Thats why I love reading about Nino, he was an old-school tough guy, Cosa Nostra to the bone. Kept things low-key, lived in his old row house which Montiglio dubbed "the bunker."
The guy wasn't afraid getting into a shootout with a cop even as a capo in his 50s... he would have never gone down if it wasn't for his nephew. If not your crew, then it's your blood that does you in, because you don't expect it from them. Ask Nicky Scarfo.
