Man Charged With Mob Boss Murder Flashes Pro-Trump Slogans In Court
Source: TPM
TOMS RIVER, N.J. (AP) The man charged with killing the reputed boss of the Gambino crime family wrote pro-Donald Trump slogans on his hand and flashed them to journalists before a court hearing Monday.
Anthony Comello, 24, was arrested Saturday in New Jersey in the death of Francesco Franky Boy Cali last week in front of his Staten Island home.
While waiting for a court hearing to begin in Toms River, New Jersey, in which he agreed to be extradited to New York, Comello held up his left hand.
On it were scrawled pro-Trump slogans including MAGA Forever, an abbreviation of Trumps campaign slogan Make America Great Again. It also read United We Stand MAGA and Patriots In Charge. In the center of his palm he had drawn a large circle. It was not immediately clear why he had done so.

(36,838 posts)The 24-year-old man charged with killing a senior leader of the Gambino crime family in Staten Island told detectives that he was high on marijuana and shot the crime figure because he feared for his life, according to two law enforcement officials with knowledge of the matter.
But the man, Anthony Comello, gave several conflicting accounts about what happened the night the reputed mobster, Francesco Cali, was fatally shot. Though Mr. Comello has acknowledged being at the scene, investigators have been unable to corroborate many of his claims or to establish a motive for the shooting, the officials said, speaking on the condition of anonymity to discuss an open investigation.
At an initial court appearance on Monday afternoon in Ocean County, N.J., Mr. Comello held up a palm on which he had scribbled United We Stand, and M.A.G.A. forever, as well as a circle and U.S.A.
During the 15-minute hearing, Mr. Comello smiled several times and seemed calm as he signed papers waiving his right to an extradition hearing without reference to guilt or innocence. Ocean County prosecutors said he would be transferred to New York within 10 days.
