Frank Cali shot dead

[Camo]

I'd believe it was Carmine Persico's dying wish before i'd believe it was Barney.

[Niagarafalls]

I’d think Barney would run if he saw a Gotti coming to talk to him. Why would he need the headache?

[JohnnyS]

Barney cutting a deal with a Gotti? Seems unlikely when you look at the history between those groups. Barney learned the ways from chin he knows very well that the Gotti's are one big headache. Doubt he gets involved in Gambino matters and approves a Gotti to wack a high ranking member in the street so he could take over. You would imagine he prefers dealing with the quiet Sicilians and doesnt like the extra hassle from LE.

This is the first I’ve heard about them looking into reports of another car pulling away.

“We have executed a warrant at that residence. We have obtained video surveillance from that scene. We’re piecing together witness canvasses, extended video canvasses. There is reports of a car pulling away. That is accurate. Again, it’s a little preliminary to say that car is definitively tied to anything or that that’s the only car or that there weren’t additional people on foot. So this is a very early stage of this investigation and we have a lot of work to do,” Shea said.

Just thought of a theory- Barney makes a deal with gene gotti. Asks him to whack frank cali since barney views him as a threat. In return, Barney says he’ll promote gene to an administration role in the Gambinos. Crazy theory, but anything is possible

Highly unlikely. Bellomo would be painting an even bigger target on his back if he okay-ed it.

If anyone cares about what George Anastasia has to say. Haven't seen much else new. Hopefully the NY Police update brings more to light.

U never know with lcn. Remember when the westside wanted to whack philly’s entire hierarchy? Nobody expected them to be planning that.

[Niagarafalls]

The car pulling away was Gene watching the hit go down like his brother did! Haha

[slimshady_007]

Maybe this is a bruno situation. The westside ok’s a bosses murder, and then whacks the killers. All as a way to eliminate possible competition. Just a theory.

[Camo]

Think this thread has jumped the shark lol. Hopefully we get more info soon.

Interesting.

Mikey scars and Alite mentioned that if it was a typical mob hit that most likely there was more than one vehicle involved.

The other car could’ve been a crash car or a backup shooter or maybe a lookout guy.

Gambinos are not a glorified street operation though. Why risk it for a dinosaur like Gene? Someone mentioned earlier how the conspirators are probably sweating bullets right now. This made international headlines.

[Uncle Pete]

I understand Gene has restrictions since his release but Gene is a gangster and if (a big if) he did organize this hit, it could be as simple as he doesn't give a fuck and cares more about his legacy than he does about getting arrested in two years and dying in the can. He's a stone cold gangster and street guy, not necessarily a guy who will make a cost/benefit analysis plan.

Yes, the guy did 30 years. But as I've stated in another thread, he wasn't stuck in an elevator for 30 years. He was in federal prison and as a result he has 30 years of networking with mob guys, connected guys, and wanna be's in the joint. He has to have a ton of support now that he is back on the street.

Also, to those that are saying why would he do this when he saw what happened to his brother John? Think about another angle to this question. His brother John became a fucking legend! Everyone knows who John Gotti is and his reputation on the street /jails and shit even in the hood/rap community, is as good as gold. It does not get any better. It's not illogical to think that that Gene cares more about his legacy as a tough guy and taking back what he thinks belongs to him than he gives a fuck about dying in the can. Price of doing business for his reputation and legacy
