      @@bettertimeschi yeah, that just doesn't really make sense though. I mean, he got the worst death one can get in that life and what did he really do to deserve it? Wasn't a rat or anything. He got a little out if pocket, sure. But he and his brother beaten to death is just extremely over the top. I feel like there's more to that story. No way those particular guys planned a hit in that fashion. Something didn't go to plan. A gun jammed or an unexpected guest arrived at a point of no return so they were unable to use the gun or something. I dunno.

      The only other thing I can think of is Tony sleeping with Geri Rosenthal. The mafia always claims messing with another man’s women is a death sentence. Maybe they wanted to really prove that point this time.
