Exactly. Perhaps a smarter boss would have taken these older guys out for dinner and a night on a town and made a big to do about them getting out of the can, while still making it very clear that he was running things and would brook no challenges.
And smarter mob guys would have come to terms with the fact that the power structure had changed while they were away.
"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 Jungle—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.
