The Valentine's Day Massacre

This #ValentinesDay2025, to mark this global celebration of love and because the both of us are such romantic sh*tes, we'd like to share a tale of bootlegging, prostitution & murder - with an (un)healthy dash of syphillis thrown in, with you lovely people. Figuratively speaking, that is.

The #ValentinesDayMassacre in #Chicago in 1929 was one of the most infamous events in #history. Seven associates of #bootlegger George "Bug" Moran were gunned down by 4 unknown individuals.

All of this took place during a time when drinking 'alcohol was a crime. #Prohibition led to the establishing of illegal #bootlegging tradelines. #Prostitution, #Speakeasies & #IllegalGambling were the whispers on every street corner.

Join us as we dive into the murky world that led to the #ValentinesDayMassacre and some the aftermath..
