Alcapone vote rigging
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.

Re: Alcapone vote rigging
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.

Re: Alcapone vote rigging
I always thought Scarface was Paul Muni and Al Pacino

Re: Alcapone vote rigging
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'...... http://www.accringtonweb.com/forum/f...l<br /> <br />  Edit...cant seem to get the picture on here
