On the tahoe shooters, on the big screen you can see a slit on the one shooter " facing" the camera. Its as soon as rocco says " its looks like they were hired out of new york", they cut to the ditch. If you are watching it on tv , you have to freeze it right there. Ive seen it locally in the movies here the last couple of years and you can clearly see it.
As has been said in prior posts, freddie dropped the gun when vito was shot by 2 guys with revolvers, what chance does he have with 2 guys with fully automatic weapons ( most likely thompsons ) ??? He wouldnt.

Getting back to my question, why couldnt feddie have been whacked and the money taken and place the blame on guerrilla activity? $2,000,000 is about $18,000,000 today. That would have bought alot back then.
