over 100 car bombs in the Youngstown area in the early 60's. How many other families used the "Youngstown Tune Up" killing style around the country? I know DeCicco was killed in NYC by way of the bomb but I don't believe that is was a normal way of killing. Bombings were still happening into the late 1970's in the Cleveland/Youngstown area

Leonardo Rizzuto along with Salvatore Cazzetta for the Hell Angels plus the sons of the people that was whacked or that exist from prison in the last years, re-builted the familychat wasnt that was before vito extradition but at least was strong enought to start a war in Ontario and start killing the ndrangheta members.

I think that the 1976 Jay Vandermark hit is missing from the list and so that makes it 95 hits

No,the Rizzuto was de facto independent from the 1970s and definitly after Sciaccia murder.If they would be part of Bonannos,Sal Montagna would be appointed as Montreal capo after Rizzuto deportation.
