Ivy, love your posts. This article, as well as the "How do wiseguys fair on the STREETS" has me wondering how at risk a mafiosi's life really is. I believe it was you or PB that said when a made guy is killed, it's front page news, which I do believe. And for that reason they probably don't clip a lot of guys and bring on the unnecessary heat. I remember hearing Joe Pistone saying he needed all these body guards and is watching over his back etc etc... But I don't think he does... However, I do believe he might actually believe he has to. Like all the old mob rats probably are scared for their life. But maybe the idea of it happening to them, rather than the actual chances of it happening to them that scares them into paranoia. Thoughts?
