It's absolutely brutal. Though who's to say Tony didn't deserve it? His brother Michael certainly did not. I can't imagine something like that happening with the New York families.
I don't know man, a sociopath like Scarpa or Pitera wouldn't flinch over something like that. What about Casso shooting Hydell 16 times and blowing off his dick, intentionally keeping him alive to suffer? I don't know if its all true but thats what Philip Carlo described in his book.
