The LCN sometimes does hits in a way to send a message to others. For example:
-Members of Vincent Gigante's crew brutally tortured Anthony "Tony Bananas" Caponigro before beating him to death. They then stuffed $300 in his rear to show that he had become too greedy by killing his boss (Angelo Bruno). -Sonny Black Napolitano's hands were chopped off because he shook hands with Donnie Brasco, who in actuality was Joe Pistone, an undercover FBI agent (albeit unknowingly). Napolitano introduced him as a "friend of ours" when Brasco was not a made guy.
Are there any other prominent cases of using metaphors in murders committed by the LCN?

Salvie Testa shoving firecrackers in Rocco Marrinuci's mouth after killing him & him being found on the 1 yr. anniversary of testa's father's death. Rocco was the 1 who designed the bomb that killed Salvie's father Phil Testa.
In the 1990 murder of Lucchese crime family soldier Bruno Facciolo, a dead canary was stuffed into his mouth This signifies that the Mafia thought he was an informer, as said by Eppolito and Caracappa. He had also been stabbed and shot in both eyes.
