Prosecutors say just hours after 25-year-old Robert McTernan landed in Boston for a two-week vacation, he entered a bakery in the North End, a largely Italian neighborhood. They say he grabbed a knife and demanded a cannoli from an employee.

Thanks Simon Judge
Demanded a ‘conolo’.
Canoli is the plural.
And by god are they delicious. Stuffed myself with them in Catania last summer.
connolo :) conolo is a small place in the south.
It’s amazing how one can look stupid at a time when one is trying to look smart…
*hangs head in shame*

America is a merciless country that’s fond of imprisonment.
Just reading an article today (attempting to sound clever) the prison population in 1973 USA was 300,000 today it is 2.3 Million !!
They should try segregating the men and women.
arf arf
Hmmm. Reminds me of this
Oh Happy Friday indeed-The Sopranos & Cannoli!
RIP Sopranos -nothing compares to that show- though Mad Men comes close.
Thanking the Nom Nom gods am in Rome next week…first stop Cannoli stop.
Oooh might have to restart Sopranos now!!
anyone ever noticed that that is Vito before he becomes a regular. His name is Geno is that scene
Ah, it was just they didn’t understand the ol Orish lilt. What he actually said was
“Con all ye…” he was going to finish with wash this knife, but the cops bust in the place and cracked his nut for him.
…..what?
I’l have to assume you’re not irish.
Ah soft day by gawd!
If it’s not Mike’s Pastry, it’s not cannoli.
Noob.
I’m sure it was.. And tbh, I admire him for figuring out a way to skip those queues!

the internet is a funnny thing
A Newbridge man they say. They’ve a bit of a thing for knives.
“Officers found the Newbridge, Ireland, resident in the kitchen and arrested him on an armed robbery charge. Police could not find the knife.”
Something quite odd about this, why would you stay on the premises? and how could they lose the knife?
If they didn’t lose the weapon, we wouldn’t have a Godfather reference.

It was necessary. The police understood this. Legal or illegal, pop culture references are priority.
Ironic; when all he needed was a spoon.
Ugh, cannoli, so disgusting.
Any chance they’d keep him?
What the.. I went to school with this guy.
There is zero chance he did what is being reported.
He went to UCD to study.
Why would he rob just a conoli?
Cannoli. More addictive than heroin they say.
