Should a tried the veal...

They should of stuck with him didn't end to well for all involved made the family alot weaker and if you betray your boss who wont you backstab. Done his time loyal to his mob family could rastelli have been his under boss? Would other bosses deal with him ? Read somewhere killed for not sharing the pie what did any of the other families do for bonanno.

I read somewhere that Bruno Indelicato pulled the trigger, is it true?

Some of the thinking was he came out of prison pissed off, feeling the family had been taken advantage of after Bonanno was kicked out, and wanted exclusive control of the heroin trade.

The boss gets whacked. The fucking boss. You never hear from the boss until he gets whacked and then your whole life gets turned around.

That does lead into a pet peeve of mine where everything Pistone said was taken as gospel back in the day. We all know now that Pistone's take on Galante was not entirely accurate. It's just what he heard. What you hear doesn't actually make it a fact. Goes along with his other claims that everything Lefty told him ended up being true. Except Lefty told him that Milwaukee ran Detroit. Lefty told him a lot of shit that was not accurate. Meh, that's my rant for the day.

He was picked up on surveillance after the shooting being shaken and congratulated by dellacroce at the ravenite and also possibly had a handgun on him in the photo as well

Not sure I understand the question. Less damaging than Rastelli? Less damaging than what happened with Massino years later?

I'm not one to usually guess about hypotheticals but it seems Galante wasn't really liked by many outside his inner circle. That alone could have made his time as actual boss a tumultuous one.

I thought that Russell Mauro was actually the one who blasted Carmine.

If you look at the left side of Carmine’s face , to me it looks as if he was hit by someone on his left as you can count the holes in his face. Additional shot gun wounds to his chest .

I dont want to say inaccurate info, and others can chime in, but wasnt Galante at least the Acting Boss? Just off of memory, didn't he attend Commision meeting or meetings. Also made a few guys including Massino. I know Vitale said he was just a Capo. Who then was Acting Boss? I know this Galante issue has been a very fine line.
