I have no idea on that one Iceman. I'm just saying when the decision was made to hit Sonny Red i think they determined that Bruno had to go too. If not with his father then asap afterwards.

Thats just my opinion though.

Exactly Giancarlo. Alot of the stuff these guys are talking about happened a long time ago. That story always smelled like BS. I think what Joe doesn't want to admit is that he wanted to became a made guy because he liked being in the mob. Of course he wont say that.
Giancarlo, did you catch the philly doc? It was pretty solid.

Vinnie i watched it earlier today. Someone posted in the other thread the link to it online and i watched it. Nothing really new, but i thought the video and photos were pretty good.

Overall i thought it was a pretty good show.

Some quality photos and great video clips.

The best bit was right at the end of that reporter asking Fat Tony Salerno if he's got anything to say and Fat Tony replies 'Yeah, go fuck yourself' hahaha brilliant, never seen that before.

I laughed when he said that. Classic Fat Tony.

Hahaha that was funny as hell, I remember during the commission trial when a reporter asked Tony Ducks if he was sorry about allowing Perisco to be his own lawyer, since Perisco obviously hurt everyone with his defense, but after being asked Tony said " I aint sorry bout nuttin." Gangsters till the end.

thanks for posting this. enjoyed seeing the footage of young michael franzese with sonny, was a pretty suave looking fellow

You think? I think young Michael looked like a goofy little geek to be honest lol.

Looked about as gangster as my big toe.

Rare video footage of Galante in that documentary. It's annoying how they have to mute that video segment with him and the guy. Who's he talking to, anybody got any background on this?

I always heard the plan was for Bruno to be at that meeting too, but Sonny Red decided it would be too dangerous to have them all there in the same spot and brought Lino instead.

IIRC I read in a book (forget which) that Lino ran off to Neil Dellacroce for protection and he said something like "the next time you are supposed to be killed you stay and be killed" or something like that. I think it also took Lino a good week or two to come back around because he thought he was for sure on the hit list.

Didn't Lino eventually turn fed?

Yeah rolled in 03. He sytayed around for over 20 years lol.
