NOTHING to do with his father's attempted murder

I don't believe his son. It is a widely known fact that Gambino slapped Colombo's face in a Brooklyn bar (in front of many people) a few weeks before the shooting. Gambino told Joe to "stop the crap".

Yep. Colombo was in a bar in Brooklyn celebrating his birthday with friends. Carlo Gambino came into the bar with a few friends of his own. He walked over to Colombo and told him to cut out all the crap, slapped him hard in the face and walked out. Colombo had to take it.
He was shot two weeks later.

I heard the story from someone who knew someone that was there. It was also reported in a book later written by a former NY police commissioner.

Slapping him doesn't mean he had anything to do with the shooting. A lot of people wanted to "slap" Colombo at the time, just that Carlo IF we were to believe the son was like a father figure to Colombo sr, was the only one that could

Not to mention, if Carlo wanted Colombo dead he would have got him whacked inside that bar. NOT in front of the worlds media and woman/ children (Gambino is gonna trust a black guy not to accidentally shoot any innocents??)

That had the hail marks of political assassination written all over (the son seems to think that too)

If he's strong enough to slap Joe around maybe he shouldn't have given Paul control of the family. Would have saved a lot of people headaches years to come.

That is if Paul was acting in 66/67.

Gambino used crazy joe gallo for organize the shooting and gallo used a black man promising him 100 000 $ for kill colombo. That it Carlo used other men for do the dirty work. Maybe said to gallo that will be the new boss if colombo die.

Thanks for that info SC. Never heard of that. I've always thought Gambino was behind Colombo's shooting ever since Joey Cantalupo talked about it in the Crime Inc documentary.

Anthony Colombo clearly had his own agenda, pretty much the entirety of the circumstantial evidence points to Carlo Gambino being behind the Colombo murder and setting it up in such a way that Joey Gallo took the fall.

Not to mention I've read his book, and he also paints the picture that Colombo was politically assassinated, but he also tries to imply that his father didn't run a crime family and was simply a civil rights leader.

Roy De Meo used Colombo's children as punching bags, didn't he?

The fact that Colombo's kid lies about his father not being a mob boss and the civil rights league being anything other than the scam it was automatically discredits everything else he says IMO.


I invoke my right under the 5th amendment of the United States constitution and decline to answer the question.

Agree with s club. I wonder if joe gallo thought he had no choice if he didn't do this for gambino he's dead either way. In the book he puts down Greg scarpa like he was a no one but you can go look at the 302 He was around quite offten.
