^ keep in mind these factors:
- most of guys up there are of Nola-Avellino-Benevento peasant stock, straight out of the armpit of Campania. They make the Gottis look like the Royal Family;
- Springfield is a small community and, whether we agree or not, they do have pull still, despite the mess since Bruno’s death;
- the Greek guy doing life that killed Whitey must have made them earn some street cred. Crazy to think about but that’s how that world is.
- Lastly, I don’t doubt that they have more guys than what we may be led to believe.
