I don't know if it was mention in this thread before but :ohhh: Was Herc and Carver's scheme of using a fake created C.I. name "Fuzzy Dunlop" to get funding to aid them in a case foreshadowing of when McNulty and Freamon's scheme of creating a fake serial killer "The Red Ribbon Killer" for funding for their case against Marlo?

Better to reign in Hell than serve in Heaven
Kima and Herc were the two most useless cops on that show. I didnt hate Kima like I hated Herc but I seen no use for her. Lester, McNulty, Bonk, even Prez and Carver all made strides in development and became better cops/individuals as the show went on but Herc and Kima went the other way. They never showed any growth. Herc showed growth but it was not as a cop. Kima was just there In The show. Besides being shot undercovered, her character really didn’t serve any purpose in the show. Like if she disappeared after season one would it really have effected the show. She didn’t do nothing else significant after being shot by Little man besides snitch on McNulty.
Kima was the best of the cops MORALLY... When she got shot and they wanted her to finger the guy she never saw... She refused. Anytime they wanted her doing fake ass police work... She refused.. In fact, the only actual breaking of the law I ever saw her do, was when they raided the Pit, and she helped beat up dude who sucker punched an old cop.. She was the moral compass who never let them go off too deep.

And when you think she's turning into that bad cop.. Cheating on her girl, lying to her, getting McNaulty to lie for her, using the fake serial killer to solve her case..... She still feels like shyt that she did it, and turns herself and everyone in



She good police

Good response, but she bent rules throughout the show just like most of the cops.

Nah that was absolutely a thing In New Orleans and bg was fully a Dope headband strung out

Damn that's crazy! Some heartbreaking shyt right there but it's reality.

I never seen no kid shoot up no H, but how would you unless you live in that world. 3 of my close high school friends got on that shyt shortly after high school. It really depends on the atmosphere. nikkas in bmore was/is selling heroin at high volumes. Some of them gon dip into that shyt. Kids who dont really got homes are around these open air drug markets, where theres drug dealers and drug users. Some gonna succumb to it. Maybe not necessarily the typical addict story but frequent enough to where its not necessarily surprising. N.O. is a different story. That shyt was like a social drug to them nikkas.

Wow a social drug? nikkas using H and just nodding off on some regular shyt? How?

That right there is crazy. At least with coke it makes sense cause nikka be talking and wanting to have fun on coke but H? That's crazy.
I get it I think. It’s not teens on hard drugs that got you confused but kids and injections. Yeah the needles used to scare kids and suburbanites. Most teens definitely prefer to ingest or inhale.


When I was in school ,I had a friend from Shreveport, LA who said a lot of his peers down there were on the needle. Said he never want to go back to LA. Just a depressing place. This was years before Katrina


Whe I lived Milwaukee I had a job in high school as a demolitionist for this contractors. Fun job, especially once we got the sledgehammers. Basically clean out and break down buildings for reuse or rehabilitation. One job Was cleaning out one a multi-unit dwelling and the past resident left there belonging all we had to throw it out. Was in the kids room throw shyt(and I like this because I would find shyt that I I kept or sold) and he had a plastic container. I was expecting f to find games or sports cards but open it up and a bunch of needles was in there. Like hundreds. I backed out and told the contractor I’m through with this dwelling. Take me to an other job. That shyt bothered the fukk out of me. I picked the wrong room because the other worker found a ps2:francis:

Damn that would have bugged me out too but how you now it wasn't because the kid is a diabetic or something.

Insulin syringes are recycled or specially discarded. They showed you that when they give it to you and show you how to use it. Their was all different color and type of needles put In a plastic containers and hidden. It wasn’t for diabetes. My mom has diabetes and this looked. I think like what she has to take.

Yeah. I never got that shyt. Guess it aint too surprising with the way nikkas is eating pills and slurpin lean like its all good. Some of that shyt is just as addictive as H...some of that shyt even stronger. But heroin was always looked at as a dirty ass dummy drug. Even back in the days when fools were callin it "junk" but making all kinds of mindbendingly dope music off that shyt. But its like them Louisiana nikkas was in their own world and that ended up being fly to them...their party drug of choice. Making songs about it. I hope most of em was just snortin it but i know that dont even sound right. Everytime someone on here bring up old school CMR rappers shoutin out dope, Im always like :scust:..."fukk is wrong wit them nikkas." shyts probably how square ass white folk look at some of these rappers. I remember finding out that Crystal Meth is like a social drug in the hoods of Hawaii. That shyt blew my mind, way before they even filmed Breaking Bad. Shiiit back in the 90s, after Len Bias died, rapping about doin blow was pretty taboo. Now I wouldnt be suprised to find out some little town in Mississippi has a hip hop scene...but they rap about smokin crack all day. Some of the places in this country world just breed that type of derilect behavior.
