i believe it was a commison ruling that was brought up and ordered by gambino, given to gallo then farmed out to jerome johnson. i just wonder how they talked to johnson into doing this...he had to have known he was gonna die.
In my opinion I don't think that it was ever presented to the commission. But regardless if it was or wasn't, you believe that Don Carlo was indeed behind the hit and that he gave the contract to Crazy Joe to carry out. Ok.
Oldman Gambino was pissed that Colombo was drawing unnecessasary attention to LCN with his involvment in the Italian-American civil rights movement.
Gambino would be my pick
Ok. I tend to lean towards what you've said above.... and if that was the case then my question now becomes; Did Don Carlo PUT Crazy Joe up to it? Or did Don Carlo have it set up to make it look like Crazy Joe was behind it by using a black man?
