Gambino Mob Boss Shooting Suspect Was 'Radicalized' by QAnon, Far Right, Even Trump, Lawyer Says

An attorney for the Staten Island man accused of killing a reputed Gambino mob boss says the 24-year-old suspect was influenced by far-right internet rhetoric and radicalized by the QAnon conspiracy theory and President Donald Trump. Anthony Comello appeared in a St. George criminal court Monday and was arraigned on charges including murder, assault, and criminal possession of a weapon in connection with the March 13 shooting death of Francesco “Frankie Boy” Cali outside his home.

The President can't pardon for a state crime and I doubt the Gov. of New York will consider a pardon.

He'll spend the rest of his life in jail.

but in fairly short order somebody will get to him anyway.

He certainly had to have known that, and if so what he did amounted to murder-suicide.

Possibilities: Mentally ill. Unfathomably stupid. A rage-aholic. Drugs. Or some combination thereof.
