He'd kill you as soon as you were looking at him if he thought you were crossing him, if he thought it was good for business, or if he thought you insulted him or his family. The lives of other people meant nothing to him". Kirby reported that: "The Commissos would collect money owned to a contractor and take a percentage of it. They didn't let legal technicalities or stalling tactics get in the way". A very profitable form of activity was having their construction companies win the contracts to construct buildings for the federal, provincial and municipal governments as the Commissos used intimation, bombings, arson and murder to force legitimate companies to drop out of the bidding process or to take over the companies that did win the contracts. After a Commisso-controlled construction company won the contract, Kirby reported: "Once their man got the bid, they became his partners and their people — plasters, electricians, plumbers, cement suppliers — would be used on the job. They'd inflate the cost of the job, pocket the profits and run like thieves while the public or business paid the price".

stated he had been expecting Volpe to refuse, and was most surprised that he agreed to assist the police. Wearing a wire, Kirby went to the house of Rocco Remo
Commisso on 16 May 1981 to tell him: "Volpe, he's dead... I just killed him a hour ago". In fact, Volpe and his wife were hiding inside the RCMP's Toronto office. Commisso asked for proof that Kirby had indeed killed Volpe, leading him to produce Volpe's wallet with his driver's license in it, which Kirby said he had taken from his corpse. After looking over the wallet, Commisso was finally satisfied. After complaining that he should not have come to his house, Commisso paid Kirby $ 1,000, and said he would have more money for him soon. Commisso repeatedly assured Kirby that he and his brothers "would take care" of him. In organized crime, however, excessive displays of affection and promises of loyalty are often a sign that those displaying the sympathy may instead be planning to kill the seeming object of their affection. For this reason, Kirby was always in fear for his life by the number of times Cosimo Commisso told him that he was like family to the Commisso brothers. In 1982, the Commisso brothers were arrested by the RCMP and charged with

Toronto, claiming that his victims were "loose women" who needed to be punished to "help them straighten out their lives and thereby society in general". On 21 May 1980, Vaughan was found not guilty by reason of insanity of four courts of rape, four counts of attempted rape, four counts of assault and one count of assault causing bodily harm. During his time at the Oak Ridge asylum for the criminally insane, Vaughan had refused all treatment and was described by one psychiatrist who examined him as "cold, controlling, distrusting, narcissistic, paranoid, and psychopathic". Despite this assessment, in 1998, it was decided to allow Vaughan unsupervised work terms from Oak Ridge asylum, which led the police to fear that a violent misogynist and a potential serial killer was about to be unleashed. The police wanted Kirby to approach Vaughan in the asylum and use his friendship with him to see if Vaughan be induced to speak of other crimes that the police suspected he had committed to provide reasons to deny him parole, but the plan came to naught.

Kirby openly admitted that he felt no remorse for his crimes and that his reasons for turning Crown's evidence were not moral, but rather practical, namely that he feared that the Commisso brothers were planning to kill him. Kirby told Edwards: "I wish I could tell these people I'm sorry for the hurt I caused them. But what will that do? They probably want to spit on me." About the reports there was a $ 250,000 bounty on his head, Kirby joked: "What's a contract worth? With the GST, the end of the recession and inflation, it must be worth some good bucks now".

Kirby was told Cotroni had been hired by others to have Kott killed, but Kirby believed that Kott had cheated Cotroni, who did not want to admit that he had been fooled. Kirby shot Kott, who managed to survive. A second attempt to assassinate Kott by blowing up his car was no more successful and instead wounded two bystanders. In 1979, Kirby was hired by mobbed up Israeli-Canadian night club owner Harold Arviv to blow up his $ 1 million disco called Arviv's in Toronto. The disco was unprofitable and Arviv decided to blow it up as an

On 11 November 1976, Kirby left a stick of dynamite in the mailbox of the owner of Pozzabona Construction to pressure him to pay a plastering bill to a client more promptly. The unhappy client had hired Commisso who in turn subcontracted the job to Kirby. In December 1976, Commisso paid Kirby $ 10,000 to kill Denis Mason, who was due to testify against an ally of Commisso. Kirby planted the bomb in the car of the wrong Denis Mason, but it failed to explode owing to faulty wiring.

Kirby has expressed much remorse for turning Crown's evidence, telling Edwards: "I wish I would have taken a bullet in the head instead of cooperating with those bastards". Kirby believes it is just a matter of time before he is murdered, saying: "It's a small world, believe me. I'm still waiting for a bullet in the back of the head. I'm just waiting for it.

Melia gave him a handgun to kill Nafplotis together with her photo and the keys to her house. Melia told him to show her no mercy as he handed over a briefcase containing US$ 5,000, and promised to give him another $ 5,000 after the "hit" was completed.

Commisso brothers and the people who had employed them than he was against his former associates in Satan's Choice, providing the police with hardly any information of value about his former outlaw biker club.

Kirby wasn't a hitman. He was just a guy who went around scaring people, knocking over their mailboxes".
