Even back then for every 10 members only probably 2 or 3 were stone killers. Gigante was capable and willing, just was sloppily executed. Surely he had killed before to be given that assignment. There are a lot of botched hits in the grand scheme of things so him getting a pass isn't shocking, especially once Costello retired.

Its not the easiest thing in the world to pull the trigger. That's why those that can kill and then go home and kiss their kids goodnight and never discuss it again are most feared and respected.

Probably common knowledge but interesting nonetheless, this is what Harold Konigsberg said to the feds about the Costello hit:

"Konigsberg said that Tommy Ryan was in on the "hit" on FRANK COSTELLO, along with DOM THE SAILOR, but the both of them fled the scene and left "CHIN" GIGANTE in the lurch"

In the same file, Konigsberg also says Tony Bender was whacked by Eboli and DeQuarto.

I wonder if Chin during his tenures as Captain and Boss ordered anyone killed for a botched job themselves? trying to recall all of the known murders during his boss tenure but nothing like that is ringing a bell, although it doesn't seem far fetched. ironic, but not far fetched. anyone know?

A real killer also immediately goes and gets something to eat after the deed is done before returning home to their families. You can tell they got nerves of steal, or just like someone who lacks a killer’s instinct they would vomit the moment they have fled the scene.
