I don’t understand the message he was trying to send. Is he saying that Trump would approve of him killing a mob boss? Trump IS a mob boss so, this guy would be a threat. Or maybe he’s saying, “Trump, you’re MY mob boss and I just rubbed out another family’s boss to make room for you to take over.”
Inquiring minds.
Well, he was a mobster long before he was POTUS… 
Which is why he found a natural landing site in the GOP.
I think he’s a bit confused himself. Just guessing. 
That dude’s walking a green mile already and only luck will determine how long his stroll lasts.
The “serious threats” are undoubtedly from trump supporters who are worried that a trump-supporting murderer could lead to prejudicial judgments that the trumpist movements a whole is violent.
(I’m kidding, of course, but if I weren’t and the above were true, we can rest assured that they wouldn’t recognize the irony of it.)
I think @allegra has a future writing crime noire.
Enron and San Francisco practically made me a refugee. I had to retire and buy in Oregon.
Q–to me, frequently–Why the (insert favorite expletive) do you live in Indiana?
A. I can afford to live here on a CNA’s wages. Any more questions?
You’d miss the food, too.
Smart. You should always pay homage to the crime boss…especially from court.
You’re telling me. Don’t eat in the City too much, but the East Bay has so many reasonably priced ethnic restaurants.
I loved SF and the Bay area. After many visits much of what I used to like about the area has dimmed but not the love of the food.
Because even people in NJ need someone to piss on…
True Story: Buddy of mine is on a cruise out NYC, a person at the table loaded up with too much food and starts to regret the waste, buddy’s wife pipes in saying “Don’t worry, just Jersey it”. The wannabe-glutton, from NJ no less, gets defensive saying “What the hell does that mean?” with the wife quickly deflecting saying, “You know, send it to the Meadowlands”, to which the glutton says “Oh, I get it, at least we are not from Staten Island”, upon which a third couple who had been enjoying the exchange interject “Hey wait a minute, we are from Staten Island!”…
No one pulled a gun…
You’re amazing. That is all.
your use of the term assassinate to describe the killing of a crime boss seems wrong. imho, it confers too much status on an individual who is nothing more than the leaders of murderers, thieves and extortionists. if the mafia wants to dignify their dons by the use of the term assassinate, so be it. civil society should be so much less deferential. again, imho. methinks a writer or editor was too quick to jump to her/his thesaurus for so-called synonyms to murder or kill. they’re really not the same at all.
This guy is clearly a secret liberal who killed this mob boss in an attempt to discredit the GOP with the Italian-American community after PizzaGate because, you know, Hillary’s e-mails.
Picked up my boat in overhaul at MINSY, Vallejo in 1980. Long abiding love for the Bay Area.
Horse and Cow 4ever.
They try to leave, but keep getting pulled back.
