My point was that back then the mob had not yet had it's power severely weakened. Even today most people in the NYC area would have be scared shitless to have a problem with a mob guy, back then, twice as much.
. Very True. Back in 1980 in that neighborhood would never be any to cross a mob guy. Even those who “supported†Gotti did it mostly out of fear after what happened to Favara
Not true, they loved him there for the most part. His supporters were even fanatical about him. He never had to force them, he couldn't. You may disagree with their feelings, but you have to know they were not scared or coerced.
