That's true, thanks for pointing out (I had this documentary for some time but still hadn't watched)! Really, I have no words....Assholes, those Westie "soldiers"...And I really thought they were about to behead 2 strongest Mafia families in the USA and just missed the chance. As it seems, far from "beheading" the mob, they probably wouldn't be able to stick their heads right under the guillotine if they were to be beheaded themselves (well, maybe the allegory is a little clumsy, but this is the only think I could think about).

The "Mobsters" episode "conveniently" omitted this detail as I remember.



Why do u keep saying they could have killed TWO of the biggest fam?

It was only Castellano (with I believe billotti and gaggi) that met up with them?

I'm not surprised at all that they wanted there cut from the websites. "Hells kitchen " was only about 10 blocks but it had some money in it.

What surprised me is that the Gen didn't get involved seeing how that is there territory generally.
