I always wondered if he really wanted to kill Gotti. If he did, why did he fail?...I don't believe that the guy who blew Decicco up, mistaked another guy for Gotti....Who resembled John?
If anyone wanted Gotti dead, all you had to do was rent an apartment near The Ravenite, then, hire a sniper any day of the week. Case closed!
No One is unwhackable. If Anastasia could be whacked, then anyone can be.
It's not just about killing Gotti but about not letting the Gambinos know the Genovese were behind it. That's why they used a car bomb... they wanted the Gambinos at the top to think the Zips did it, not the Genovese.
And it's harder to setup that way, because they were likely trying to avoid an all out war if the Gambinos found out the Genevese were behind it. Because there's no way the Gambinos wouldn't retaliate.
