No disrespect meant to Laurentian , but the part about a captain meeting with the reporter and a photographer sounds off. The part where a muscular guy in a bulletproof vest talks in front of the writer about money and a beating is too much to me.

Article says Comello thoughts Cali was part of a Deep State plot to overthrow Trump and he showed up to Cali’s house that day to make a citizens arrest.

It may be as I’m attempting access from Canada. I have almost never viewed direct NYT articles, esp the last month.

If possible could you kindly post?

As his pickup truck roared toward the Todt Hill section of Staten Island, Anthony Comello had no intention of killing a mob boss.

He wanted only to arrest him, his lawyer said in new court documents.

The details of what happened next are well known. Mr. Comello, 24, arrived at the home of Francesco (Franky Boy) Cali, a leader in the Gambino crime family, and lured him outside. The men spoke briefly. Then prosecutors say Mr. Comello pulled a gun from his car and shot Mr. Cali, leaving him to die in the street.

Mr. Comello, an aimless young man who lived with his parents on Staten Island, was arrested three days later and charged with murder.

But court documents filed on Friday offered a glimpse into the deeply troubled mind of Mr. Comello, who his defense lawyer says was so deluded by internet conspiracy theories that he was determined to conduct a citizen’s arrest of Mr. Cali and turn the Mafia leader over to the military.

“He ardently believed that Francesco Cali, a boss in the Gambino crime family, was a prominent member of the deep state, and, accordingly, an appropriate target for a citizen’s arrest,” wrote Mr. Comello’s lawyer, Robert C. Gottlieb.

At times, the circumstances of Mr. Cali’s demise have seemed so outlandish that they appeared specially designed for these viral times. But a clearer picture is emerging of how the tale’s incongruous pieces — a mob boss, a drifter from Staten Island and a far-right conspiracy theory — may fit together.

Mr. Cali’s murder was the highest-profile mob killing in decades, an event so significant that in the days between Mr. Cali’s death and Mr. Comello’s arrest, speculation surged that a new war was brewing among New York’s five Mafia families.

The reality, according to his lawyer, appears to be even more bizarre: Mr. Comello had become convinced that Mr. Cali was part of the so-called deep state, a cabal of criminals that conspiracy theorists claim controls the United States government. Mr. Comello also believed he was a chosen vigilante of President Trump.

“Mr. Comello became certain that he was enjoying the protection of President Trump himself, and that he had the president’s full support,” Mr. Gottlieb wrote.

That delusion will be part of a package of evidence that Mr. Gottlieb says he plans to submit to the court that prove Mr. Comello is not guilty by reason of mental defect. Mr. Gottlieb is seeking to have the court place Mr. Comello in psychiatric treatment, rather than prosecute him on murder charges. Mr. Comello is being held in protective custody as he awaits trial.

Prosecutors in the Staten Island district attorney’s office declined to comment.

Mr. Comello took handcuffs with him to Todt Hill on March 13, Mr. Gottlieb said, but his plan was foiled when Mr. Cali refused to submit to a citizen’s arrest. Instead, Mr. Gottlieb said, the Gambino leader reached toward his waistband. Fearing for his life, Mr. Comello shot Mr. Cali 10 times and fled, Mr. Gottlieb said.

QAnon, a baseless conspiracy theory that originated on internet message boards, played a key role in Mr. Comello’s descent into mental instability, his lawyer said. It claims, among other things, that America is controlled by a “deep state,” that prominent Democratic politicians are pedophiles and that John F. Kennedy Jr., who died in a 1999 plane crash, is secretly alive and will run for president in 2020.

At Mr. Comello’s first court appearance in March, he displayed symbols and phrases associated with QAnon scrawled on his hand in pen. He first began to take an interest in political conspiracy theories, Mr. Gottlieb said, in the weeks after Mr. Trump’s 2016 election.

“Mr. Comello’s support for ‘QAnon’ went beyond mere participation in a radical political organization,” Mr. Gottlieb wrote. “It evolved into a delusional obsession.”

Driven by that obsession, Mr. Gottlieb said, Mr. Comello began early this year to attempt citizen’s arrests of people he believed to be associated with the deep state. In February, Mr. Comello twice tried to conduct his own arrest of Mayor Bill de Blasio, including one instance in which he showed up at Gracie Mansion, the mayoral home in Manhattan.

Not long after that incident, Mr. Comello sought the help of United States marshals at Federal District Court in Manhattan, and asked that they help him to arrest two California Democrats, Representatives Maxine Waters and Adam Schiff, both of whom he believed were in the vicinity. He was rebuffed.

Both incidents were confirmed by law enforcement officials.

He was also posting and sharing conspiracy theories online that are associated with the far-right, and was engaging with other QAnon believers on the internet, according to social media accounts linked to Mr. Comello from around the same time.

Mr. Gottlieb identified one of Mr. Comello’s accounts, RealAmericasVoice_ on Instagram, in his filing. The page has dozens of memes and written screeds, some that are difficult to decipher, including several posted days before Mr. Cali’s death.

One post accuses Speaker Nancy Pelosi, Democrat of California, of being a fascist. “Patriot sleeper cells are awake,” he wrote in another. Yet another refers to Bill and Hillary Clinton as “The Clinton Crime Family.”

How Mr. Comello came to associate Mr. Cali or the Gambino crime family with such theories remains unclear. Typically, the conspiracy group targets Democratic political figures, not the Mafia.

But Mr. Gottlieb said he believed Mr. Comello had encountered posts online that suggested Mafia figures like Mr. Cali were also connected to the deep state.

Mr. Gottlieb said on Saturday that he was sifting through “thousands and thousands” of messages, posts and forums that he said Mr. Comello might have engaged with.

The defense lawyer is also asking a judge to order prosecutors to provide details about anything found in Mr. Cali’s home or car when they were searched after the shooting, including whether any weapons were found on or near Mr. Cali’s body.

So this has nothing to do with Cali's niece then? And, BTW, I don't think I've ever read anything so bizarre in my life. It's so weird, it almost seems like a ruse.

One of the impediments to believing that Lee Harvey Oswald acted alone in the JFK assasinatuon is that he was an absolute nobody. A loser. The idea that this “nobody” could take out the most powerful person in the world is almost too hard to comprehend. It barely makes sense. And while I still don’t think Oswald acted alone, this Comello-Cali story makes me give stuff like that a second thought.

Cali, from all accounts, was extremely careful and while not as powerful and famous as JFK, he was in a leadership role and wielded immense power and respect—in the US and abroad. And this Comello clown, according to his lawyer, thinks that Cali is part of a Deep State conspiracy to overthrow Donald Trump. I mean, what?!? And he shows up to his house and shoots him! And you got families in the US and Sicily going “holy shit what the hell is going on?”, and it turns out some looney tune with no LCN connection just took out a major player because he got sucked down a far right wing internet conspiracy hole. A Hollywood agent would laugh in your face if you tried to sell this story. But life is stranger than fiction sometimes.
