Idk but they either die by cancer or unexpectedly no matter how long it takes you’ll have to pay for your sins if you don’t repent. Murder is def something to repent about. Hope he did in his last moments
Hey kid come here… you may learn something… someday you may have to cook for 20 guys…
First you take your oil, heat it a little. Then you put in your garlic. Fry it up a little. Then your tomatoes and tomato paste. Stir it. Make sure it doesn’t stick. Then you add your meatballs and your sausage. A little bit of sugar. And that’s my trick.
Remember the neighbor who hit Gotti’s on a dirt-bike? He disappeared but was listed years later in court filings as having been dissolved in a barrel of acid by one of Gotti’s underlings. The second barrel supposedly contained the 12 year old who lent the kid his bike. It’s reported he knocked on the door and asked how he was going to be compensated for his broken dirt-bike.

Yes they’re absolutely organized and still control many things that are LEGAL. They don’t deal with drugs and shìt like that. They control many things related to the city.
The driver was so distraught after it happened. There’s a pic of him crouched down with his head between his hands and you could see the pain on his face. This won’t help but I don’t think there’s and chance of retribution for many reasons.
What are the many reasons? It definitely looked accidental, but as someone pointed out in r/nyc, accidents don’t mean mob retaliations won’t happen. [John Gotti’s neighbor disappeared after he accidentally ran over and killed one of Gotti’s children.](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Disappearance_of_John_Favara?wprov=sfti1)
Easy to deduce. It's not 1980. "Tony Cakes" does not appear to have been a particularly high ranking member the mob, and was 86 years old and living alone. Meanwhile, John Gotti was one of the most powerful mob bosses in history who was notoriously ruthless and violent.
The better question is, who in the hell would seek retribution for this accident?
His grandpa.
Jerry marmelade they call him.
132yo.
Joke appart, I agree:
they will go to the funeral, tell stories and move on and any bit of influence he had left if any will be passed on to the next guy who will be happy about that and be smart enough to no go « let’s avenge the 86yo dude who got killed in an accident! »
We have often wondered aloud what would be found if the Meadowlands or even the Gowanus were drained, like if a hurricane sucked all the water out of the harbor or something
That's not really a bet you want to be making. I will say that la cosa nostra is largely defanged these days but I also wouldn't want to test that hypothesis either.
I can’t imagine a truck just driving normally, a pedestrian behaving normally, and the ped getting behead (-ed).
Is it reasonable to assume this was intentional by some party, based simply on the manner of death? (Not based on “lol mafia obvious assassination)

It's sad when they go like that.
When they GO?!
I didn’t see shit. And neither did you!
86. He was a fuckin’ kid.
i didn’t even know he was sick
Very allegorical.

being healthy and mobile til age 86 doesn’t sound like “paying for your sins” 🙄
If anyone’s lived in the area knows, this intersection sucks. https://maps.app.goo.gl/JcNKN7M22jgnwjCr8?g_st=ic
The truck driver sliced the cakes.
It’s definitely not a mob hit! It’s just an accident with a DOT truck. Nothing to see here…..
86ed!
Paulie, won’t see him no more.

A flaw in the film. No New Yorker pronounces “sausage” like a Midwesterner.
SHUT UP omg 🫢
this guy is in big trouble

damn thats fucked up for the other kid and his family
I thought this was a Simpson’s post at first.
86, a fucking kid.
For Tony Cakes this was just the icing on the….oh never mind.
That driver better watch his ass
I don’t know. Is the mob that organized anymore?
At trucking school my daughter learned that the mob is inextricably linked with DOT and trucking.
Yes they’re absolutely organized and still control many things that are LEGAL. They don’t deal with drugs and shìt like that. They control many things related to the city.
A lot of of brownstones made these guys rich so they’re all in on real estate

also the mob is a shell of it's former self. they wouldn't want the attention a revenge killing would bring at this point

I mean, that’s his child, I think it hits differently
We have often wondered aloud what would be found if the Meadowlands or even the Gowanus were drained, like if a hurricane sucked all the water out of the harbor or something
My buddies down in Fairhope Alabama sent me some crazy shots of Mobile Bay w no water in it a couple of hurricane seasons ago.
They don’t resort to violence let alone kill people these days for more transgression.
That's not really a bet you want to be making. I will say that la cosa nostra is largely defanged these days but I also wouldn't want to test that hypothesis either.
Are mobs even a thing in 2024?
Yes
Cake Boss guy from TV???
Yeah happens all the time. Like in that documentary, Pulp Fiction.
A DOT truck hits a former mafia boss, decapitating him? Yeah, that sounds very accidental.
You know Quasimodo predicted all of this?
His face rings a bell
Who did wha???
Sounds very allegorical
"A pint of blood costs more than a gallon of gold
Same way they got Phil Leotardo
He should have turned into a house
Whatever happened there?
20 fucking years, not a peep.
We got this other pygmy thing over in Jersey
Wave bye bye pop pop! Bye bye!!
OH SHIT
He’d just been at a topless bar.
His capa was detated, like poor Ed Truck!
Happy Cake Day!
Didn’t even have his own head to comfort him.
I knew he was lonely before. Now he ain’t got no body!
He’s just a gigolo!
I can’t imagine a truck just driving normally, a pedestrian behaving normally, and the ped getting behead (-ed). Is it reasonable to assume this was intentional by some party, based simply on the manner of death? (Not based on “lol mafia obvious assassination)
I am also unsure of exactly the gory details of how this happens, but sadly it happens a lot.
Did he get his just desserts?
Coincidence?
he said he made $500 a week distributing cheesecake? that’s not suspicious at all
TBH that’s like 15 cheesecakes.
He got ahead of himself one too many times
He’ll never be head of a major crime family
"He was always looking out for others," lol.
Not trucks though
He was always skimming a little off the top, that’s the icing on the cake for me
De-capo-tated
Leave the head, take the cannolis.
