What I find the Colombos to be clowns and hypocrites. Junior Persico is keeping the throne of the Colombo borgata for his own family. This isn't a monarchy. I can't believe the Colombo soldiers would comstantly eat **** from Carmine barking orders from California. This thing doesn't pass from father to son, it should be the best man for the job.

Could you imagine if Carlo Gambino on his deathbed instead of the original mistake he made, what if he made his son Thomas the new boss? $ wise it isn't comparable, Tommy Gambino made Little Allie Boy look like a corner store hustler. But don Carlo realized at least somewhat that you can't let nepotism go fully to your head.

But my whole point was that ok, let's say the Persicos want to treat their borgata like a monarchy. Well what about Sally Profaci? The son of the founder. He was backing Vic Orena on the wire tap. He wasn't backing himself because his father was Joe Profaci and that since his father was boss that now he should be. What I don't understand is how did Persico win the war? Was it all due to Scarpa and DelVechio? Selwyn Raab made it seem that out of the 125 Colombo button me, 4/5ths were pro Orena. And the other 1/5th backing Persico were literally just his blood relatives. How did he maintain control?
