The family Luca Brasi ( One you get labeled as to go to killer, you will never move up. There are exceptions like Sammy Gravano, but look where he ended up)
Why is that? I've noticed that it's pretty true, but why wouldn't a stone killer make people step aside / not challenge out of fear? Do they usually lack the brains or have such a trigger that they are never trusted with the jobs that will really help you climb the tree?
In order to earn you have to be visible and accessible, and the last thing you want is a guy who whacked 20 people in his life to be a fixture on the street. The feds will overlook a thief, they will never give a killer a pass.
Like I said, there have been exceptions. Sammy Gravano made Underboos, and it is a little know fact that Peanuts Trenalone was a prolific killer in his youth, and he made it to Boss in Cleveland, but he sort of became boss by default
