So are you saying Bobby Manna was tougher than Chin? Idk too much about Manna I just read about him in Phil Leonetti's book.

manna got permission, no question. i did not have to be there to know that..if you went behind chin's back ,you were in a trunk

No doubt whatsoever. And we're not talking about just anyone here. Manna absolutely worshipped the ground that Vince walked on. No way this hit was gonna be on the sneak.

Yeah Bobby Manna and Scarfo had a pretty close relationship going back to time they spet in prison. In regards to what Facchia said about Chin being araid of Gotti i dont buy that. Chin was actually a smart boss because not only did he use the "crazy" routine effectively but he also used front bosses to shield him away from heat.

To say that the Chin was "afraid" of Gotti, is like saying that Stephen Hawking is afraid of a physics student....as bosses, they couldn't be further apart..both in style and substance.

Despite them being different bosses, I think it's kind of stupid to say that Chin wasn't afraid of Gotti. I mean, we're talking about killers here, both of them, who were in charge of big families. There had to be at least some thoughts in Chin's head(after the failed bombing and whatnot) that Gotti might try to seek revenge. But I'd say that's pretty normal for the lifestyle they lived, you never knew who'd go after you and why. I mean, shit, Gotti did take out his own boss.

there is a difference between concern and fear..

Yea, I think Chin had concern about Gotti, not fear. The sit down they had, in which Gotti brags about making his son, and Chin goes "I'm sorry to hear that", then basically moves on to the next subject. Anyone who feared Gotti wouldn't have spoken to him that way. All of Gotti's guys kissed his ass, they worshipped him, Nicky Scarfo had some sort of bond with the guy because they thought alike, the Chin was his complete opposite, and he knew it, I think he felt that in so many ways he was the superior human being to John Gotti, at least a superior mobster anyway. The Chin was of a different breed, I think he was as aware of that as those around him.

sinatra well said, and you never know what chin and nicky had agreed on.he may been told play nice with gotti..chin was a master..

Gotti was a tough guy BUT he wasnt feared by many like some suggest. Maybe his underlings were scared mostly because they couldnt think for themselves(bergin crew were a bunch of morons to be honest). Im still trying to see evidence to suggest Chin was afraid of Gotti lol.

taking out your own boss in your own fractured family (certainly was at that time), and taking out the most powerful boss on the commission is quite another...if Gotti even momentarily considered that action, he would have quickly been set straight by the likes of Frankie Loc and the just reality in general...what you are implying is pure fantasy.
