An experienced mobster goes after the people you love.
"You fuck with me, not only will I kill you, but I'll kill your wife, kids, parents, parents' neighbors, everyone at your place of employment, everyone you ever went to school with...everyone who ever knew you."
That's "Old Testament Vengance." I like it.
30 years ago, I told my superintendent I would file a union grievance over some bullshit at work if he pressed the issue. He told me, "Don''t threaten me."
I laughed in his face looked him right in the eyes and replied, "That's not a threat. If I told you was going to set your house on fire and kill you, your wife and your kids as you ran from the burning building...THAT would be a threat."
I never had to file the grievance.
