KonKostic,isn't important to kill the same men that beaten Chris. Christopher Moltisanti even is a junkie,was a made man so the family must take trusted wiseguyes and begin to kill the gang members, set fire to their homes, etc. the demeos are a family of Cosa Nostra, even if second-class, and not revenge a member who was beaten means to admit to don't have even the slightest power on the streets.
During the show the TVs says that DeMeo rules on the entire North Jersey and an exaggeration, but in reality the TV exaggerate about the Mafia and its end, so this aspect is credible.
