1949 - 12 Gunmen Surrounded Bumpy's House for 8 Hours — Police Found 12 Bodies at Dawn

Описание: October 14th, 1949, 11:47 PM: Twelve armed professional gunmen surrounded Bumpy Johnson's Harlem brownstone. They came prepared for siege: rifles, pistols, ammunition, provisions. Their mission: eliminate Johnson. Their plan: surround the house, prevent escape, force him out or breach entry, complete the h*t.

Eight hours later at 6:15 AM, police found twelve bodies scattered around the property. All twelve were the gunmen who came to k*ll Bumpy Johnson. And Johnson? Sitting calmly in his living room, uninjured, reading newspaper, waiting to give police his statement.

This is the story of the most one-sided siege in organized crime history. How twelve professional h*tmen failed completely. How Bumpy Johnson had spent years fortifying his home specifically for this scenario. And how eight hours of sustained assault ended with perfect defensive victory: twelve attackers eliminated, defender unharmed.

Detective Michael O'Brien: "I've investigated hundreds of homicides. I've never seen anything like this. Twelve armed men attacked one man's fortified home. All twelve are d*ad. The defender doesn't have a scratch. It was tactically perfect defensive operation."

⚠️ HISTORICAL CONTEXT:
October 1949 siege organized by Vincent "The Chin" Gigante (Genovese crime family) due to territorial disputes over Harlem policy operations. Twelve gunmen hired for $10,000 each—substantial payment in 1949 demonstrating seriousness of contract.

Johnson's home had been systematically fortified over several years: bulletproof glass windows, steel-reinforced doors, steel plates in walls, multiple weapon caches, provisions for extended siege, emergency exit tunnel. Cost estimated $25,000—massive investment proving Johnson anticipated eventual attack on his home.

Eight-hour siege 11:47 PM October 14 through 6:15 AM October 15. Twelve gunmen eliminated through defensive tactical shooting from fortified positions inside house. Johnson uninjured. Police investigation confirmed clear self-defense: attackers initiated assault, Johnson defended property and life using reasonable force given sustained deadly threat.

District Attorney declined prosecution: "Mr. Johnson was victim of organized assassination attempt. He defended his home and his life. No charges warranted." Vincent Gigante paid families of d*ad gunmen as promised but never attempted another attack on Johnson.

Military analysts who later reviewed incident noted Johnson executed near-perfect defensive tactics: superior position, resource management, psychological warfare, exit denial.
