So there were how many attempts prior to the murder? Either he didn't get the message or he really pissed someone off. Did they say of he was packing at the time of the murder? At the end of the day, no innocent bystanders were killed, it was just anOther criminal who was taken down. Why have the government spend all their resources bringing these guys down when they kill themselves off? For instance, if they had enough to put him away for life without parole, we're still footing the bill for him to be in prison and someone else would take over his racket. Why waste the money? They will never rid the U.S.of lcn. And now you have the Gambino's bringing the zips into the picture. Those fuckers don't rat.
