I hear what you are saying from a logical and a business perspective.
Look at Depietro, Deligatti, Meldish, Pizzulo
None of those hits or attempted hits really made any sense at all.
There are guys out there that will take a shot and there are seasoned leaders like Stevie Wonder that will still order a senseless murder.
Did they have to kill Meldish, they couldn't have just sent him to the hospital a few times and run him out of town?
Every time my guys hear you are in town you are talking a trip to the hosiptial??
My point is could you ever really 100% count it out?
