In reference to what you said about the Pops hit
Correct me if I am wrong didn't the guy that was responsible for the hit just get buried?
And his brothers house get shot up?

Almost to the day Pops was whacked?

Didn't the Rizzutto's dad get whacked the same way one of the Violo's got whacked?

I am not suggesting anything is connected here
I am saying it looks like the guys who took out the old guard from Buffalo LCN recently had some bad luck, maybe someone put a hex on them?

If I wanted to send a message that something was pay back, I couldn't think of a much better way.

I am not suggesting the family is a full blown LCN family with a full viable structure However, they appear to be a little more than just a couple of leftovers selling buckle bags of weed.
