I worked as a delivery boy for a Madison Ave, dress shop and walked right by there moments before it happened. I had a delivery to make to a famous person on the West Side. I didn't know anything about what was going on and I asked some Italians and they told me. As I walked past the crowd, I heard what sounded like firecrackers going off but kept on going because I thought that's what they were. I did not find out until I listened to the radio at night when I got back to the apartment I was living in. Nearly a year later I enlisted into the Marines and never heard anymore about it.

THE VOTING RIGHTS ACT IS DEAD THANKS TO THE OBAMA ADMINISTRATION AND JOHN LEWIS(MR VOTING RIGHTS). 10 YEARS AGO THE SUPREME COURT SAID THE STATISTICS HAD TO BE UPDATED FOR THE VOTING RIGHTS ACT TO BE ENFORCEABLE. I VOLUNTEERED(TOLD JOHN LEWIS THAT I COULD DO IT IN A WEEK) I HAVE A COMPUTER AND STATISTICAL RESEARCH BUSINESS. NO CHARGE). HE TOLD ME IT WOULD BE DONE BY THE OBAMA JUSTICE DEPT IN 6 MONTHS???(A JOB THAT WOULD TAKE 2 PERSONS LESS THAN A WEEK??). OBAMA, CONGRESS, DEMOCRATS IN CONGRESS, THE DEPT OF JUSTICE NEVER UPDATED THE STATS, THUS THE VOYING RIGHTS ACT REMAINS VOID. I SPOKE TO JESSIE JACKSON AND THE NAACP SEVERAL TIMES, ASKING THEM TO CALL THE OBAMA ADMINISTRATION, TO GET THE STATS UPDATED!! THEY ALL SAID LETS WAITE AND GIVE OBAMA AND JOE BIDEN A CHANCE!! AFTER 10 YEAR I AM STILL WAITING FOR THE VOTING RIGHTS ACT TO BE FIXED. WHILE LEWIS, OBAMA, JESSE JACKSON, NAACP STILL PROMOTED THEMSELF AS THE BIG ADVOCATES FOR VOTING RIGHTS!!!! LOL

Carmine persico is the one that pursued the rub out of Joe gallo.. They were at war and there's no way he would have let percico sit comfortably as boss Joe bonanno was the youngest godfather not joe Colombo.. second he was taken out by other bosses but blamed crazy joe Gallo because it looks bad if a boss takes out another boss.. Also blaming joe gallo so it doesn't start a war between the families..

I doubt Gambino would have anything to do with Gallo. The old school mob was against drug dealing as it was a violation against the rules. Gallo was into drug money through Bayonne Joe Zicarelli's boys. The Jersey mob had different rules than the New York mobs. In New York, the penalty could be death for such a violation, as I understand it.
