What is this -- Robert De Niro and and Joe Pesci? Have we REALLY sunk to this level?
Confrontation between journalist Fred Dicker and New York gubernatorial candidate Carl Paladino:

This clip has footage you probably won't see on the news. It's really nuts!
Dicker, I don't even know 'er!

^ Yeah, that's the one I was thinking of!

BTW, you see in the scene how Jimmy lets Tommy whack Batts. Jimmy and Henry could have stopped him, but Batts was moving back into Jimmy and Paulie's turf. They wanted to eliminate the competition without getting themselves eliminated. Tommy was the sacrificial lamb. They had to pay too because they didn't get a made man on their crew.
And that's that.
With both Goodfellas and Casino, Scorsese made Pesci's character so despicable, you didn't care when they offed him! The Billy Batts scene is historical fiction for the fate of gangster William "Billy Batts" Devino in 1979.
I was also thinking of the scene in Casino when Ginger ties the daughter to the bed so she can go and get loaded, later Sam is threatening Ginger: "If you ever touch her again, you're dead" etc. etc.
