RE: Scarfo's murder of the longshoreman.

I'm pretty positive Scarfo started that fight by throwing his weight around and ordering the longshoreman out of his seat.

But by all means if someone starting a confrontation, escalating it, throwing the first punch and fatally stabbing someone after getting his ass handed to him is "self-defense" then so be it.

I'm also pretty positive I read Scarfo had company when it happened.

Just like Merlino and Gotti, it isn't the modus operandi of guys like Scarfo to fight one on one.

Gang assault is the name of the game.

I invoke my right under the 5th amendment of the United States constitution and decline to answer the question.
