What Was Your Reaction When Stringer Bell Got His Noodle Oodled?

[Khalil's_Black_Excellence]

He okayed his best friend's assassination because Stringer was way out of line on a few things, and directly went against Avon, which jeopardized their relationship with NY. I don't understand how OKing his death is foul when he was a loose cannon. Nothing Avon did deserved for his best friend to snitch on him.

Fred.

Yeah, he didn't deserve to be snitched on, but basically by that point, both of them had two different ambitions and directions they wanted to go with their lives and both of them were standing in each other's way. Though even still, Stringer's previous actions are what pretty much forced Avon to have to give him up, whereas for Stringer, it was Avon's current stand-point that was getting in the way of his plans.

Avon had no choice. Brother wasn't trying to hear that money talk. Stringer set him up to die. Only because he was sent there on the words of Avon. He had to give up Stringer. And I thought their connect to NY was cut off anyway because they feared that there was a snitch in Avons crew because he got locked up. I don't think Brother knew Avons connect was through. But Avon did and that's why he started whispering about Prop Joe and the package. Then he realized that the war was bullshyt and Stringer was right about the co-op.

String had no choice either. They needed the co-op for the dope. The NY connect was dead. He knew the war with Marlo was bad for business. Even the other dealers were scared of dealing with Stringer because they feared they would be targeted too. So it's either ride for some bulshyt or lose a ton of money. He didn't kill him though. Just wanted him out the way.

You didn't have to write out all that. Avon okayed his best friend's assassination. It's as simple as that. If you gonna criticize Stringer, keep it consistent and call out Avon. They both did each other foul. And they both smiled in each other's faces afterward.

I feel this is a misconception honestly.

Did Avon really betray Stringer? I don't think so. If you remember correctly, when Brother Mouzone came to Avon, despite him recently finding out it was Stringer who killed his nephew, Avon STILL told them, whatever stringer did, he'll make up for it if they spare his life.

Avon literally no Choice, stringer did.

If that was the case, then why'd he let Mouzone kill Stringer The only leverage Brother Mouzone had on Avon was his reputation with the NY suppliers

There's always a choice b. Always. The choice is to tell the nikka trying to murder your friend to fukk off

Is it REALLY that hard for you to say Avon did something foul too...there were alot of other suppliers to get work from.

I got the impression that Mouzone was telling him that either the old supplier or a new NY supplier was still going to give him an open line..so it dosen't matter. For nikkas like Avon and Marlo, their rep and their name meant more than anything...so thats a big fukkin leverage

Bruh, what did you want him to do lol?
The man killed Avons nephew, fucced his Baby mama, and Avon was STILL trying to save his life.
What more do you want from him lol, to get killed over this nikka?

 

[61 Corpses]

The lack of a good supplier is how all of the bullshyt began in the first place.

D'Angelo had to get killed. Wallace had to get killed. It's mad fukked up. It's really fukked up but, them nikkas had to go cuz they was gonna snitch

String ended up snitching too, that's why you don't see me on here defending him. I been called out his wrongdoings

I'm saying Avon aint no saint either. He didn't HAVE to set up String. He could've told Mouzone to fukk off. THEY BOTH BETRAYED EACH OTHER.

I feel you. Business is business. Avon cared more about his rep/name like you said I guess, and that's true to his character. Just call it what it is though. Yall saying Stringer was the spawn of Satan like Avon didn't tell his murderers exactly where to find him at

I felt Avon was being thick headed. String was right about the Co-Op shyt.

And after all that shyt, The Barksdale or what was left of it (Slim being the new boss) ended up running the Co-Op by the end of the show.

They could've ran with Prop's dope and said fukk them New York nikkas. All I'm saying is, call out both them nikkas for their bullshyt. Not just Stringer

 

[Malik]

Like B...I don't know what hurt String worse, that shotgun or when Omar said "You don't get it, your boy gave you up" The Ether had to be STRONG as fukk The look on String's face was fukking classic...I love The Wire

 

[K-ZOE]

Slim wasn't running no Co-op at the end. And definitely not on behalf of the Barksdales. Barksdale gang been done since season 3. Slim said out of his own mouth at a Co-op meeting that "he ain't cut out ta be no CEO". After Avon & crew went to jail, Slim became a lieutenant to Prop Joe. After Joe got killed he still was down with the co-op and likely had some influence there, but running it? Nah. Slim was a soldier. A "rough & tumble nikka" like Avon said.

I dont know bout that. I think he was in charge at the end, if not the number two.

 

[hex]

Trying to figure out whether or not Slim was "running the co-op" is kind of a waste of time because the scene is so ambiguous. IMO whether or not he was running the co-op is irrelevant because he was there with the Greek, so at the very least he had a direct line to "the connect", same as Marlo did, and Prop Joe before him.
