It was Pappa. Gravano wasn't involved

Can an associate order hits on other connected associate's .Does he need permission? I wonder if Jimmy Burke needed permission to kill his whole Lufthansa crew and for other hits he ordered.
He seemed to carry a lot of weight for a non-
made guy.

I think even made guys need permission to kill associates. I know that Genovese soldier Phil Buono asked permission to kill associate Nat Maselli. And, while they weren't associates, Gravano went to Castellano for permission to kill the bikers who tried to shake him down.

JImmy probably cleared the post-Lufthansa killing spree with Paul Vario and I'm sure he kicked up part of the extra 500 grand he got to keep every time he killed a robber participant to Paulie.

Why do guns jam so often in mob hits? Seems like this happens in every other hit. I guess because they're total amateurs who don't really know how to handle guns properly? Was idly wondering about this. Keep reading accounts of mob hits where "his gunned jammed" and I'm like "of course it did, it was a mob hit"

I've heard that they use old guns that they can throw away after they're done.

Maybe, but it's hard to be done in the first place if the shitty gun fucking jams!

It would be a good idea to only use revolvers, but the gun laws in New York are very strict, so they have to take what they can get, I guess.

Don't think criminals are worried about gun laws

Has Barney Bellomo ever killed someone or is there information that he’s been involved in at least one?

Someone from the Colombo family was engaged in car theft on a regular basis in the 80s and 90s ? I heard about Chikki DeMartino allegedly controlling the hijackings and there was an argument with another mafia boss about it.

If I remember correctly, the only murder he's actually been charged with is Ralph Coppola. However, considering how long he's been in the family leadership (over 30 years), he's likely approved several.

Amazing how he hasn’t been charged for the others, I always wondered what did he do during his early 20s, probably check cashing scams loansharking & gambling.

Scratch that, he was also charged with the Ralph DeSimone and Hickey DiLorenzo murders in 1996.

I don't know about his 20s but of course he was involved in control of the Javits Center through the Carpenters Union. He was also charged with conspiracy to control ILA Local 1804-1 and rigging contracts for kickbacks.

Ok so he’s into white collar crimes, & those two are were the murders where they even used a lie detector to try to get him
