It was a lot of shyt man. Everybody blows up like that....maybe not killing ppl

but after you took so much shyt, it only takes something small to set you off. Tracy. She was a stripper but she was just a naive kid and Ralphie threw away like trash. He talked about ole dudes wife. He thought because he was earner, that afforded him more room to be an a$$hole and disrespectful. He hit that dude with a chain and fukked up a nice dinner party. He gave Jackie Jr. a gun and told him gangster stories, pumping his head up to do something stupid when he should've been telling his ass to go back to Rutgers. And he was stealing money. So yea....Tony just blew up on him after the Horse. Ralph probably could've walked out of there alive if he didn't fight back and atleast appeared apologetic...
