and remember Bodie was killed because it was thought he was snitching

 

[ScottyPiffen745]

Avon was based on a few people including the preacher, Melvin Williams who slang drugs, I've never heard of a real what the real Avon did.

 

[AllBlackMax]

Good post. Should be interesting...I was waiting for the real life characters to pop up. And for those that don't believe he's the real deal just look at the news paper clipping with his photo...

I love The Wire for what it is. They just tell you a story. No glamor no heroes no nothing else. Just a story.

I hope they dont glamorize the real Avon Barksdale in this series. Im sick of this glamorizing gangsters shit.
