    Historically, Carmine always said that the Gambinos were nothing more than a glorified crew.

    La Cosa Nostra was decimated in the 80s and 90s by electronic surveillance, RICO prosecutions and rats. What's left now is a pale imitation.

    We could do with mandatory 30 year stretches over here, the gangs would collapse overnight.

    If Eugene Gotti was behind the killing then i'd say his release from prison will be a short one. Whacking a boss will either bring more bloodshed or someone is going to be whacked from the Gotti side. Then again, for something like this to happen i'd imagine there must have been a reason for his killing, like maybe Frank was informing on other mobsters and the order to kill him was green lit. Interesting story.

    The other 4 families of New York, the Lucchese, Colombo, Bonnano, Genovese are refusing to acknowledge Eugene Gotti as Boss of the Gambino Family.

    This proves that the hit on Cali was unsanctioned.


    What they'll do is remove the problem crew.


    Gene Gotti is a dead man walking.


    For his sake I hope the Feds get him first . Put this old man away for good.

    In New York ist certainly is, all 5 families are still active, plus the DevCavalcante's from New Jersey.





    The Nationwide Commission is a thing of the past,.only NY, Philly, Boston, Chicago and Detroit remain active.

    Biggest Boss in America at the moment would be Liborio 'Barney' Bellemo.

    Genovese Boss.


    The Gambinos are split down the middle, the Sicilian faction controlled the family through Cali. The Americans don't like the zips.


    Hence why the Gottis have made a fatal move imo..

    It wasn't gene, it was a 2.bit junkie who cali refused to allow date his niece.

    Unbelievable the boss of the gambino family taken out like that.

    As for gene, he never ever struck me from everything I've read as a boss type of guy

    No way Frankie Cali was taken out by a junkie, what type of retard would kill the boss of NY's second biggest crime family?

    The latest reports on the wire is that the other 4 fams are going to dismantle the Howard Beach crew and install a new boss from the zips.

    Aint no respect or honour on the streets anymore.


    Is it any wonder why blacks and Mexicans are taking the areas.


    It's a solid disgrace is what it is.

    Just rear 4 pages of poorly referenced soap quotes about some criminal getting killed. With adoration and admiration like that it's no wonder they get so much respect instead of scorn and derision.. All their graves are dug the same depth.

    Does that mean he is now an ex-person.

    Brazil received a large number of Italians, mostly from Veneto and surrounding areas. They industialized the country that till they arrival had nothing. USA instead was already rich and attracted only southerners escaping the fight against "brigantaggio" that the new Italian state was doing againt the south.

    Case is closed now. He was killed by a mentally ill 24 yr old man Anthony Comello who is in a Sanatorium now.



    Comello is marked for death but it's very unlikely that he's ever going to be walking the streets of NY again. Lorenzo Mannino became the new boss of the Gambinos.
