Nope. I have no problem believing you worked at AMC. Seems perfectly reasonable.  
  
Nope. Any serious researcher who isn't being paid to produce disinformation knows the mob was involved in JFK's assassination. Kenosha was a union town. The mob was deep in the unions, so, obviously, Kenosha was a mob town.  
  
Starting to get a little off when we suppose that the Kenosha based mob had something to do with it, but, while I can totally buy that someone tried to kill you in 75, Bruno's brother died WAY before 75, assuming you're talking about Bruno from Kenosha who set up the Dallas trip for Kennedy.  
  
There's a different Bruno who operated out of New York starting in the 90's, primarily in the weed trade from Canada, but he wasn't even born until 73.  
  
But, he worked for the Gambinos while Kenosha was under the Balistrieri family from Milwaukee, and Don Bruno (Angelo) ran the Bruno-Scarfo family out of Philadelphia and his brother Vito reportedly stayed in Philadelphia as well.  
  
Given your extremely tenuous grip on reality and your obvious general confusion regarding the world around you, my sense is that you're deeply confused about things you probably used to know. Or, and this is seeming increasingly likely. You're confabulating a story of your heroics and inside knowledge.  
  
My guess is you read about Bruno being connected to Kennedy and blurred every other fact to fit your narrative.  
  
The brother of a local mobster says you deserved to get hit, you think Jerry Bruno's in the mob, know he was somehow involved in setting up Kennedy, that he's from Kenosha and sort of squish it all together. It's been nine years since Jerry Bruno from New York was sentenced for murder which is way more than enough time even for a healthy mind to blend those disparate facts together.  
  
It kind of makes a strange sort of sense that you'd remark that Bruno's brother said you deserved it, since Bruno was known for avoiding violence and it would be pretty meaningful if he put a hit on you. Don Bruno was the boss in Philadelphia in the seventies, and I guess you didn't actually specify you were hit in Kenosha, but that's Angelo Bruno, not Jerry Bruno. Don Angelo's brother was alive in the seventies, not Jerry Bruno's brother.  
  
Now, some pretty damn suspect coincidences exist for the contention that Jerry Bruno was actively involved as he later worked for Johnson and then went to run RFK's travel arrangements until he was taken out. If there's ever been a guy dirtier than Johnson, I can't readily name him. I guess Roosevelt, maybe, but in a slightly different way. But, people didn't necessarily work for Johnson on an entirely voluntary basis.  
  
Regardless. Jerry Bruno isn't looking like mob and his brother was long dead by the seventies.

Well, I'd offer you the same deal, but we both know you're only getting worse. Wish I could help you, but I know already I can't.  
  
I'm a self aware narcissist. You're not self aware. Just a malignant narcissist unable to look in the mirror of your psyche, the shattered relationships of the people you've consumed over a lifetime scattered behind like victims of a drunk driver who refuses to dry out.  
  
I don't really blame you. You came up hard and were taught that aggression was the winning strategy at every turn.  
  
Your dad didn't know any way to treat you other than the way he did, your mom was essentially a non-entity and just about every authority figure in your life could scarcely even be bothered to pretend they weren't corrupt. Or at least that's how you saw it.  
  
I'm wasn't better than you. I just survived a more fortuitous upbringing. Now and then I encountered people who actually believed what they said they believed, who tried to do the right thing as best they could. And I had the good, the fantastically good fortune to be accused of assaulting someone I didn't even know when I was still a young child.  
  
That taught me that people will just flat out make up crazy accusations when they're hurting, looking for someone, anyone to blame their problems on.  
  
It's been over half a century of watching people and looking for what makes them tick, but I've got a fairly good handle on it.  
  
What people don't understand is that you're not acting like a jackass because you suppose you're great. You're doing it because you think you're a POS and you're trying to convince yourself you're not.  
  
You seek out confrontation to get someone to either confirm that validation or to be vanquished to demonstrate your superiority.  
  
But, it's hollow. You just can't get that genuine internal self worth that ordinary people have. I know, because I know what it is to chase it. I laugh at my own quest for external validation as I laugh at yours. The difference is that I know what's going on and you don't. You're too far gone.  
  
So, you just have as much joy as you're capable of having for however fleeting a bit of time you can have it.  
  
It will be something like a miracle if you can overcome this, but I've seen at least some lesser miracles and while I'll definitely bet against it, I'll also be pulling for you. I don't think it's impossible.  
  
Take care. I won't respond to you again.
