I'm betting he's not in Kansas any more...

"The most terrifying force of death, comes from the hands of Men who wanted to be left Alone. They try, so very hard, to mind their own business and provide for themselves and those they love. They resist every impulse to fight back, knowing the forced and permanent change of life that will come from it. They know, that the moment they fight back, their lives as they have lived them, are over. -Alexander Solzhenitsyn

Can we get the Dennis Hopper speech from True Romance played at the funeral?

The article goes on to state, the Mafia carried out bombings of Italian cities under this guy, at least, against Rome. Really nothing but a terrorist and at times, I think ISIS has worked with organized crime in Italy per what we have heard, drugs, etc. In fact, in one of the Italian cities, there was a Mafioso who converted to Islam. That story was posted here.

Riina had been in a medically-induced coma and his family had been given special permission to visit him in a hospital in Parma.

They told him to ‘hold the line - death isn’t always on time.’
