Serpiente,maybe I didn't make myself clear.It is my opinion that Gotti,Decicco,Casso or anyone in the mob at that time would have been very hesitant and were more than aware that Demeo was not an easy man to kill and that taking a contract on him could and be dangerous.i don't think any of them were "scared".I also think that Gotti got to be the Boss of the Gambino's knowing and accepting that the way he achieved being Boss could start a war with Gigante.The rest is history,brother
