Poast new message in this thread
Date: January 30th, 2018 11:33 AM Author: onyx abode newt most (outside xo) will say Omar. he was by far the most interesting character
mine is a three way tie b/t Stringer Bell, Mike (“you look good girl”) and Marlo (“i ain’t much for sentiment”)

Date: January 30th, 2018 11:44 AM Author: Irradiated ungodly gay wizard travel guidebook the wire is aging horribly as the "muh gang problem" lib bullshit has been exposed as nonsense.
here's a typical excerpt from the Chicago tribune:
"Street gangs, once compared with Fortune 500 companies for their organizational skills and ruthless pursuit of profits, are now mostly made up of small, leaderless sets of members bound together by personal relationships rather than geographic or narcotics-trade ties. Personal insults and petty conflicts, often inflamed by social media posts, are just as likely to lead to a shooting as is competition for drug turf. Taken together, these changes have created an anything-goes atmosphere on the streets."

it's political propaganda and it was conceived as such
“Sure, there’s people who watch The Wire and go ‘Man I love all these fuckin’ characters but I hate it when the politics comes on… I just want to see the badasses shoot each other.’ And it’s like yeah, well, OK, I get it, you know, I get it, but I didn’t leave journalism to write fuckin’ television for you because that’s just horrific.” |

Date: January 30th, 2018 6:29 PM Author: Wild brilliant cumskin Except one show was written by a former homicide cop who was recounting his old busts in actual episodes and homicide and drugs beat writer who covered those busts, and the other was written by career Hollywood TV scribes as a genre amalgam. But I agree it is weird that heroin and crack kingpins of the 70s and 80s were genuis supercriminals--see e.g. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Melvin_Williams_(actor) or Frank Lucas and Freeway Ricky Ross for that matter--and current gangbangers are all basically kids who belong in juvie. I guess it's just one more way that Millennials are a complete fucking failure of a generation. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=3876003&forum_id=2#35280292) |

I feel old. I been out there since I was 13. I ain't never fucked up a count, never stole off a package, never did some shit that I wasn't told to do. I been straight up. But what come back? Hmm? You'd think if I get jammed up on some shit they'd be like, "A'ight, yeah. Bodie been there. Bodie hang tough. We got his pay lawyer. We got a bail." They want me to stand with them, right? But where the fuck they at when they supposed to be standing by us? I mean, when shit goes bad and there's hell to pay, where they at? This game is rigged, man. We like the little bitches on a chessboard.
Man I’m tearing up a little.
