The Original Gangland Slaying Hoax


I actually thought up, this hoax/prank, when I was a teenager, back, in the 1960's, and we pulled it off, flawlessly, not knowing the firestorm, that it would ignite. Thinking, that it was an actual, gangland slaying, police, from all the surrounding towns, converged, on the shooting site. It became pretty involved, and grew way out. of proportion, with my picture, being handcuffed and arrested, ending up, on the front page, of the Boston Globe, the next day. The charges, against me, were worded wrongly, and ended up causing many problems, in my following, adult years. On a slightly humorous note, my poor mother spent all the following day, traveling around, to every store and newsstand, in our neighborhood, buying up all the newspapers, so our neighbors wouldn't see my picture.
