What Made Marlo Stanfield's Crew So Dangerous (The Wire)

[-----]

..Also Avon only asking for little paper showed that he aint have plans of being in jail for he was already working on a way out.....................

There was no way out for Avon. He violated his patrol and was serving a 25 year sentence.

You're bugging. Chris was smarter than Stringer to me. Stringer wasn't that bright. The whole Clay Davis thing exposed that. Chris rarely made a decision that wasn't completely on point. You can tell Chris mind was perfect for combat and strategy on what to do against an opponent. And was always alert and on point. There's many times when all Stringer thought about was the money aspect. Stringer's problem was he tried to act like the street game is the corporate game and he's not that smart in either. In the Corporate world he got exposed as being a street nikka with money but no idea how things worked. In the underworld he got exposed by thinking you don't have to worry about reputation and violence and thought you can get by off just using finesse. Them young nikkas out there only respected violence. That's why Avon barked on him all the time because he thought this street shyt was ballet.

Why Chris beat Michael step dad to death in the alley if he was so "strategic"?.

He took it personal, he felt where Michael was coming from. He knew Michael was molested by the nikka so he wanted to inflict pain more than give him a quick death. I'm pretty sure that was the writers way of letting us know Chris was molested when he was young too. Him and Mike always had a unspoken communication

That is not something Stringer or Joe would've had had done.That shows that Chris was somewhat impulsive. If he stuck to the script and left dude in one of them row houses then he would still be on the street.



Prop Joe > Stringer > Chris

I agree with everything but this riight here.

Marlo was quietly getting his money and muscle up. Marlo was NOT reckless and stupid. He had the territory around them towers for a while, EVEN when the towers was selling dog shyt before string dumb ass gave Joe A FEW towers -BUT he never tried to take the towers or ANY barksdale territory. He was gettin in where he fit. Like any young lion he wanted the crown but he knew he couldn't just take it, it had to be HIS time. Avon had to get real weak before he could make a move. With string running shyt, he saw a lot of weakness.. especially after that p*ssy ass meeting string set up AFTER marlo whooped his crews ass

Marlo didn't break NO RULES OF THE GAME. String and joe and all them co-op nikkas was breakin the rules. RIVALS clickin up and sharing dope and territory is NOT NORMAL. nikkas NOT taking and defending territory is NOT NORMAL. nikkas selling work in SANCTIONED LEGAL ZONES?! Come on breh

Marlo was lookin at this shyt like all you nikkas is goofy. While yall holding hands and singin kumbaya and shyt imma take ALL the territory. You ain't defending it? You nikkas so laid back you lettin them new york boys punk yall so hard that you're gonna ask me, a nikka that's taking YOUR territory AND independent customers, to help you?! And you're gonna give me the good dope prices?! Oh ok

My nikka Avon was on the exact same shyt

Fresh outta jail he asked about marlo's spots and said "this young boy ran US off the corners, he got x amount of territory and HE AIN'T WITH THE CO -OP?!" He asked about the co-op outta respect for string. Avon hated the co-op and Joe snake ass. Remember that nikka String sitting in the backseat with his face all BALLED UP when Avon was goin in?

The game won't stand reform. The game is the game. Avon and Marlo knew it. Shiiiiiiiiit my nikka Clay Davis knew it. String and joe had to find out the hard way

That's how them Italians do it. That is why you nikkas need can never win. You use your heads.

 

[sabaw]

Nah. Slim and them had the drop. They could've gotten Marlo. Marlo was still a puppy. Avon had rounded up hitters from everywhere. What Marlo did was make it so Omar had to come look for him and it still ain't work. Kennard took that body. Not Marlo's mercenaries. Omar had Marlo's people scared to death.

You can't really say that Slim and Avon woulda finished Marlo that night. Remember Chris always has lookouts he even managed to trap Omar thinking him and donnie are about to kill monk if it wasn't for that spiderman shyt Omar woulda died at that night.

BINGO!

Prop Joe > Stringer > Chris

chris was smarter then string in a few ways, clay davis really exposed how dumb string was.

the fact that he even trusted a known dirty politician who doesn't even move in the streets with his drug money and expected to get something out of it, could you imagine avon or marlo doing that.

I understand he was trying to invest it into something else but he could have went a different way of doing it.

when omar took the shipment and sold it back to joe I knew it was only a matter of time for him, Omar pretty much had him by a puppet string since he threatened to tell Marlo how he knew about that poker game he robbed.

Stringer gave over a quarter million dollars to a known con artist and constantly made decisions that made zero sense. You gonna point out the one thing Chris did based off emotion and ignore that plethora of mistakes Stringer made by just being a dumb ass?

Exactly. Stringer was exposed as a moron. I said it plenty of times, only people who thought Stringer was smart aren't smart themselves

His problem was he wanted the business man image so bad, that he forgot criminals weren't just people who did shyt in the streets. I think both avon, and stringer, was stuck on the image that it hurt both of them. Avon couldn't let go of the street shyt, so he made himself hot, and Stringer wanted the business man image, so he softened up and let people get him.

Anyone with some common sense woulda never gave that snake a dollar let alone 250k

Only Mcnulty lying ass said this once and people ran away with it, but it never was implied at all one, Stringer only gave enough to get him knocked for the rest of his probation, as Stringer and Colvin had map that shyt out already, all them lil nikkas took the gun charges which they aint even stay in for that long.....................................

True, but Omar didn't die that night. The set up was stupid. They knew he was in the wheel they should've just pulled a drive by on him. When they heard a nikka at the door they should've let off and never let them in. It was a bad plan.
