Spilotro was killed because he gave the greenlight to kill people That weren't okayed by Aiuppa & they were also selling coke & heroin out There, as well as doing a bunch of other shit tax free & getting away with. Not to mention getting arrested right & left by local law out there.
So he killed people and sold dope, but he was a nice guy because he made his son heart healthy pancakes and went to little league games? (Okay, the pancakes and little league are from the movie
).
Look, I firmly believe in the duality of man, and it applies to a lot of wiseguys in an almost disproportionate way. I've known a few of them who were genuinely benevolent given the right circumstances.
But when you live by the sword, it's quite possible that you'll die by the sword. And it seems to me that Spilotro ended up exactly where he belongs.
