| | Friend,
There I was, sitting in my car about a block and a half down the street from an infamous Italian bakery.
A bakery that had a mean maritozzo, but was infamous for other reasons.
You see, this is where some of the worst of the worst hung out. And I was there waiting for one man: A mafia capo named Johnny Apes.
Why was he given this nickname? Well, because he was known to go absolutely berserk … excuse me, let’s just say — he was known to lose his temper and severely beat his lackeys.
One wrong look in a meeting with Johnny Apes and he would lose his mind, and beat some of the members of his own family to a bloody pulp.
… At least, that was the word on the street.
Nevertheless, he was not the kind of guy that you wanted to mess with — and was suspected of killing north of 20 people.
Chicago just could not afford to have Johnny Apes on their streets.
I was biding time with the radio turned all the way down and the driver-side window cracked about three or four inches to let a breeze in. I checked the area surrounding the bakery and saw nothing and was just about ready to call it a day.
Just as I went to put my key back in the ignition, there was movement. I quickly picked up my binoculars and saw the man that so many feared — Johnny Apes.
It was like something out of a movie, this big, mean mob boss walking right down the middle of the street with a bald head, tinted-lensed glasses and a box of cannolis in tow.
So I moved in.
I didn’t just want to bust this guy, I wanted to convince him to be an FBI informant. And as I riddled off all of the violent crimes the FBI knew that Johnny Apes had committed trying to persuade him, I’ll never forget the quick smirk he gave me, accompanied with one telling phrase: “nothin’ like a good beating to keep the family together.”
I share this story with one message: It might not be the mob or Johnny Apes anymore, but we absolutely have a huge crime issue on our streets again.
With your help, I’ll take my knowledge from the FBI and United States Army training right to the halls of the Senate.
The likes of Joe Biden and Chuck Schumer sure won’t — but I will work on DAY ONE to stop this crime epidemic. And let me tell you how:
1. We HAVE to secure our Southern Border. Joe Biden is practically rolling out the red carpet for drug dealers, gang bangers, human traffickers and yes, even those on the FBI’s terror watchlist. This has to stop.
2. We MUST empower and support our nation’s law enforcement. No more peddling around with radical ideas like “defunding the police” or imposing cashless bail. The men and women in blue need to know that as Americans, we have their six.
3. We NEED to get back to PROSECUTING CRIMINALS to the fullest extent of the law again. No more slaps on the wrist. If you do the crime, you do the time.
I’m Mike Rogers — and I’ve helped take down some of the worst criminals this nation has ever seen. When I’m in the Senate, we’ll restore law and order to this country, and GET AMERICA BACK ON TRACK.
