I keep trying to find out what happened before the (pushing match? punch? )
Gandolfini must know that as a public figure there will be people watching him. And he was on the street, not on his private property or at a relative's house or something.
On the other hand I can't begin to imagine what it would be like to have somebody following you around every minute of the day.
"When the snows fall and the white winds blow, the lone wolf dies but the pack survives."
Winter is Coming
Now this is the Law of the Jungle—as old and as true as the sky; And the wolf that shall keep it may prosper, but the wolf that shall break it must die.
As the creeper that girdles the tree-trunk, the Law runneth forward and back; For the strength of the Pack is the Wolf, and the strength of the Wolf is the Pack.
