Damn. They really wanted him gone.

Something is now definitely going on with the Bonannos. Crazy shit

yaeh they ripped off the wrong drug dealers i'd bet my last dollar this isnt lcn stuff. hes old thou to be hit maybe they couldnt kill his son so they did the next best thing. bronx is were all the cocaine and herion stops before its distruted before all the northeast. bet him and the kid were surposed to launder a million cash and got sticky fingers or something like that. and of course i know i will be wrong. go pats

ripped off drug dealers in a condo building deal didnt we read the father n son are constrution outfit

I guess I'll ask what any concerned, law abiding citizen should ask at this point. How will this affect the price of weed?

oak that your funny line. makes me laugh everytime. but this father son dou robbed the wrong connects from the little still picture i seen of a lite skin black guy wearing the jogger tight pants young kids were in the northeast i believe probaly wrong it was domicans. looks like the son i buy my coke from son. oak weeds gonna be open to the public like going to a liquor store in a week the price is plummeting in massachuseets. sorry bout the spelling

just wanted that big mac sauce. this is a crazy story tou. they were very close to vinny gorgeous who was a huge herion guy but might have stoped when he got bumped up in the family

or we can say it was rizzuto from the grave probaly set george from canada up. internet speculation running rumors.

I just read the article. What is it with him and his son having attempts on their lives every few months? I know the mob isn't what it used to be but these two seem like they were just left flapping in the wind. Does anyone have their back? Do the Bonannos have the power to fend off drug gangs who are after one of their own? Mob life in the 21st century?

Yeah...and getting whacked at a McDonald's drive thru. Were there no tables at Spark's Steak House? I suppose it doesn't matter. They all go to the morgue. But not exactly a desirable way for a gangster to go.

Anyone speculation on the hit?

thats what i also mean oak fucking whacked at mcdonalds drive threw i guess it could throw of the smell

I agree, LCN has for the most part tried to avoid this type of public hit. It's the 3rd attempt on him according to a news report I just heard on the radio. It could be very low level wannabe associates or more likley a personal dispute from outside LCN

so if it's someone out of the lcn
then maybe we'll see the bonnano's retaliation ?

We have no evidence of whose responsible for this hit or the attempt on his son. It's all speculation at this point.

Apparently the Zottola's fucked over some people bad enough for them to already botch two hits and still come back for the third time. Even if it's drug gangs, blatant public violence is bad for business. Today's gangs know this as well as the mob. There had to be someone killed - like there was no other option.
And if they're not the ones behind the hit, the Bonanno's don't seem to do anything to prevent this either. Maybe they feel it ain't worth it or they just don't care.

Not to say this means the Bonanno's don't have anything to do with it. Vinny was close with some Dominicans, right? And people from his entourage had contacts with members from Hispanic and black gangs as well. I think I remember pizza telling something like this.
Who knows what happened...

Sally daz Zottola was in poker machines like his dad or had other rackets? And if tried to whack him why Sylvester Zottola doesn't had bodyguard?

So with him in the car were a woman and baby?

Murder at the Drive-Thru: Bonanno family mobster shot in the head while getting coffee at McDonald’s http://gangstersinc.ning.com/profil...-bonanno-family-mobster-shot-in-the-head

Where'd you read he was with a woman and baby?

In the NY Times article, according to a witness.

Oh, thanks. Puts to shit my theory that he had just met with someone he trusted. I just feel someone knew he was in that area, possibly after meeting with him, or prior. I just think it would be awfully tough to tail a guy from Throgs Neck to West Bronx on a Thursday during rush hour without losing him or being noticed. But I wouldn't think he would have met with someone with a baby in his car, either. So who knows.

Before this he was shaping up to be the real Teflon Don.

If he was shot by non-LCN people and it wasn't LCN related then wouldn't that mean he was operating independently of the Bonanno's?

Otherwise it has to have been LCN related in someway.

This is the era where black people and Latinos feature in LCN charts and the mob has had no choice but broaden their scope in terms of the way they do business and who they do business with. Sure look at Philly. They're little more than a glorified street gang now. Bonanno's probably aren't much better.

It was pretty shitty of the son not to cooperate in order to protect his father and family. Imagine if the woman and baby in the SUV had died with him at McDonalds?

Some things are more important than money.

I wouldn´t be suprised if he was made.

That report states that the shooter was a black man so this might not be LCN related.

Unless they used some hood to do it for them.

The hit was a few blocks south of Arthur Ave and Crescent, the entrace to bronx little Italy. FWIW

They’re going to have this entire hit on surveillance cameras. A McDonalds in that section of the Bronx is going to have surveillance cameras everywhere!

hate to be morbid(YEH) need this video pronto
