I don't believe for a minute if they walked around NYC and were seen they'd be whacked. The Mob just doesn't care about it anymore. Anyone who thinks differently is living in the past. Anything happen to Cali's killer or his family? And Cali supposedly was connected all the way back to the "real" mobsters in Sicily. I do believe these guys Franzese and Pistone in particular like to keep that line of thinking out there because it's "dangerous" for them to be heard and seen, regular people love the mob talk from a guy who has a $500,000 bounty on his head like Pistone claims, maybe at one time but not anymore. It's a good story and that's all. Tumac could walk into Newark no one even knows who he is anymore that has the onions to take him out. It's over men, it's over.
