Oh, I agree 100 percent, Carm.
"The Godfather" films are often criticised for not being all together realistic, and I suppose that's a justified criticism. But the beginning of Part 2, where the Sicilian mob boss puts the contract on a 9 year old Vito, was right on the money. That shit goes on to this day. You needn't look any further than the Inzerillos as an example.
A guy like Totò Riina was capable of just about anything.
