There's a lot of made guys that never cracked an egg. It's all about being an earner. Yes, there are shooters but its the money that the mobster want, it's the money that they crave. Hollywood created that myth that you have to kill someone to get straightened out. Nonsense. There are some shooters they call on to kill and beat people up but leaving bodies on the street is bad for business specially in todays Cosa Nostra.
Slightly off topic, but in Boston/New England, I don't think that there's been a sanctioned mob hit since Carmen DiNunzio became boss or acting boss going back to the early 2000's.
