The mob was simply NOT involved at all, but was thrown out there to the gullible public and even to many other crime figures, who were not in the know, as a "red herring" so to speak!

And IMO, that is the bottomline truth to Colombo's Columbus Day shooting!

I respect your work and can tell that we’re around the “LIFE”.

Colombo was killed by the FBI.

I have heard this before never paid attention to it mostly because the son who told the story was a real “FINOCCHIO”

The story about Colombo spitting in in Gambino’s face is not true?
If it is true, are you telling me that Spitting in the “BOSS OF BOSSES” face is NOT a death sentence.

You also telling me that it was ok for the “BOSS” of one of the 5 families, it was ok for him to bring the attention that he brought?

On T.V. Radio and Print….

Back then that was NOT a death sentence?

You still had all the old school bosses at the helm.

For what reason would the FBI want to kill Colombo?
