Sam was right and Tommy SHOULD NOT celebrated!
Am I the only one who thinks Sam was right about taking out Paulie and targeting Tommy??? All of Sam's actions were rooted in loyalty, one of the most important principles of that life that Tommy agreed to uphold-- and Tommy didn't. Paulie and Tommy put the Family at risk with the unsanctioned bank heist. What Sam did to Paulie was not personal at all, Sam was ordered to protect the Family from unseeable consequences.
Henry Tomasino: This has nothing to do with friendship Vito, this is business. - MAFIA II
Tommy consistently prioritize his personal moral code over the orders that he was given, which made Tommy a dangerous liability. Tommy let Michelle and Frank live, even though those two became a threat to the Family. (Especially Frank) When everything went awry for Tommy, he turned to law enforcement. Tommy broke the code of silence and was now endangering the remaining guys in the Family- even though all of this was his own fault.
Side Note: When Vito got busted for the gas stamps,
he kept his mouth shut and did 6 years in prison. When Henry's scheme didn't go as plan, Joe and Vito did not go to law enforcement. They accept the consequences of what would happen and they were in worse shape than Tommy.
Sam was the backbone of keeping stability in the Family and kept the principles. Tommy betrayal led the downfall of the Family by violating the principles he swore to uphold for his own personal gain.
