i know wallace had to go. i just didn want it to happen.

That's why Stringer was built better than any other character ...project muthafukka stealing badminton sets, then after Bunk and McNulty visit his impressive apartment and see he's a man with tasted and ambition "trapped" by the color of his skin and geographics in Baltimore. When they pull the book off the shelf "The Wealth of Nations"...revealing Stringer was intelligent yet cunning.

I truly felt bad for his character, Stringer never double crossed anyone who didn't have it coming.

Garbage ass goons? They were certified killers. When you got the most killers you win. That's how Marlo was able to come to the top. He was a killer and he had a team of real killers. By the time the Barksdales went to war they were begging for soldiers.



Remember Avon ignores what going tn the rest of Baltimore because HE HAD THE TOWER! Those towers made him a millionaire, so when the came down he didn't have a plan of action. He should've hook up with Prop and expand into the eastside with a proper cosign from Prop Joe but he was to proud. Avon lack the diplomacy skillset of Stringer.

But if Wallace testified, Stinkum, Bird, Weebay and Stringer would've been prosecuted, Omar could've then took out Avon, which was his plan.
Wallace had to go ...the game is still the game.

DeAngelo had to go too ...Stringer was on point. In retrospect Stringer was the fukking man, and after he died everybody said it.



That "bleed green" ether though :wow:

Stringer was an idiot. This nikka having town hall meeting in a funeral parlor. nikka trying to kill senators because he got burnt. The nikka wanted to be legit so bad, why he ain't just bow out like man?

Avon wasn't the problem Stringer was. Even the youngins knew the team was weak. Stringer on some we'll deal with it when we come to it. Then when it's time to go to war, these nikkas getting some half asssed muscle. Joining the COOP did what? Marlo still put his foot on all their necks. Nobody had the muscle to go to war with him.

I mean among Stringer's other books were In Memory Yet Green The Autobiography of Isaac Asimov 1920-1954 ...science fiction writer whose most famous story was about a mathematician who was able to foresee and plan for the rise and fall of galactic empires by equating the mass of the galaxy to the people who inhabit it. To ensure his empire succeeded in the future he foreseen he had to hide the information in small tucks on opposite ends of the galaxy.

Like the "true" Stringer who wanted more and was more of a conservative in taste who was ashamed of his upbringing ...and the thug Stringer who was a calculated killer and knew how to move among them.

Stringer was my dude ...truly a G from start to finish :wow:

Maybe I'm looking too much into it but, at the end of the scene, it's like you can hear both of them thinking "I gotta get rid of this nikka". Even though they were silent, they were screaming this sh*t :wow:

Power struggle. End of the partnership.

And conveniently, at 4:11 seconds, there's a chair (throne) placed in between them :banderas:

"We ain't gotta dream no more" ...Stringer's goal was make legit money and they finally made enough money to self-sustain legit businesses ...you're thinking like Avon and the rest of them monkeys. Even bum ass McNulty felt stupid after Stringer died ...Avon was crying over Stringer and admitted Stringer was right all alon.

You're missing the point, wasn't no need to go to war ...Marlo didn't understand the co-op, but once he did it was too late because AVON already moved on him making it difficult to gain his trust again.

There's nothing wrong with reading but I mean you not an expert because you read a book. You can't drive just because you read the drivers manual.

Stringer said what exactly? They already had legit fronts. They could've still had legit fronts. It Stringer was done he should've told A, he falling back and to make the play how he felt. instead he wanted to lord or both worlds. All that shyt String was talkin bout bodies and the cops is the shyt that the cops told D, who then told the little nikkas in the pit.

If you think Marlo wouldn't have done that same shyt whether Avon was in the COOP and he joine dto, you the fukk stupid.
