killing leo wasnt warranted


leo had his flaws and brought the heat onto caan, but leo did give him the kid, the house, etc ,etc. I think leo should have just paid caan more than 70k out of the 900k, or paid him half. leo wanted to keep caan in the game and hold the money as a tool to keep caan from retiring. they could have worked it out, except caan goes ape *beep* and flips out, he should have reasoned w leo and worked it out. leo put him in his place at the car dealership and caan still didn't get the message. he also ddint have to send his wife packing, he killed leo, he should have went back in leos house and found some money and stuff. thief part 2 would tie up some loose ends haha

they could have worked it out


Crime bosses (in real life and in the movies) are not famous for "working things out." They are famous for "popping a cap in someone's ass." And when Leo snarls, "why don't you join a labor union..." to Frank, that means negotiation is over.

Because Leo was going to kill Frank's Wife, and we'd be eating her in our "Wimpy Burger" ... which I happen to love!

Leo deserved every gram of lead forced into his body.
