Someone called up on the radio with the idea that the reason the Bacon Brothers are now targets is because they turned snitch. Usually, we never hear of these gangsters if there is an investigation on them and these poor saps have been in the media constantly. If someone is snitching, that would result in arrests but I guess that's too much to ask for in BC.
omerta - This is just a case of the criminal element policing themselves.
Quote:
Omertà implies “the categorical prohibition of cooperation with state authorities or reliance on its services, even when one has been victim of a crime.” Even if somebody is condemned for a crime he has not committed, he is supposed to serve the sentence without giving the police any information about the real criminal. A common definition is the "code of silence". Within Mafia culture, breaking the oath of omertà is punishable by death
