Blowing up Vesuvios right or wrong?
Serious answers only… was Tony wrong for blowing up Arties restaurant? I mean that hit was gonna happen regardless since Junior woulda just waited until the restaurant opened back up. So not only did Artie get the insurance money he also didn’t have to worry about a murder in his restaurant killing his business( no pun intended). Now I get it at the bbq Tony Sil and Paulie where gaslighting and manipulating like a mf. But still all in all was it the right thing to do or wrong?

It definitely prevents a murder at Vesuvio
It probably gets his friend a payout to upgrade the restaurant (and Tony can exert some pressure to make sure this happens)
In North Jersey blowing up Vesuvio is a win-win solution
