if the bonanno's are involved in the canada (montreal/ontario) mafia war as it would seem to tell them

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.

if the rizzuto's are not under the bonanno's, who they belong to? siciliana mafia or what? i think massino and vitale said they were a bonanno crew at least until the late '90

They are a sicilian mob family. Nicolò Rizzuto started as a mobster in Cattolica Eraclea then went to Canada in the 1950s where Carmine Galante then the underboss was sent to Montreal to create a canadian crew.
In the sixth family book is write that after Joe Bonanno was forced to retire,the weakness of the family bosses let the Rizzutos (that in the 1978 killed Violi that was the calabrian boss in montreal) to be more and more independent.
Anyway the Rizzutos had ties with the bonannos due the drug trade but after Sciascia murder they cut this link.

See this is what I’m talking about. And it goes into the 80s as well. Once Pat Marcy was removed there wasn’t an Outfit murder in Chicago for 9-10 years. They had the ability to get away with murder because of the first ward. Philadelphia doesn’t even come close and neither does the Colombos. Like when people say the Colombos are the most murderous...Yeah, no Chicago was. Chicago at the time was probably around the same size as the Colombos but maybe with less made members and equal associates numbering equally.

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

Frank Balistrieri used a lot of car bombs so did KC and both were suspected in ordering lefty rosenthals bombing because they didnt like him

[Extortion]

So I think the conclusion is...

Chicago just overall
DeMeo/Westies/Gambinos 1970/early 80s
Montreal war
Philly 1980s

[Mustangsally]

Thanks for the lists. I didnt realize anybody had the list for
Chicago. I heard joey aiuppa loved approving hits according to frank cullota

I think it was in that same video that he claimed he was "made" in Vegas. I always thought he was an associate. Any truth to his claim?

[slimshady_007]

Most violent in the 90’s- Colombos and Philadelphia. Both families had inter- family wars in the early 90’s and also had trigger happy bosses.
Most violent in the 2000’s- Westside. Whacked 3 made guys from 2003-2007.

Its not true, Cullotta was never official made member of the Chi Outfit besides being one of Spilotros top lieutenants. Spilotro didnt have the authority to make Cullotta, mainly because Tony wasnt the boss and he wasnt even a capo at the time

That reminds me how in the 1970s the Rochester family set off some random bombs in the city to make the Feds think it was terrorism so that they would focus less on LCN.

It was a fuckin karma lol just kidding but Lefty himself used more then few bombs to convince people during the 60s. You see, Lefty came up under Dave Yaras and Lenny Patrick and so during the mid 60s Yaras took Lefty down to Miami with him. They constantly met each other to talk business at the Miami Beach Bayshore Country Club, which in fact was Dave’s headquarters. Lefty was Dave’s frontman and operator at the Multiple Sports News Service, which provided the “line” for bookmakers of sport events on national basis.

During June and July 1967, on the orders of Yaras, Lefty purchased explosives, detonators, guns and ammunition to be used against rival bookmakers. For example, Alfie Mart was a Miami bookmaker and his headquarters got blown up for resisting the services of Lefty’s company. Also the automobile of Irving “Mickey” Zion, another Miami bookmaker, was blown to pieces, followed by the cleaning shop of another Miami bookmaker Jack “Chappie” Rand which was also bombed and totally destroyed.
