The reason the resteraunt owner wanted Paulie to take over the restaurant was for this reason. The Lucchese's weren't muscling the owner for protection money because the guy let them drink and eat for free. Once he approached Tommy about his bill he was null in void to the Lucchese's. Jimmy gave the green light for the crew to target the business for a shake down do to the owner disrespecting the crew. He went to Paulie and asked him to take over because Tommy was gonna become a 51% owner if not. Thats how it works when the mob shakes you down. They explain it later when Paulie takes ober what would have happened eventually if Tommy would have taken over the only thing the giy did was saved his own life. If Tommy took over he would have killed the guy after he busted the joint out if he was running place.

On another note. You guys talk down about Henry snitching. If either of you were in his shoes, you would have talked when he got pinched for the smokes when he was a kid, and you definitely would have talked for the 10 yr bid. You say you wouldnt have talked or the maybe you would have eventually walked away? Tell me again how you would have walked away after years of watching Paulie Vario, Jimmy Burke and Tommy Desimone commit crime after crime. They would have clipped him if he left and its as simple as that. He was not a great guy dont get me wrong.....but dont act like you would do something differently or that you are tougher in some way. The only time you have a right to talk about a 🐀 is when you've looked down the barrel at 25 to life and told the cops to go f×ck themselves. Until then you should have a little sympathy for a guy that got involved woth a bunch of people he shouldnt have been involved with. You cant pick where you grow up.

Bro how can you say what someone else would do or know what they've been through. Sure I know a lot of people would be scared, but you don't know what people have been through or have done in their life. I don't think most people woulda snitched about the cigarettes if they were willing to be in thst life. Now all the other stuff maybe
