Dubro says the two were never involved in very "sophisticated crimes," and that they were "more feared than respected."
Pat was the more fearsome of the two, Debro says.
"He will, in time, be killed," he said. "There's no question about that."
I am surprised at how blunt & confident James Dubro is about Pat will get killed in time.
He was also very blunt about Rizzuto being killed soon after returning to Canada.
Unfortunately, he was merely repeating what Lee Lamothe was quoted as saying the day after Nick Rizzuto Sr. died: "[Vito Rizzuto] doesn't have any options. He's a dead man walking. He's a very smart man, he may pull something out of the hat, but there is no power left to gather around him." ("A symmetry of violence in the Montreal mob." By Les Perreaux. Montreal — The Globe and Mail. Published Thursday, Nov. 11, 2010 9:51PM EST.)
And as you and many others know, on more than one organized-crime forum I foolishly parroted what Lamothe and Dubro were saying.
We all make mistakes but even though Dubro may have just repeated Lamothe, he still chose to say it in every interview he gave.
"It was between the brothers Kay -- I had nothing to do with it."
