Providence is in a love-hate relationship with its mob ties. You can buy t-shirts in Providence with the title (above) printed on them, in Sopranos-style font and layout.

another example today, and thought I'd pass it on.....

PROVIDENCE, Rhode Island (AP) -- Louis James DeFusco was found floating in Narragansett Bay in August 1964, a ship's anchor tied around his legs and a bullet in his mouth. Authorities called it a suicide.
[...]
Plus, there were the peculiar circumstances of his death -- the heavy anchor tied around his legs, for instance, and the undetected gunshot wound to the head.
After the first autopsy failed to find the entrance wound, Gilson said, doctors must have inferred that DeFusco shot himself in the mouth, survived, and drowned by attaching an anchor to himself. The gunshot wound identified in the mouth was initially thought to be nonfatal.
The younger DeFusco said a local police chief was so insistent that his father had committed suicide that he stood on a chair to give a demonstration of how it could have happened.
