A #Prohibition-era #gang #turfwar between the #NorthSideGang & #AlCapone's #ChicagoOutfit led to the #SaintValentinesDayMassacre on #ThisDayInHistory in 1929. Banning the drugs that people want leads only to ever greater crime and violence, and seven men paid the price this day.

Honored that my Prohibition Era Pilot set in Chicago, "Gin Mill," has won the Cannes Script Award for Best TV Pilot! #Cannes #cannesscriptawards #tvpilot #screenwriting #film #Chicago #prohibition #Gangster #northsidegang

In #Chicago, the #NorthSideGang attempted to assassinate #AlCapone by riddling his car with bullets outside a State Street restaurant. Capone was inside conducting business and escaped unharmed.
