The St. Valentine's Day Massacre's Wicked, Wicked Wall

It began when I started looking for a Valentine's Day present for someone on the internet. I was hoping to find something special but after surfing the web for a while nothing really clicked so when I stumbled onto an article at a webpage about the St. Valentine's Day Massacre I started reading. Everybody who is from any where near Chicago knows the story and since I'm from Chicago I knew it too. Some Chicago mobsters from one gang got murdered inside a Clark Street garage by another gang on Valentine's Day during the Al Capone days. That's the story, but I kept on reading the article anyway. The account I read was written by a Troy Taylor and I found it at http://www.prairieghosts.com/valentine.html. After I started to read it I got curious as to whether there were any different versions of the massacre so I surfed around some more and quite a few, but all the other versions were very similar to Taylors' . I even found Taylor's exact same account at more than several other websites- not all of which gave credit to Taylor for it. So I went back to Troy Taylor's version of the massacre and kept reading.

Taylor wasn't really saying anything new or controversial. Basically, on Valentine's Day in Chicago in 1929 seven members of "Bugs'" Moran's Northside gang were put up against the North inside brick wall of a mechanic's garage on Clark Street and executed with a machine gun. No one was ever charged with the crime but it's almost a given today that Chicago's notorious Al Capone ordered the hit in an attempt to kill "Bugs" Moran himself. "Bugs" wasn't at the garage at the time. As Moran was arriving he ducked into another building down the street from the garage after he sensed something suspicious.
