That does not sound like something a civilian would do. Plus he was close enough to Etore Zappi for them to have that conversation, he was no innocent civilian. I'm glad this thread continued, we learn more as we go along.


Yes, he was an innocent civilian. Being given advice does not make you guilty of anything. What a ridiculous thing to say.

He was a victim of circumstances due to a tragic accident. The mafia are bad people. It's not a difficult concept to grasp.

. Absolutely. He was a good family man who unfortunately was involved in a tragic accident that was unavoidable. Sadly the kid was the son of a maniac



Just because he worked at a place part owned by a wiseguy, does not mean he was a "connected" guy, not in the criminal sense.


. I’m glad you brought this up. Knowing mobsters doesn’t mean you’re involved or that you are “fair game”. My grandfather knew it was friendly with many wise guy. However he was a legit ad they come and would always stress the importance of living a lawful and legit life and never getting involved in mob life. It doesn’t matter that Favara was friendly with the Zappi family. He was a legit family man who sadly was involved in an accident that occurs every day. Unfortunately for him Frank Gotti’s father was a nutjob
