Yeah, I know. He aimed for the head for crying out loud. Definitely tried to kill him. I suppose someone can be a horrible shot and still have the wit to go as far as he did.
The Gigante family had connections to Vito, and as we recently discussed in another thread, likely to Sandino Pandolfo too. I suspect he could've been a complete moron and still get a button. Genovese's whole inner circle loved the Gigante brothers. You can even say that Mario was more reckless than Chin in their early years. From his rap sheet, Chin doesn't look like he had much wit until the 1970s when he started the crazy act.

We can never be 100% sure, but there are no indications he missed on purpose. The whole Genovese faction was in shambles after Gigante's fuck up. They were gearing up for an all out war with Costello. Vito had 30 armed bodyguards show at his house. Catena was walking around with a dozen men with shotguns and trench coats like it was the 1920s.
What's with all the new faces?

We'll need them now.
