As with everything in life, there are good, bad and ugly parts – the rise of global terrorism gives the mafia a chance to show its good side.”
Ha Ha! Now the cops have competition! lmao!
That was my first thought as well. It’s one criminal gang competing with another to offer a protection racket.
I’ve been laughing so much, I haven’t been able to comment. I was waiting to see what y’all would say. 😉 😀
“They often act too late, or fail to see a complete picture of what’s happening due to a lack of ‘human intelligence,’”
That isn’t possible, being that they’re the perpetrators. the Keystone Kops act is just that… an act.
“We make sure our friends and families are protected from extremists and terrorists, especially the brutal, psychopathic organization that calls itself the Islamic State,”
I hear no mention of Mossad, blowhard.
They certainly did a great job at keeping the Koreans from taking over what use to be “Little Italy” in Manhattan…NOT!
All I can think of is the voice of Anthony Hopkins as Hannibal Lector telling Clarice Starling “Quid Pro Quo, Clarice, Quid Pro Quo…” with the folks of NYC being Clarice…protection racket, indeed. As someone who grew up on Long Island and knowing folks who either got whacked by the Mafia or who committed suicide because they couldn’t pay the Mafia back what they owed them, I’m not inclined to laugh at this.
“Sicilian mafia offers Big Apple protection from ‘psychopathic’ ISIS”
Seriously?
Oh brother…. 🙄 What is this world coming to?
He’s right. Bensonhurst is home to probably a half-million Sicilians (and a few mob bosses), and there’s no crime there. It’s the ONLY place in NYC where I would leave my bicycle unlocked, and know it wouldn’t get stolen.
I’d certainly put more faith in the Gambinos to protect the streets than the NYPD.
lol
NYPDees Nutz
paris was just a distraction. as soon as this happened, everyone forgot about that supposed missile launch.
Huh, I don’t remember any response after the Jewish Mafia caused 10 billion in damages and killed thousands in NYC? Funny that eh?
This kids a coat tail riding pussy faggot if I ever saw one. Bring it you little faggot, all talk and all that muscle to do what you can’t!? GUIDO POS women. I’d smash this little pukes face into a windshield twenty times before Geuseppi and Franco could waddle their fat stromboli asses out of his whop ride Lincoln…..I’ve got your New York minute mouth right here eggplant.
