Yes. It was done by a team of men...they were led by a guy named Indelicato. This is the guy my book was about, Pitera:Turd Murder wrote:And wasn't this the hit that the Iceman took credit for?

Yeah, when the police arrived on the scene the cigar was still lit and smoking...krudmonk wrote:smoked whilst smokingGhost Dad wrote:Let's not overlook the fact that Galante died with a cigar in his mouth. The guy corpsed out with class.

So Bright was just there as a witness...he didn't do anything, really. Reiter had a brother, however, who was in prison already and when Bright was later convicted of something unrelated to this and put in the same prison (really bad luck), Reiter the Elder went to the Aryan Brotherhood and paid them $5000 to kill him. He was cornered in the yard by two huge AB members who both had life sentences and they stabbed him to death right there with shivs.The shotgun sounded like a cannon, a thunderous roar. The double-O buck blew much of Reiter's face, neck and collarbone into oblivion. What was left of his face was a sorrowful sight. With what was left of his countenance, he looked at Michael Harrigan and said in a weak voice with blood bubbling from his mouth, most of his teeth missing, "I thought we were friends."
"If we were friends," Michael Harrigan said, "I wouldn't need him." As he said this he pointed to Pitera...
That's the problem with reading books about psychopaths/murderers...they lie about everything.Pisscubes wrote: I've read the Ice Man book twice and don't believe half the shit in it.
That murder came up in the book I was reading. When they later determined that Gotti had to be taken out they respected his #1 assassin, Lino, so much that they decided to kill him first just to get him out of the way. Lino often turned to Pitera for contracts, I'm thinking they would have killed Pitera also...he was lucky in going to jail at the time he did. Well, lucky in a very narrow sense...Pisscubes wrote:He says he was in on Paul Castellano's murder but Sammy the Bull never once mentions him as one of the guys in on it in his book.Bored, Esq. wrote:That's the problem with reading books about psychopaths/murderers...they lie about everything.Pisscubes wrote: I've read the Ice Man book twice and don't believe half the shit in it.
Yeah. There's a funny scene in The Sopranos when Carmela and her friends are doing a "100 greatest movies" project, watching all the classics, and the next movie on their list is The Godfather. They all look at each other like, "Do we really need to watch this one?"Pisscubes wrote: Speaking of taking out someone's fiercest enforcer before you take them out-- I always find it funny how much the mob guys ended up modeling after The Godfather. In so many books I read, the real life gangsters loved that movie so much they really took not just lessons from it (killing Luca Brasi before going after Don Corleon) but dress, speech patterns, etc.
Looks like he didn't even get through the salad.Bored, Esq. wrote:
The murder was done pretty brazenly. In broad daylight, in the middle of the day. The hit team drove up to the restaurant, got out of the car, walked through the building to the back, shot him, walked back, got in the car, drove off. Lots of people recognized them but no one was going to say anything to the police...Whiffleball Ace wrote: I wonder if he was like starving and ordered some big ass dish of rissotto and was just salivating as he thought about it while picking through some shitty salad.
