so we are going be to the mob hit theory ?
how much do you guys believe that possible ??

Read that Cali’s family refused to hand over cctv? And the kid is claiming Cali had a gun on him and he shot Cali in self defence?

Could it be Cali came out armed, kid shot him. And his family removed his gun hence the reason they don’t want to hand over cctv it true

I'm still having a hard time believing that this kid would do something like this randomly on his own. There are other ways to deal with stuff like this. If he did act on his own, then he must have severe depression and is on some sort of medication, because no sane person goes from having a clean record and an honest job to killing one of the major bosses of one of the big families, that's insanity. It would make more sense if he was doing this as a favor for someone to move up the ranks or something, but on his own? Still not buying it.

The Gottis apologizing to the family of the guy who accidentally ran over John's son would be good enough for me.

This wasn't an OC hit.

None of the other NYC families would have done this. And the Gambinos are stable and making money, so highly unlikely it was internal.

As for Canada, Cali had good contacts in Toronto and Montreal and Canadian mobsters don't like messing around in the USA because of potential jail time. Cali has travelled to Canada many times. If they wanted to hit him, they would have lured him to Canada.

Regarding the drug seizure, the Latin Americans only give drugs "on credit" to Calabrians, so any drug shipment Cali would be involved with was paid in cash in advance. If he was "guaranteeing" passage for someone else's drugs, and the drugs were seized, he wouldn't have been hit a few days later. He would have been given time to pay or make a deal.

And in Sicily, Cali was respected and things are calm. The Mafia in Sicily is making money again and things are relatively peaceful. Plus, if they were going to do a hit, it would be much more professional than this.

As I said in earlier posts, I am still shocked Cali didn't have better protection. He was the boss of a pretty large organization. It's very sloppy not to have the proper security.

And if the Gambinos are proper OC, the shooter should be dead by the end of the month. If Vito Rizzuto was shot by some 24 year old nobody, and that nobody was caught, the nobody would be dead within a week. If the gov't put them in PC, it would just take longer, but they would be nothing but a zombie, a dead man walking.

When the boss of a crime family is murdered, there must be retribution. Otherwise ppl you deal with - especially outside the USA - and local upstarts (especially ethnic gangs who are pretty hungry and ruthless) will lose respect for you. Fear, violence, murder are an integral part of OC.

If they don't avenge the murder of a boss because they're scared of jail sentences and LE, their business will be in trouble. Other groups - who are willing to use violence - will encroach on their business.

And you don't have to use high ranking members of your organization to to hits. Look at what's happening in Canada. Many suspected shooters show up on surveillance as being black. If they're caught, they don't even know who originally ordered the hit. The contracts are "layered" so the original person who ordered the hit is insulated.

If my father told his 21 year old niece who she can and can't date, she would burst out laughing.
