About a year later, as the killings between mafia mobs continued, on March 21, 1980, Don Angelo Bruno was shot in the right temple and killed trying to get out of his car in front of his home in the Little Italy section of Philly. After his murder, the New York mob specifically told Philadelphia’s police and EMT’s not to touch Bruno’s body and to let it remain in his car as a brutal message to all. Angelo Bruno’s corpse sat slumped over in his Cadillac for three days without being moved.

But the book always burns
As the story takes it turn

“As the tightrope walker began his performance, Zarathustra beheld the people in amazement and spoke thus: ‘Man is a rope, tied between beast and overman. A rope over an abyss. What is great in man is that he is a bridge and not an end. What can be loved in man is that he is an overture and not a going under.’”

—F. Nietzsche, Thus Spoke Zarathustra: Prologue, §4 (edited excerpt).

“Sitting here in jail, I don’t like what I see in the society I’m about to enter. I don’t think I’m going to fit in. It’s too loud. Too colorful. The lack of aesthetics. The crudeness. The inanities. The trivia”.

Christopher Thomas Knights, the North Pond Hermit.
