Why did Fat Dom Galiello break balls?


I mean, was he looking for a fight? He repeatedly baited Sil and Carlo with some pretty strong insinuations, including Carlo being a homosexual.

Yea that made no sense. To me, its a plot hole

Suicide by mobster? Lol
In truth, I think he was just arrogant and foolish, and thought he could get away with being an asshole at that particular moment in time, for whatever reason. I’m not sure if he was a ‘made’ guy, but he certainly felt that he was untouchable.
From a storytelling perspective, it adds more to the already existing conflict, and provides another layer of dread for the viewer (at least it did for me).

I think Dom was just arrogant and thought that because he was New York and they were just Jersey that they wouldn't dare touch him no matter how much he wound them up.

He was probably right, generally speaking, but in this case he went too far with the wrong guys and they weren't afraid of him
