re: A Bronx Tale - the downfall of Lilo Broncato

And he's recently out after almost 8 years.

Did Lilo get off easy? Should it have been like Lonesome Dove and Jake and the Suggs brothers, where "If you ride with an outlaw, you die with the outlaw?" It didn't matter then if you were just trying to get through the territory without getting scalped. While Lilo was actively being a criminal, he may not have had an opportunity to intervene in the shooting. Jake's major sin was that he didn't live up to being an ex-ranger on the level of Gus and Call and didn't try to stop the Suggs brothers, though he probably would been killed in the process; he was just a leaky vessel who drifted with the wind.
