Not for the sake of simply being contrary, (but in my opinion, my gut, and in the gut of those who were in a position to know at the time), I strongly strongly disagree with the theory that Junior had anything at all to do with Joe's shooting. And for that matter, nor did Carlo Gambino or any other wiseguy or connected guy have a hand in his shooting. The mob was simply NOT involved at all, but was thrown out there to the gullible public and even to many other crime figures, who were not in the know, as a "red herring" so to speak!

And IMO, that is the bottomline truth to Colombo's Columbus Day shooting!
