I guess I'll keep this going -

When the idea was proposed to the commission - Which two mafia bosses were reportedly in favor of whacking Rudy Giuliani?

John Gotti and Carmine Persico


Mods should mind their own business and leave poster's profile signatures alone.

^ Correct, im not surprised Persico is a hot head he would wack half his family (almost did during the war) if he could


Tommy Shots: They want me running the family, don't they know I have a young wife?
Sal Vitale: (laughs) Tommy, jump in, the water's fine.

Yes, and I'm sure there will be some celebrations here in Carroll Gardens when the old man finally bites the dust.

Thats probably why Carmin Persico Sr. was called "The Snake" but i could be wrong.
Just a guess but there could be another reason?

I've read that Persico's "Snake" nickname came as much from his looks as from his violent nature but that his primary nickname was "Junior".


"When the snows fall and the white winds blow, the lone wolf dies but the pack survives."
Winter is Coming

Now this is the Law of the Jungleā€”as old and as true as the sky; And the wolf that shall keep it may prosper, but the wolf that shall break it must die.
As the creeper that girdles the tree-trunk, the Law runneth forward and back; For the strength of the Pack is the Wolf, and the strength of the Wolf is the Pack.

Setting up his friend Larry Gallo for execution in a dingy bar would be the leading candidate. He initially joined the Gallos in their revolt against Profaci and was taken under his wing by Larry when he first started running numbers for Frankie Shots in the mid 1950's.

In other words, the very definition of a snake.
