Aside from Jackie Sr., I don't see where bad luck is the cause of death. In most cases stupidity and over-aggression. Adriana talked about drug connections to an undercover agent snarling her into a case where she had to inform or be exposed for letting the FBI infiltrate the Sopranos, even going right into Tony's house.
Richie was going to be killed for politicking to have Tony killed even before the fight with Janice.
Jackie Jr. robbed a card game killing a dealer and shooting at two made guys.
Seems the Apriles were more hard headed than unlucky.
I always felt like jealousy is what drove Richie and Jackie Jr to their ends.
- Richie wanting more while Tony had it all.
- Jackie Jr being kept out of the life while watching Christopher thrive in it.
Adriana just got squeezed between the sides.
