I don't think so. Vinny let his heart rule his brain because of the threat made to his son (which was a very real threat, and not imagined, by the way). I'm not a Philly guy, but I've read and heard that with Scarfo it was a blood lust thing. Vinny wasn't like that at all.
maybe he wasnt as crazy as scarfo
but he let his lust for revenge, overtake his brain and wanted to be there when he didnt need to
Vinny was a killer, plain and simple. Most of these guys are...almost all. And Vinny can definitely be defined as a killer, regardless of how good of a guy you thought he was.
He was in on hits, and ordered hits resulting in several lives lost.
I never said he was a "good guy." When these guys go up for life I don't lose a wink of sleep. You play you pay. You kill people, you belong in prison. Period. I was just trying to convey his mindset at the time. That's all.
