--------
Bill Courtney shed light on the grim reality of the 1980s and 1990s drug wars in Queens, particularly focusing on infamous figures like Big Nose Troy and Haitian Jack. Courtney acknowledged Big Nose Troy's reputation as a formidable presence who dared to challenge the notorious Supreme Team led by Kenneth "Supreme" McGriff. Despite his strength, Troy was ultimately taken out by the Supreme Team, who used sophisticated communication methods like two-way pagers to track and ambush him at the Van Wyck sports bar. This tragic event left a lasting mark on Courtney, who recounted the harrowing image of Troy's 12-year-old son reading a letter at the sentencing, illustrating the devastating toll such violence takes on families. The conversation also touched on the ethos of Haitian Jack, who, along with his crew, targeted drug dealers, believing they were delivering a community service. This led to more violence, driven by the lucrative, ruthless nature of the drug trade.
