From a mafia perspective it's a damn mother**** shame. But like many others, this man was a brutal killer.
That's a good point, Sonny. His Wikipedia article is so extensive that a lot of people make that their first stop for information, but it's a bit biased - "He was a ruggedly handsome 210-pound man who stood 6 feet tall with hazel eyes and real long lashes and dimpled cheeks." Salvie repeatedly toyed with the idea of killing whole families of mob rulebreakers, and his guys had to intentionally foil a plot he hatched to kill a whole family. I can imagine him as a good boss, though. Philly has always been robbed of good bosses. I mean, Bruno was nothing special. But he kept peace.
Can you elaborate on the story of Salvie's men having to foil the plan to kill an entire family?
I have read on phillymobspot.com that Salvie had even more than 10 hits under his belt, and was responsible for over half the hits of the Riccobene war.
BTW does anyone kow where I can buy the book "Blood and Honor" by George Anastasia with Paypal( other than ebay, because right now they only have an autographed $100 copy)? Would be greatly appreciated.
