It was La Crossing Nostra.

The 86-year-old man who was decapitated by a truck that plowed into him at a Brooklyn crosswalk is a former acting captain for the Genovese crime family, The Post can exclusively reveal.

Anthony Conigliaro — a one-time mafioso known as “Tony Cakes,” “Tony the Dessert Man,” among other dessert-themed sobriquets — died June 12 in an accidental hit by a city Department of Transportation truck, his lawyers and law-enforcement sources said.

“He spent his life looking over his shoulder but he forgot to look both ways before crossing the street,” one police source said.

[Libloather]

That driver is in big trouble.

[Beowulf9]

‘De-Capo’d’.

[Salman]

Maybe it was a contract that looked like an accident.

I saw the name and had a flashback to 1967 when Tony Conigliaro got nailed by a pitch at Fenway Park.

[Leep]

You can’t have your Cakes...wait I thought I was going somewhere with this.

I have no idea what you are talking about.

I LOVE cop humor!

Mobsters are still a thing? Geez.

[ClearCase_guy]

If he’d seen it coming, maybe he could have run out of the way. But, you know, he never had the making of a varsity athlete.

[Mogger]

Mobsters are still a thing? Geez.

Yes, but they got sick of being busted by the government, so they became the government.

Pelosi crime family, etc.

[Shady]

Sometimes you’re the windshield, sometimes you’re the bug.. “sleeps with the fishes..”

[Bulwyf]

Yes, that makes more sense.

[BobL]

He should have F-up’d that truck when he saw it coming at him. Otherwise, why was he so feared?

[BobL]

“I have no idea what you are talking about.”

Is that not the point?

> That driver is in big trouble. <

Yep. Many years ago I worked in a rolling mill. One of the workers, an old Italian guy, ran numbers for the mob in the mill. If you wanted to bet, you bet. And if you won, you were promptly paid.

One day one of the newer workers, a huge black guy, cornered the old Italian in the locker room. The black guy shoved the old Italian guy around, then took all his money. Nobody said a thing. The police weren’t called. Life went on.

Well, six months later the black guy went on vacation down in Florida. He was found shot to death in his hotel room. To this day nobody knows why he was killed. It’s a real mystery.

“Now we know why that DOT guy was crying… he’s probably asking for witness protection,” one source said.

He cannoli hope.
