Tony killing Ralph was one of the most riveting moments in TV

[jay211]

Tony is a sociopath. What you talking bout? Sociopath knows the difference between right and wrong but kills anyway and finds ways to justify it. Tony was always justifying the shyt he did. That nikka Tony was ruthless and petty.

Tony really whacked Ralph over Tracee as much as it was about the horse. Tony never got over seeing Tracee laid out in the parking lot with her face caved in.

Tony is that nikka that is never happy to see you winning. You see how Tony saw Ralph making money with the horse. Tony wants his piece. You see Tony sees Ralph fukking that bad bytch Valentina, Tony starts fukking her.

You see Tony starting to thirst after Adrianna when Christopher out of town. Tony is that nikka that wants his own plate and wants to eat everything on yours. These Sopranos gangsters are mad sensitive. lol That's what makes this show so funny.

Old school gangsters are like kids on a playground...when he thought the FBI was coming for him in that backyard with Johnny Sack, that nygga made a run for it like it was LIFE OR DEATH instead of getting the shyt taken care legally in a court room like a real bo$$

 

[re'up]

I'd say Tony had A LOT of sociopathic tendencies, like serious ones, not like people who say shyt like that, because they are a$$holes to women or something, Tony had serious narcism and sociopathetic tendencies, but he wasn't a full blown sociopath, Ralph or Richie Aprile were probably a lot closer to that.

"You eat beef and sausage by the truckload". And whoever said Tony was not a sociopath is crazy. He killed more people in his family then anything else

Animals have nothing to do with it.

Ummm animals play a central part in the entire programme. Tony's obsession with them (the ducks and the horse) due to their utter subservience, innocence and unflinching affection to the point in which he feels greater empathy towards animals then humans underlines his sociopathic tendencies and warped grasp of morality.

The murder of Ralph makes all that blatantly clear - not only does he kill Ralph over the horse, the prelude to the murder is a conversation in which Tony shows absolutely no empathy or interest in the critical condition of Ralph's son due to his obsession with the death of the horse.
