Saint Valentine's Day Massacre Paper

In this we’ll talk about who was involved in the Saint Valentine's Day massacre and what it was. Firstly, what was the Saint Valentine's Day Massacre? It was the name for the murder of seven men in the time of the prohibition era. Further more, who was involved in this event? This event was participated in by the South Side Italian lead by Al Capone (The shooters) and the North Side Irish lead by Bugs Moran (The victims.) Clearly, this was a horrible event but maybe not for all people involved.
And now we’ll talk about when this occurred who was killed and where this was. Firstly, when this happened. This was on February evening in 1929 where four men were found riddled with holes. Next, where they were found. They were found in S.M.C Cartage Co. garage. Finally, who were these men? Well they were all bootleggers working for Bugs Moran Except for one who was a man who was named Albert Weinshank. These men were all lined up against a wall to be shot to death. Clearly, these two gangs had some grudge to settle with each other.
Now we can find out why there was one man who wasn’t a bootlegger. Firstly, where was Bugs Moran? Bugs was actually running late to the meeting (aka the assassination). Finally why didn’t he come into the building? When he arrived the shooting had been done and when he saw a cop car he fled the seen unknowingly saving his life. Clearly, this wasn’t completely bad for Bugs but it was for everybody else.
Ok so what happened here, well seven men were killed by the opposite gang and one of them being at the wrong place at the wrong time because he wasn’t in any of the gangs. The man who was there and they thought was Bugs Moran wasn’t. And this was a good thing for bugs because he saw the cop cars a fled saving his life without knowing it.
