American mafia

Makes for interesting reading on Wikipedia. The Godfather and the horse's head is so realistic.
 
Symbolism in murders

There are many symbolic deeds done during certain gangland executions that are requested by the don.

  • For allowing Joseph Pistone into the Bonanno crime family caporegime Dominick Napolitano had his hands severed. Later during the attempted murder of Joseph Ianuzzi this is what Tommy Agro attempted to do.
  • As in the murder of Lucchese crime family soldier Bruno Facciolo, a dead canary was stuffed inside his mouth after he was shot to death.
  • A mobster who was thought to be skimming from gambling profits was shot dead and found with a twenty-dollar bill shoved into his rectum.
  • An associate gave a powerful capo in the Colombo crime family the middle finger and although his life was spared, his middle fingers were severed by a dull knife and sent to him preserved in vinegar in a hollowed out monkey's head.
