For him to really get away, the whole way the hood scene went down before he got murked would have had to go differently. He only "get's away" if he gives the Russians their money. One of two ways that happens: he beats Jake fair and square or one of the hood dudes claps jake for him. The former would be boring and would deprive us of one of the best scenes of Denzel's career (King Kong ain't got shyt on me). The latter would paint the hood dudes as nikkas willing to play lackey to a corrupt cop for some bread. Now if he just manages to escape the city and the Russians, we ever really get the full weight of Alonzo's desperation and why someone who was probably just a corrupt cop who lined his pockets turned into a murderer. We're told why, but seeing the consequences is more powerful.

Alonzo being murdered was kinda forced though. The way the Russians easily found him while driving in the street is hard to do in LA. Vince Vaughn in True Detective got found the same way. I'm like:mindblown: I could see him getting merked right there in the Jungles right after he did the "I'm King Kong" speech though.

I think it would have been interesting if he had lived.

But I will say that him getting shot up the way he did was a great way to end him.

I'm tired of the bad guy not getting away. Alonzo, Tony Soprano (face it, he got his), Stringer, Vic Mackie (He didn't die, but kinda did), Jax Teller, Gemma Teller, Omar....The list goes on. I need some of these dudes to live. I don't care if they SHOULD get got. I don't care. I mean really....how is Omar gonna die after Supermanning off that balcony. It's just not right.

Okay....Done venting. LOL.

Marlo lived and got away and he was more villainous than those two and one of the biggest villains on the show. Plus, Omar wasn't even really a villain. If anything, he was an anti-hero. He was stealing from the rich and giving to the poor and didn't really mess with kids.

Yep yep.

Them nikkas ain't gon' kill a cop even if he's corrupt...If Bone had dropped Alonzo the whole hood would be under a lock down we ain't seen since the days of J. Edgar Hoover + Darryl Gates :wow:

If you killed a made man in any branch of the Mafia and they gave your ass 24 hrs to live and pay up, you won't be that hard to find anywhere (technology is a muthafukka ain't it) ... Alonzo was a dead man walkin even if he had the money so that time line was just to fukk with him

You really think russian mafia with military connections and police intel CANT track you, if they wanted you dead??? :heh: They probably tailed him when he left the jungle, you remember the girl that pulled up next to him at the stoplight, that was the decoy/ spotter....
