it wouldn't get to that point in the first place.
the sopranos were in the mafia, every part of it, jackie aprile senior senior was boss. this makes it obvious that tony and jackie aprile would have more than likely got passes.
if it would have been decided that they had to die, then they would have died. remember that tony soprano killed his own cousin, tony blundetto. because he knew it had to be done.
no coups, a decision would be made and thats it.
You have to understand how all this works, in the late 70s an irish bum killed carlo gambinos god son. carlo cambino was the most powerful and respected boss ever. he has 1000s of men who could find and kill this guy. but he decides to give it to a rising star, john gotti.
Gotti is making money, doing ok, but nothing special, gambino makes a point of giving him "this piece of work" as a way into something bigger.
gambino has two underbosses, neil dellacroce and paul castellano, castellano makes gotti take one of his guys with him, the hit gets messed up when castellanos guy kills the irishman in front of a full bar.
to get revenge, gotti later has castellanos soldier killed.
going off the rules, gotti would have his funeral the same day as castellanos solider.
but it's worked out because gotti is like a son to dellacroce.
my point being anything can be worked out if you've got someone with influence in your corner.
when it comes to the mafia, theres no rules, well yeah theres rules, but they change them whenever it suits them. jackie jnr did something stupid. but in many senses he was mob royality, came from a "good" family, well respected. his father was not only a boss. but the best friend of tony, the current boss.
so he shoots up the card game, ralphie who is now a captain, according to mob rules can give anyone a pass. he goes to tony and says that he wants to give him a pass
then tony enters into this reverse psychology of "who cares what people say behind your back, you schooled him the best you could, didnt ya?"
in other words, "people will call you weak, and jackie jnr is out of control because of you"
ralphie leaves the sit down and looks worried, he's in shock....he knows what he has to do.
tony pushing so hard for jackie to be killed, just episodes after catching him getting a lapdance while dating his daughter....
i always thought it was made clear that this was tonys revenge.
you have to look at the major differences between the 2 things. Tony and jackie aprile snr got away with knocking over feechs card game because they didn't do anything that stupid, they didn't shoot at made men, they didn't kill the dealer, sunshine wasn't made, but he worked for the mob, he made them money and was under their protection.
and thats the difference, jackie jnr, dino and carlo shot at made men, they killed their dealer, they went way over what tony and jackie did. and like we've already said there was protection there because of who tony and jackie snr were related to.
so whats the discussion? that if tony and jackie snr did what jackie jnr, carlo and dino did, would they be let off? it's an interesting question.
heres the thing. jackie jnr has a lot of cloat, he's the son of a boss, the grandson of another boss, his mother is in the inner circle of mob wives, he's the step-son of ralphie, a captain. jackie can go to tonys house, he can eat dinner, although it could sound silly, it's a big deal. jackie jnr dates meadow, he cheats on her, he gets a lap dance, he messes around, this hurts tony. he later knocks over the card game.
Ralphie who is a captain asks for a pass for jackie jnr, he has that power, but during 2 conversations with tony, he is subconsciously talked into killing jackie jnr.
This seems obvious to me that it was tonys revenge for what jackie jnr did to meadow. you're asking if tony soprano in the same circumstances would have been killed or got a pass? well like junior says "we bend more rules than the catholic church"
anything could be worked out or go the other way depending on whos doing the talking and how much influence they have
youtube has got really orwellian, i used to like reading stuff about conspiracy theories, not saying i believe in them, but they kinda fascinate me, if you search anything like that in google or youtube now, theres only debunking and fact checking videos. just pushing the same agenda.
my next door neighbor is thinking about moving to canada, he says that he's ashamed to be american with biden in the white house.
kids in cages started with bill clinton in the 90s, maybe you know it, maybe you don't. heres some examples of it, before trump even ran for president.

hahahahahaha nobody cared about it until it became a way of attacking trump, you didn't even know it existed until the media told you about it, the media tells you when and why you shpuld be offended, and thats it. hahahaahahahahah dumb libs
at least he knows what his name is!
When gotti wanted someone (i can't remember his name) whacked during the 80s, he reached out to the decavalcante family, the decavalcante family in NJ is the basis of the sopranos. tony is based on vinny "ocean" palermo. Vinny palermo knew gotti well, so yeah...
It never made sense to me that knocking over a card game would make you a "rising star" tony and jackie aprile were the sons of major mob guys, they were always going to get off. what balls did they show?
but like the other answer says, jackie jnr and his friends not only knockerd over a card game, they took shots at made men, killed a dealer. thats a death sentence.
i do however believe that if jackie jnr didn't mess around on meadow, getting that lapdance, doing other stuff.... that tony would have allowed ralphie to give him a pass.
