Look what happened with Bruno......Someone on this board said that The Chin intervened and saved Bruno's life.....Someone saved his life and told them no one touches that kid and it sure wasn't Massino, Rastelli or, Napolitano that chose to let a guy named whack whack off the hook.

I just think that if an employee can always go over a local bosses head, if their is a true injustice, the same ought to apply in the underworld.....Otherwise, the real strength of the organization(soldiers and associates) would lose faith in the structure and could group together, rebel and wipe out all the upper levels. They outnumber upper levels by 50:1. What is stopping that from occurring? Carlo Gambino's awesome Brazilian Jui Jitsu? Anthony Casso's aikido?
Look at what Luciano did with all his young buddies to set order back!
