What got me most about this ep was that kid who inherited the garbage business. Don’t they have any police in New Jersey? I would think, if you’re not a guy raised in this world – if you have nothing to hide and none of these pieces of shit has any particular leverage over you other than muscle and gun – then when they try to shake you down, the first thing you do is report the entire incident in great detail to the police, state attorney’s office and FBI. Especially if you’re in a position to aid their inquiries by throwing open that books of a business suspected of mob ties. Especially if, like this kid, you know Pauli Walnuts’ name and address. See, once you do that, and let Pauli know you’ve done it – your personal safety now becomes his personal problem; because now there’s an incident report with your name on it and his, and if anything at all happens to you, the authorities will be coming after Pauli. Even if it’s one of the New York guys who actually does it. Anybody with any sense could figure all this out.
