Goodman defends St. Valentine’s wall

Mayor Oscar Goodman would like to put the critics of his mob museum
idea up against a wall and let ‘em have it. Rat-a-tat-tat.

Goodman took time this past week to give his reasoning behind the
acquisition of the St. Valentine’s Day Massacre wall for the museum.
The massacre, of course, occurred in Chicago and not Las Vegas.

Goodman said, “All of organized crime’s tentacles were the subject
of the inquiry were the subject of (Sen. Estes) Kefauver when he was
out here for the hearing. And of course it goes back to Chicago. It’s
definitely a piece of gore, which represents the violence of the mob.
It represents the inner-workings of the mob, and that’s all part of
this. The good news is, at least as far as some people are concerned,
we know the end of the story. The mob lost and law enforcement won.
So, people can leave with a smile on their face.”

With that, the man in the pinstriped suit moved on to other topics.
