Gambino Family Boss WHACKED last night...
Neighbors on Staten Island recalled on Thursday hearing the terrifying spray of gunfire that took down Gambino crime boss Francesco “Franky Boy” Cali.
The reputed mobster, 53, was shot dead just outside his Todt Hill mansion around 9:20 p.m. Wednesday — as his wife and young children were inside. “About 9 last night, we were watching TV and we heard, ‘Pop! Pop! Pop!’ I thought it was fireworks,” said Fred Guinta, who lives directly behind Cali’s home in the quiet, upscale neighborhood. “My wife said, ‘Those are gunshots!’ It was six or eight shots.” The gunman ran over the bleeding Cali — who was still alive — with his blue pickup truck before fleeing, sources said. Another neighbor who didn’t want to be named also heard the shots. “Then I looked out and saw a blue pickup zoom past my house and fly off the block,” he said. “I looked back and saw a guy and woman screaming. I ran back inside.” Meanwhile, a nurse at Staten Island University Hospital North said he was working in the trauma unit when Cali came in, clinging to life. “He came in alive, a level-one trauma case,” said the male nurse, who stopped by the scene of the murder Thursday morning. “Then he was listed as ‘code infusion,’ which means we were giving him massive infusions because of the extreme blood loss. He was pronounced just after.” https://nypost.com/2019/03/14/neighb...ss-frank-cali/ |

I wonder if this is the start of a turf war. It might just be someone wanting to move up the ranks, but that's pretty risky.
I dated (unknowingly since she had an Anglo last name) a great-niece of a well-connected guy in my high school days. Fortunately for me, we didn't have much in common except our mutual love of sex, so when we parted ways it was pretty much "thanks for the good times". But I sure would have hated to be the guy that didn't treat her right. As someone mentioned earlier, the vast majority of those guys aren't ones you invite to dinner. |

Why did the chicken cross the road?
Nobody knows, nobody seen him cross the road, and it's nobody's busy why he crossed the road, if in fact he actually did cross the road.

I kind of went down the Wiki rabbit hole last night before bed. Apparently there is some bad blood between a family that the Gambino's took in from Palermo, Sicily and the current family that currently runs the show in the Old World. Some kind of fall out involving narcotics and racketeering stuff. Not sure how accurate I am with that, I was just about to fall asleep when I was perusing it.
I'm thinking power struggle tho. |

Could have been worse. At least he didn't have a pool cue rammed up his ass.

John Gotti Jr. is the smart one. He got out of the family business. Did his time. Wasn't a rat. Beat a few murder charges and kept his millions.
