I pointed out that they were not on purpose, or in the Ragucci case done on orders of the mob, but by a rough DeMeo. If the bosses were ordering civilians killed that is one thing, and you may give one example. What happened in the cases cited were not that. I said they were tragic. Even Favara was done without approval by Gotti, and as you or another here said, Favara went to a mobster he worked for instead of getting police protection, which h he turned down, and was told to get a gun and strike first.
He apparently was not the civilian he has been portrayed to be.
