While the Mafia usually wouldn't have businees messing around with innocent people, they have no restrictions about killing someone who gets in their way--whether that someone realizes it or not.

On the whole, organized crime syndicates are usually pretty aware that law enforcement takes murder a whole lot more seriously than gambling, bribery, and theft (in all its forms). That's why Roman robbed the Dust shop with five henchmen, when he could have easily done it himself. He wanted to make an impression to any bystanders and say: "Just stay out of the way, and no one gets hurt."

Of course, he didn't figure on someone--like Ruby--actually attempting to stop the robbery. Ok i meant they wouldn't do it completely unprovoked.
