I always felt if it was purely a mafia hit, why kill him at the rally and not at another time in his office or at his home.
You meant to say wasn't probably. What better way when you think about it? Why not try to get them to look in a different direction?
I think the FBI would rather see him rot in jail rather than assassinate him. Plus use a black man and woman? In front of thousands of people? They were close to putting Colombo in jail, had a Top Echelon informant right next to him giving them updates, and driving him up the wall crazy and at the worst time Gallo gets out and that's another headache.
