Hey man i never said that vito or Sonny were innocent of anything. They were both murderers. But even you gotta admit that they treated family better than Mike did. I mean Vito or Sonny would have never killed Fredo. they might have gave him a beating but they knew killing him went way too far. Also they might have agreed that Tom wasn't a wartime consigliere but they still valued his imput and treated him better than Mike did. i mean I think I'm being pretty honest when it comes to that.
But the logic you used - 'hey micheal is a murderer therefore there was no way he could have loved Tom' - is ridiculous.
Vito made the decision along with Micheal to demote Tom so how is that treating him better than Mike did?
And Fredo deserved to die. Sonny probably would have done the same thing in killing him, Vito perhaps not, but deep down would have agreed it was the right decision. Fredo nearly got Micheal and Kay killed, he deserved a similar fate.
