What was the most important fukk up Barksdales made from seasons 1-3 of the wire?

yeah Jimmy was after Stringer, but either way they had been operating off the radar till Jimmy sat in on that case....

nothing you can do about that shyt imho...

like Avon said it best in season one...

"The thing is, you only got to fukk up once. Be a little slow, be a little late, just once. And how you ain't never gonna be slow, never be late? You can't plan for no shyt like this, man. It's life."

That was a really great scene. D'angelo was bad in it but wood harris' acting in that show saved the scene....harris and elba were just outstanding for their run

That was because of how they handled wallace; plus, it was already unraveled by then imo...PLUS, they already helped him beat a case and killed a witness over it, AND they tried everything to stop it.

this was what I was referring to

Ah, I thought you meant they fukked up by LETTING him go to jail the SECOND time he had a case

In retrospect that was for drugs anyway

Point taken though; if they make d'angelo eat that charge cause he was dumb, gant never dies, bpd sits on their hands as usual, mcnulty never gets interested in stringer bell, the pit gets run by bodie or continues to be run by ronnie moe, and the rest of the heat doesn't happen.

They'd be fine in theory until the towers collapse in season 3.
