Why did Mr Blonde start shooting at the jewelery store?
Mr Blonde wasn’t a robber, he was only put on the job because Joe owed him a debt of gratitude for doing time without dragging Joe’s organization down with him. Joe also referred to him as a ‘goodfella’ suggesting that Mr Blonde is more of a trigger man, employed to sort out the opposition. Unfortunately, this means that Mr Blonde will shoot with the slightest provocation and putting him on this job is a fatal misjudgement by Joe, possibly indicating a weakness of Joe’s in that his emotions affect his judgement.
