Q-dude tried to citizen's arrest mob boss and ended up killing him

Anthony Comello is charged with the murder of Francesco "Franky Boy" Cali, the reputed head of the infamous Gambino crime family...

In new court documents submitted Friday, Comello's defense attorney details how his client -- who he is arguing suffers from mental defect -- allegedly was a believer in the "conspiratorial fringe right-wing political group" QAnon...

His attorney's document notes how Comello tried to make citizen's arrests of three prominent politicians, all of whom are Democrats and vocal critics of Trump -- New York City mayor Bill de Blasio, and Representatives Maxine Waters and Adam Schiff. All three of those citizen's arrests, in February 2019 or shortly after, were unsuccessful...

“In addition to politicians and celebrities, Mr. Comello concluded that the Deep State also includes individuals associated with organized crime. He ardently believed that Francesco Cali, a boss in the Gambino Crime Family, was a prominent member of the Deep State, and, accordingly, an appropriate target for a citizen's arrest," the memorandum states.

The documents detail how Comello drove to Cali's Staten Island home on March 13 and "struck" the mob boss's car which was parked outside of the residence.

The noise apparently prompted Cali to leave the house and speak to Comello about the damage to the car.

"While the two men were standing near their respective vehicles, Mr. Comello informed Mr. Cali of his true intention to effect a citizen's arrest, and ordered Mr. Cali to submit to detention," the document states, adding that Comello "brought handcuffs with him, and planned to restrain Mr. Cali and bring him to the appropriate authorities to answer for the criminal actions which Mr. Comello believed he had taken part in."

"After a heated exchange, Mr. Cali made a furtive action with his hand and Mr. Comello became afraid for his life. He reached into his vehicle, withdrew his gun, and shot Mr. Cali in self-defense," the document states.
