Okay Harrow could take him out then what? Jimmy does not command any respect from his crew, they questioned every move he made and Capone and the others looked at him as a joke. If Jimmy had killed Nucky which would have made no sense, then what? Harrow by himself is going to take on AR, Torrio and Capone, not to mention Gyps boss? Jimmy was always a number 2 never the top guy. Plus you really think Jimmy had the smarts of Nucky? To make those connections with the irish, with Harry in the white house, plus that guy who he worked with to set up AR at the end of last season? Chulky used to call Jimmy son, sorry Jimmy takes orders from top, not gives them.

:stopitslime: to all this shyt

also, Chaulky called Jimmy "Young James"

Jimmy could of ended Nucky in my opinion, but he didnt want to. That was his surrogate father. He could of done whatever he wanted with the Commodore and Gillian but he just didnt like them. he had lost his wife and he didnt have shyt left.

Gillian and the old father, yes one is flabby and sick and one is brain dead and this is who could take out Nucky? One of the smartest and most respected gangsters of all time? Lets see commodore goes to jail, Nucky doesn't , commodore loses respect of the city, Nucky a hero. Gillian does nothing. Jimmy lost his wife because he was stupid as hell, pay Manny and nothing happens. I get it jimmy was a person people could relate too like Avon and bodie lovable losers , people hated Marlo because he was smarter and luckier than they ever could be same with Nucky. Harrow is a tool. Use it and get rid it when done.

Jimmy was a dumb ass. Capone and Lucky were the opposite of Jimmy, they watched and learned. When u look at it, its like different stages.

Jimmy goes completely away from nucky nad starts a war

Lucky only somewhat goes away and tries to start his own thing while still being under arnold

Al completely respects and loves torrio and takes all the advice and waits.

Very true.

But 1 on 1, 2 on 1, w.e on 1 NO ONE wanted it with Jimmy



Nucky felt shook in that one moment.



Nucky's face is :leon: the fukk happened to that kid I raised.

Jimmy was a dummy, plain and simple compared to Nucky, by learning under him like Lansky and Lucky learn under AR, he could have been great like those 2. He was never coming up, never not with his mom and father as council, so he makes brute force moves, that got him nowhere, all he had to do was pay Manny 5k , and he stalled on that. Dumb move. This era was the era of smarts, taking liquor and flipping it multiple times, using your guns only when you had too.

Nucky didn't even want jimmy being a gangster but if he was going to be one he needed some grooming instead he just became the commodities pawn . The commodore wasn't going to live forever and Jimmy's only real alliance was harrow ( all the other young goons would of killed jimmy if ordered too ) some other hotshot would of took jimmy for eventually

mob wars are not fought one on one :beli:, Nucky was not scared of Jimmy at all, he was just surprised that he could kill so easy without thought. Bottom line Jimmy is a number 2 or 3 in a crew, he is a Monk from the wire or better yet Chris, smart and capable of following orders but not running a crew. Like Stat said, those other guys listened and learned how to do business the right way. You think AR would be scared of Jimmy in a gang war or Torrio in chi town?

i have a feeling this season that those 15 bodies are going to haunt Nucky and he going to have to give up Harrow to appease the people in New York.

Just a guess though.

Jimmy's problem is he let his mom gas him up into something he's not. A boss. Shes the power hungry one, she thought that if Jimmy took after the Commodore she aint have to be a hoe no more. Jimmy just put his head down and agreed with all that. He wasnt cut out to be a boss. He should've just stuck by Nucky since he was the only one who ever really done shyt for him

yeah but nucky only did shyt for him because he whored out his mom at 14. I can't work with someone doing that to my mom and knowing about it. Jimmey should have took his lesbian wife and her lover and just spent the rest of his life trying to talk them into a threesome.

Nucky took care of him though so thats gotta account for something. Sent him to college and all.

He needed a lot of grooming. He just didnt make smart decisions. If he were smart he would have known his role and paid Manny instead of getting too big for his britches.
