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

[-----]

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.....................................

This is what the wiki page says so I'm going with this:

Barksdale sits at the defense table at a court room with all those apprehended during the bust sitting behind him. The shot has no dialog, so it is unclear just how long Barksdale would be in prison, but it can not be less than five years, and it is implied that he received an additional 25 years for conspiracy to commit murder and weapons charges.

Under the circumstances he was caught it isn't hard to see how he could be convicted of conspiracy.

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.

You can't do a drive by on Omar, he pops up randomly and never lives in any set place

His plan made perfect sense, it actually should've worked easily, Omar just jumped out the window.

went to HS with his Brother no bs

Man in the show they made it seem like he was at least going to go down the durg dealing path, until he took coke,

The points I was gonna make have already been mentioned. But one thing I realized about snoop, Chris, and marlo was that they were all pretty quiet and composed. Like the saying goes, it's the quiet ones you gotta look out for.

Looking back on Season 4, Marlo killing the security guard from the convenience store made zero sense...Joe, String or Avon would never have been that petty and reckless..Dude was actually talking about sending Chris to kill people just because he got "bored"

See the difference between them is Marlo is a sociopath. Marlo kills over disrespect all the time. Remember in season 5 he had dude killed because he heard someone say the guy talked shyt about him? He didn't even know if it was true

But I just watched the security guard episode again yesterday and the dude wasn't disrespectful AT ALL..He went out of his way to let Marlo know he knew who he was and didn't want any problems..To me that killing was 10 times worse than Wallace getting murked (which people always point to as the saddest moment on the show)

I always said he should've never even said anything. He knew who Marlo was so why even bother confronting him at all. Especially when it's a lolipop. He was grilling Marlo all through the store once he came in. I agree that was fukked up because he didn't disrespect to a rational human, but I can see where Marlo felt it was disrespectful for him to even step to him in any way. When you deal with nikkas like that, who are power crazed, you gotta swallow your pride. Even coming out the store to address Marlo stealing a 5 cent item was stupid as hell. "Yeah I know you can kill me and my whole family, but I just want to let you know I'm a man and show me respect" nikka, get your dumb ass back in the store. Lol.

D "snitched", but at the end of the day killing him served no purpose other than to fukk up Avon's focus so String could operate his shady dealings. A didn't know shyt String was doing, how the fukk would D know? They changed the whole operation after they got knocked. D wasn't privy to any new information.

He had info on murders stringer and avon had ordered.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but didn't boris(Russians, no hands no face dude) try to snitch on the Greek at the end of season 2?

Yeah, he did. It didn't really make sense to me that he was able to hook Marlo up with the greek (via avon) after snitching on him. Unless the greek didn't know boris snitched?

 

[OG Talk]

Nobody on the show deserved to die more than DeAngelo and Wallace..Only people that don't understand the game felt any pity for either of them..

 

[Ineedmoney504]

Maybe his snitching didn't get counted cause they didn't get any info outside of the Greek picture, and didn't lead to nothing but they apartment

But he didn't get death like they was going to give him before he cooperated, so idk they probably never found out he snitched

chris was military. snoop didn't give a fukk and mike could catch on fast.

also at least chris was loyal.

my ony gripe is they should have burned those bodies....there were too many just to nail up in abandon houses and not to expect someone to wander over them one day.

You can when you know he's sitting outside in a car....
