What made the New York niggas bold enough to think they could take over territory in Baltimore of all places?
they weren't taking over they were more traveling merchants.
>>216043538They thought Baltimore niggas went soft because they arrested barksdale
>>216043565In the drug gamer there are no "travelling merchants"
>>216043538They have Mexicans in New YorkThey drove blacks out of Comptonlook it up
>>216043580Even people from Philly know to stay away from Baltimore man
>>216043538Hubris, the downfall of all great empires
>>216043608Maybe philly niggas are smarter
>>216043665I think it's that NY niggas are full of pride
What made retards obsessed with The Wire for decades
They did the same thing in Sopranos.
>>216043680its a good show. Same with the Sopranos
>>216043716New York criminals have big egos and "NY is the center of the universe" mentality
Brother Calzone, what was his problem?
>>216043680It's one of the best shows of all time dawg, put the word out.
Baltimore and MD in general were a paradise back then compared to right now
>>216043851His dress and extremely proper and pious persona resembles those associated with the Nation of Islam, more particularly its paramilitary wing, the Fruit of Islam, although it is never explicitly stated that he belongs to either organization. Also, his character might be inspired by the Black Mafia, a criminal organization comprising mainly Muslim African Americans that has close connections with the Nation of Islam, but unlike those affiliated with the Nation of Islam, is involved in drug trafficking.
>>216043680>What made retards obsessed with The Wire for decadesYellow Top.
>>216043680well written impoverished african americans, a novelty then and now
>>216043892>You know what the trouble is, Brucey? We used to film kino in this country, proper kino. Now, we just switch on the next streaming service.
>>216043921Could he have been an early alumni of the Black P. Stone Nation?
>>216043851Those niggas are truly an ascended breed. It's amazing how much islam and a rogue glowie can achieve for the black community
>>216043601Compton is in California
>>216043851I've always been confused about his weird Italian sounding name, when I first watched the show I thought they were saying his name was "Brother-Moves-On" like a Tribe Called Quest or whatever
>>216043665I am from Pittsburgh and they are not. 100%
>>216044086we got the jazz?
Yeah Baltimore is awfully far from NY for them to try to move on in
It was Avon specifically who had some vague connection to NY, it's mentioned repeatedly They already had a foot in the door more or less via him
>>216044123whats the scenario?
>>216043680Literally one of the two best tv shows of all time.
>>216043851Brother Mouzone doesn't seem that difficult to get rid of imo. Maybe I'm forgetting something but he would just sit in the middle of the projects on a bench reading the paper all day. Should someone just walk on by in a trio as if they were minding their own business, pull out guns when close, blast him then run, I don't really see what he could've done to prevent that. He didn't seem to be on edge at all times so you could likely get the jump on him if the assassins looked inconspicuous.
>>216044165Yes, but they did have to get it on, regardless.
>>216044347That's why his whole thing is ridiculous they act like he's some omar tier threat but then show us nothing to prove he's actually dangerous. Even the cheese shooting would've realistically been followed by his two goons coming back and firing like mad
>>216044276I too love urban gritty shakycam cop shows for fatherless "KINO!" posters
>>216044276YAAAAHURRD
snoop is cute
>>216044398Oh, indeed.
>>216044486She's in jail right now
>>216044276HELLOOOOOOOOO REDDIT!!!!!!!
>>216043680>>216043680To date the only series that shows niggers the way they are. The fourth season, which is the best, show them as lazy, abrasive, illiterate, arrogant, violent, cheats, retarded, unintelligible and entitled. Sure, there are quite a few decent black folk too, like Lester and Daniels, but the majority are shown as mentioned above. And barring the final season, the episodes are truly well written and easy to keep you hooked onto the show.
>>216044067They drove them out so hard that they relocated to New York.
>>216044025He's from NY not Chicago
Why did they introduce the fat sassy black woman "detective" in S3 like she was always there then just drop and memoryhole her halfway in? She just sat around clipping coupons while the others worked and had a couple "MM-HMM" *bobs head and wags finger* lines. What was the point?
>>216043601They have Puerto Ricans in New York. Mexican demographics are small
>>216045725Why did this show have a minor character? What the FUCK was that?
>>216045770All the minor characters who were actually in the unit the season follows had plotlines. Even the goofy lieutenant with the beach house had a coherent place in the organization and purpose for the plot. But there's no explanation why she's in Daniel's elite unit and why she's allowed to sit around not working all day while everyone else has clear objectives.
>>216044347I mean if you kill him NOI is just gonna send another nigga, if not more and come for a reprisal. It makes more sense than people somehow being afraid of Omar. He's a single guy who every criminal hates and walks around without a bullet proof vest.
https://youtu.be/Bi6DDa5cVMU?si=2XtImakP6kcNJr6hThe wire is neoliberal kino
>>216045813>why she's allowed to sit around not working all day while everyone else has clear objectives.The pointless office work side of the department.
>>216043538>What made the New York niggas bold enough to think they could take over territory in Baltimore of all places?The Wire is awesome. Fuck you
>>216046177I'm not debating that
Chris and Snoop got rid of most of the NYers anyway.
>>216046244They were dumb to try shit in Baltimore
>>216046049It was the unit that Daniels got full control over where he got to pick his own people and cases and didn't have to deal with dead weight being dumped on him. No Polks and Mahones, only people he knew were hard workers from his previous cases. Why would he pick a 100% dead weight person who does 0 work and just wastes budget?
>>216045725shes the translator, she helps the team understand the incomprehensible ebonics and behaviors of the pavement creaturesbesides, a large part of wiretap cases as described by the show is just sitting around waiting for things to happen, you can have someone being paid a salary who's sole job it is to sit at a desk waiting for calls to come in and report on themin a case where there is a job which is 99% inactivity, it is not necessarily a deficit to have a fat and lazy moron fill that positionshe also shows us that there is a profound disconnect between policing and the street which is a major theme of the seriesand that you can take a black out of the baltimore streets, but they will still be a baltimore blackthis underlies another theme of the series, all strategies that do not address the underlying problems they intend to solve are doomed to fail, this is how these people are and how they act, pretending that they are any other way or policing them (or teaching them) in ways that do not target their essential and native traits is futile
>>216048081>shes the translator, she helps the team understand the incomprehensible ebonics and behaviors of the pavement creaturesIn S1-S2, Prez and Freamon were seamlessly translating impossible ebonics. There was no reason to randomly make them dumb just to make room for this character. >a large part of wiretap cases as described by the show is just sitting around waiting for things to happenS1-S2 established that Prez was the one sitting there listening. They didn't need a useless coupon clipper there who wasn't listening anyway. >she also shows us that there is a profound disconnect between policing and the street which is a major theme of the seriesHer character contradicts this point. She translates mystery ebonics that not even Freamon knows, which means she's more connected to the streets than anyone. Even though she's just some random middle aged lady>>216048081>all strategies that do not address the underlying problems they intend to solve are doomed to fail, this is how these people are and how they act, pretending that they are any other way or policing them (or teaching them) in ways that do not target their essential and native traits is futileNone of this has anything to do with her character specifically. You're just interpreting the overall themes of the show
>>216049069you asked for reasoning behind detective mammy being added so I provided guesses for what I thought they might have been however far a stretchmaybe the writers thought about having some use for her that they later removed or downgraded, or maybe she did exactly what they wanted her to, which seems to be acting as a living prop in most scenes she appears inconsidering how much of the rest of the show are deliberate choices, I refuse to believe that someone given a speaking role does not advance either the plot or the themes of the show in any way
>>216043538I don't know dat, but I am fat, and that tie is fly.
>>216044347Omar almost took him out, he only stopped cause Mouzone wasn't the one who tortured Brandon
Hubis
>NOOO, MCNULTY, HOW DARE YOU MAKE THE POLICE DO OUR JOBS!?>YOU'RE A GAPING ASSHOLE! WE JUST WANT THE CRIMES TO REMAIN UNSOLVED!!McNulty never did anything wrong. The system was fucked
>>216050445Nobody paid for those crimes to be solved
>>216050445mcnulty's actions often got either himself or his friends screwed over, like bunk catching the eastern european jane doe hooker whodunnitor kema being pulled off of a triple homicide to work his fake serial killer casehe is always correct in his assessment of the situation, but his judgement is awful, the system being fucked is precisely why his actions were always wrongif everything is broken, no amount of effort, good policework, or rat behavior is going to get it fixed
>>216049069Prez was gone you fucking retard. You are literally too dumb to understand a show about niggers where the information you are looking for is spoonfed to you IF YOU ACTUALLY PAY ATTENTION AND DON'T SCROLL GRINDR ON YOUR FUCKING IPHONE WHILE ALSO LOOKING FOR UNDERAGE KIDS TO GROOM ON ROBLOX WHILE YOU ARE WATCHING IT YOU GODDAMN MOUTH BREATHING TROGLODYTE. Holy shit.
>>216050527well boohoo, no one ever gets paid enough, now go solve the case, pig
>>216050557Those crimes aren't the jobIt's the crime the boss wants you to solve not the ones you want to solve
>>216050568they aren't the job because everyone in the police is silent about them. like seeing the decaying corpse on the street but keeping your mouth shut about it
>>216050547ntacalm down goyim, prez is still active in the service in the early parts of season 3 and freamon doesnt go anywhere, anon has valid criticisms of the fat black lady
>>216050621WRONG.
>>216050538>if everything is broken, no amount of effort, good policework, or rat behavior is going to get it fixedkek. this guys over 30 at least. some smart ass unc.
>>216046765>Why would he pick a 100% dead weight person who does 0 work and just wastes budget?They might not have had anything to do. Theres plenty of jobs where you're waiting around for something to happen and your paid to be there if it does. Like the scene where CIA does his police ride along and visits homicide. CIA asks what they do all day, Landsman says wait for calls. CIA tells them to act natural because he's only there to learn>kima flops her feet on the desk>lester starts doing his woodworking>landsman pulls out his pocket tit mag
this show is 20 years old but things are still exactly the same t. live in the projects
