Fiction, no matter how reality based, allows for alot of latitude. True, a mob boss doesn't usually go on hits. But keep in mind that this is a New Jersey family or, as Carmine characterized it, a glorified crew. That's not far from the truth. It has few soldiers and associates so I think that that allows for the Boss to get more personally involved in family actions. I dunno!
