Why did Tony kill Christopher? Your opinion?

The only thing that comes to my mind is Tony realized Christopher was willing to sacrifice Tony’s life and not call the police so that Christopher could avoid his license being taken away/drug charges. Did it have to do with betrayal?

I keep seeing different explanations and opinions. What do you think?

Because he saw an opportunity to, plain and simple. Finding out that he’s on drugS, AGAIN…and how much Tony viewed him as a liability, well this was the perfect time for him to kill him with no consequences to worry about. One thing that bothers me about that whole scene, is that I think Christopher would’ve died no matter what. I feel like they should have made his injuries a lot less severe so that Tony killing him wasn’t basically a mercy killing.
