00:01Joseph Merlino had a hangout at Sixth and Catherine in South Philadelphia.
00:06Ironically, it had been the headquarters of Greenpeace.
00:14We set up a camera on the front.
00:19After the violence escalated, it was just a matter of,
00:22OK, who's going to be next?
00:24Somebody's going to get hit.
00:26Joey Merlino and Michael Cinglini, they were very, very close.
00:30Like brothers, really.
00:32Mikey Chang I went to grade school with.
00:35Tough kid. Tough kid.
00:39I remember one time I saw him knock a kid out.
00:42We were in, like, seventh grade.
00:44I mean, it was brutal.
00:46Good guy, family guy, nice guy.
00:49We would drive every day around South Philadelphia looking to kill Joey Merlino.
00:59And I knew the area.
01:00I guess that's where my benefit to John was.
01:03They put me with Phil Coletti.
01:06He worked for John Stanford.
01:08I used to just go to the hangout after I closed my catering place.
01:23It's like a little social club.
01:25You know, coffee, soda, you want an ice cream, it's in the freezer.
01:29That type of stuff.
01:31They had a little kitchen in the back of the hangout.
01:34So Joey says, I want to eat today.
01:36I said, well, what do you want?
01:37He says, make the pork chops with the cherry peppers.
01:39We call them pork chops Joey.
01:40Basically what it is, you fry it.
01:42Then you take cherry peppers, add it a jar.
01:45You put the cherry peppers in there, cover it, bake them in the oven.
01:48My God, forget about it.
01:50So, you know me, I said, well, I ain't got no money.
01:53So he gives me the $200.
01:55If I get in the car and I go, I go to the Acme.
02:06We drove past 6th and Catherine, coming from 5th Street, which is east of that.
02:13We came down the street.
02:14Michael and Joey was on the corner talking.
02:19They proceeded to go across 6th and Catherine.
02:21I said, just pull it, man.
02:23And that's what we did.
02:24Phil put his gun out the window.
02:25I put my gun out the window.
02:27When we shot him, I'll never forget that there was a lady unloading groceries in the middle
02:35of the street.
02:36And we couldn't move.
02:37We had to move.
02:38I told her, get the fucking car, move the car, you know what I mean?
02:41At that point, we got out of there.
02:57Now and then.
02:58But please get through me next time, both of the cars looked like and I will.
03:02How did I get an accident without their repairing?
03:06Let's see.
03:08It becomes so pretty sturdy.
03:10You can't see all the cars came outside the water...
03:12I think the cars' relative.
03:14So you just can see all the cars coming in.
03:16So what does that involve me?
03:17What's your car are doing?
03:18I deinem.
03:19I loved the touch bikesumbling by Peter.
03:20I loved what ë³´.
03:21No, no, no.
03:22That was coming.
03:23It was helping things.
03:24I'm creating that dream destructive.
