A Sitdown At The Sportsmans Lodge
 The LA Family lost the most creditability during one forgettable sitdown at the Sportsman's Lodge in
the San Fernando Valley.  The whole fiasco started in a Las Vegas strip club.  John Bronco who was
no slouch in the fist department was seated in the club with some friends when the diminutive Capo
Louie Caruso walked in the club.  Louie who is very short likes to make up for his size by pumping up
his body with weights. I have heard a number of stories about what happened but I will tell you what I
feel to be the closest to the truth. John Bronco sent over some drinks to Louies table, Louie snubbed
him.  John Bronco then walked over and the two of them had words.  I am sure that Louie punked out
because like I said John Bronco no matter what he became could scrap.

 Louie was furious that he had been disrespected in front of his friends by an Associate.  Louie called
veteran Capo Jimmy Caci who knew John Bronco well for many years.  John bronco drove to LA with
LA Solider Steve Cino where they would have the sitdown.  The sitdown which is really only supposed
to be made guys and not any non member's present should have been quick.
Jimmy was driven by an associate named Ori Spado to the Sportsman's Lodge.  Once there they were
met by Steve and John, Jimmy walked out to the parking lot where he noticed some LAPD OC Squad
guy in a car.
Louie Caruso showed up within minutes inside the bar area with another LA Solider Tommy, who is
also a young punk and the son of a Pizza connection Convict. I am sure knowing what I know about
Tommy and Louie that they were afraid of being hurt.  They had all just sat down when two large low
rent bikers walked inside and stood next to the table.  The two dim wit muscle for hire guys had no
idea what they were doing, since they mostly muscled people who were scared of them.  Jimmy stood
up and asked Louie what was going on with those two.  Both Tommy and Louie stammered out an
answer that they were just there. Jimmy started yelling and everyone walked away.  Jimmy got into his
car with Ori while the LAPD took pictures of the whole episode. John and Steve left for Las Vegas
while Jimmy headed for Beverly Hills.  Jimmy and Ori waited at Walters Deli on Cannon Drive for Louie
and Tommy.  They both showed up soon afterwards.  Jimmy took the two of them out to the alley
where he dressed them down. The talk featured Tommy saying how he was born into this thing, Jimmy
just looked at him and walked away.
The LAPD observed the whole scene unfold, they were alerted by at least two informants who were
there that day.  They even laughed that the LA Family had to hire bikers for a intra family sitdown.
