      Well yes, many crimes such as robbery (taxation) and murder (capital punishment) is legal when the government does it. Many cults that end up challenging the governments gets disbanded quickly. The government has a monopoly over violence and they won't let any Joe Blows take t hat away.

And of course this was before they started to actually use the RICO laws. And Gotti wasn't the trigger man Ralph Galione was. At the end of the day it's human beings that are the ones "enforcing" these laws and sentences so back in the 70's when Cosa Nostra was still in its glory day times it's not that hard to believe this situation! It more than likely was happening on a weekly basis back than. It's just we all know who Gotti is and have looked into his life se we're aware of his particular case.

You didn't have to be in the mafia to know that he killed his next door neighbor for running into Gotti's rotten son darting in and out of the street on his bike. It was told that that kid was recklessly riding his bike that day up and down that street.

At the Ravenite there were no alarms on when they’d leave at night? Almost all businesses have alarm systems. Cafes, restaurants, pizzerias. It’s bizarre.

    There were some major aspects to this story that were either not mentioned , or Jim Calstrom got entirely wrong .
    And most of it has to do with Frankie DiCicco . With the possible exception of Salvatore Totto Aurello , Frankie DiCicco were considered to be the most respected of all the Capo Regimes in the Gambino Family . DiCicco , everyone thought had both brains and muscle . To quote Sammy Gravano : " John Gotti and my crew , were nothing but pimples on Frankie DiCicco's ass ."
    The actual plan , after the Castellano hit , was to make Gotti the boss , but if he didn't perform after the first year , Gravano would kill Gotti , to make Frankie DiCicco the boss . This becomes important .
    The Lucchese , Colombo, and Bonanno families were indeed contacted , but the Genovese family headed up by Vincent The Chin Gigante was never contacted . Never!
    This is a very important detail , because Frankie DiCicco was assassinated four months following the Castellano hit .
    The method of assassination was a car bomb. And it was determined that the car bomb making materials were plastique . European materials commonly associated with the Sicilian mafia . Only Chin Gigante of the Gigante had close connections with the Sicilian Mafia ..... Not only that only the Gigante family used this modus operandi once before , when Testa of the Philadelphia Mob was blown up in his house. Everyone knew that The Chin was behind this assassination, as well .
    Old man Paruta , one of Gravano's shooters killed Di Benardo , but that was strictly on Gotti's orders . Gravano , who had a close relationship with Di Bernardo actually pleaded with Gotti to spare DiBernardo's life .
    The whole story of the Di Benardo hit is this :
    Di Bernardo was a Capo Regime , and an extremely wealthy man . Next to Castellano, Di Bernardo may have been the richest mafioso in the Gambino family . Di Bernardo was purely a racketeer , and not a gangster . He was purely an earner . Not a tough guy .
    He was killed for two reasons .
    He was extremely wealthy , and because of his extreme wealth , Gotti saw him as a threat .
    Ruggiero who was Gotti's goombatta , hated Di Bernardo . And he planted seeds of doubt against Di Bernardo into Gotti's head .
    Ruggiero told Gotti that Di Bernardo was " talking treason " against Gotti . This stemmed from a disagreement Ruggiero and Di Bernardo had , following Frankie DiCicco 's death .
    Ruggiero wanted Frankie DiCicco 's position as Underboss . And he told Di Bernardo , since he was Gotti's goombata , He would become Gotti's Underboss . To this Di Bernardo said , " You will never be Underboss . You have the balls, but you have no brains."" Ruggieo , then asked Di Bernardo , " Who do you think should be Underboss?"
    Di Bernardo replied " Sammy ".
    And a few weeks later , Ruggiero borrowed $250,000 from Di Bernardo, with absolutely no intention of paying him back . And it was then, that Gotti ordered the hit on Di Bernardo.
    Ruggiero told Sammy Gravano that John Gotti specifically ordered that Sammy do the hit . Sammy had protested , but he did it in the end . He had no choice . Joe Paruta , Sammy's main shooter actually pulled the trigger .
    .
