It's kill or be killed. Not saying they are saints, just that it's their way of life. If you're clever and crafty you can take out guys before they take you out. If you make a wrong decision and get set up, you go bye-bye. That's how you live every single day; you don't have a 9 to 5, you party like crazy, have mistresses galore, gamble a shitload at the track, but you could go for a ride with your best friend and get 2 in the back of the head. It's different from a murderer of innocent people.


I'm sorry but that's bullshit.

I could come up with a list of 50 innocent people killed by the mob off the top of my head beginning with Robert Kubecka and Donald Barstow whose murders were approved by the Lucchese admin.

That's not to mention the livelihoods ruined, pensions stolen from, taxes passed on to working people from their crimes etc, etc.


I was talking about any innocent people Merlino has killed. Merlino was the topic. If you can name any innocents murdered in cold blood by Merlino please present your argument. Don't throw other mob cases into the argument.

And taxes? Don't bring up taxes, the govt has taxed us a thousand times more for welfare support and food stamps for lazy people than the mob ever dreamed of.
