Yeah but running up into a Spanish hood aint about the drug game...if you are in a city with "no go" areas for Black people, you are supposed to know that no matter if you are a hustler or a square...those dudes didn't know he was a hustler...all they saw was Black...Franklin isn't some sheltered kid...shit, he been a small time drug dealer working for his uncle...father is a former Panther and is now homeless in the streets...mother evicts people which he sees up close and personal...went to a White rich high school so he can look at his neighborhood from an insider's and outsider's perspective...Franklin should be way too smart to make some of the mistakes he is makings...he isn't some middle class suburban kid trying his hand at street shit...also, why just walk away from a dude who robbed you then was raped when you (or the dude who was with you when yall invaded his house) got the money back? you just walk away and don't think you might have issues from that side in the future?
Its all good though...still like the show...guess I just got spoiled by "The Wire"...look at how Stringer Bell's growing disconnect from the dirty side of the street game is handled so smoothly that when he actually fucks up its very believable
This is 1983 LA Mexican gangs weren't how they are now. Wasn't as many Mexicans back then how it is now. Plus he was told by Bokeem Woodbine about that spot. It's not like he randomly walked up on a hood dope spot. I will say you can't go places solo like that. Need a crew etc doing business. That's in any business you don't broker a deal solo.
