Gambino soldiers have been heard lamenting DeMeo's death on wiretap, believing he was killed for nothing. In that sense I think you're right. Paul had the excuse of hitting DeMeo for breaking LCN law within the realm of earnings, but I think the family sensed it was more just 'because I can'.
I was under the impression that Roy was almost universally disliked by the rest of the Gambino's. Were the lamenters in the Demeo crew (and where can I read the wiretaps) ?
Best way to catch the smart ones? Get an idiot working for them.
