Wtf with The Wire threads? Is this the anniversary of the show or something? OP just watch the boxed set?



.
 
off-topic but I got to watching the best moments of the wire on youtube and I got to thinking does Bodie get a pass for snitchin even though he paid the price I still rock with him for some reason but if you in that lifestyle who are you to decide how another kingpin handles his business if lex and little Kevin didn't get popped would he still be alive? because if he stayed solid for a month longer Marlo fell and was in reach to take out.

and how come Bodie never rose to a higher level on the street he had the time put in and he was willing to kill I think he could have been some type of lieutenant in prop joes crew or any of the other kingpin's crew part of the co-op...
 
Nah Bodie was a pawn that never made it to the other side.

Chris needs to be on the list. He was the brains and muscle of Marlo's organization.
Bodie stayed alive in a fucked up game. He was a smart & loyal soldier on the street to the Barksdale crew. You need people like Bodie on the street if you are running an enterprise. Even though he never got off the corner he was respected and played his position well. Self preservation was his game. He beat the cops at their game even Mcnulty had to respect him. He was never a good mix with The Stanfield crew so it was only inevitable that when they took over his days were numbered.
 
Kima and Herc shouldn't be on the list

Slim Charles - knew Marlo was causing dissention but couldn't get Prop Joe to see it
Rawls - a snake, but he handled the Kima shooting and worked his way into a better job
Clay Davis's Lawyer- the only person to tell Clay he was full of shit
The Brother who was advising Carcetti
Prop Joe
- smart, being greedy was his downfall
Frank Sobotka - the cops had a hard time cornering this dude
Butchie- knew payback was coming after Omar robber the co-op
Chris
Clay Davis


Dumbest Characters

The security guard talking to Marlo
The dude buying the burner phones
Herc
The white cop that liked busting heads with Herc
Lil Man
Ziggy Sobotka
Valcheck
The D.A. who tried to bust Clay Davis
The guy that killed the Greek's hookers
 
Lester is a good #1, but how is Bubbles on the list but no Prop Joe or Bunny Colvin?

Marlo,he was the only drug dealer/murderer to walk away alive with no prison time,his name doesn't mean much but he could move and live a regular life.

Avon-a pawn
Prop Joe-a pawn who would of been dead or in prison eventually
Omar-he was smart just not smart enough to know kids can be a threat too
Bodie-a pawn someone who would always be on the corner or in someone prison
The greeks-You think they were smart because they were using their white privilage to break the laws.....it was just a matter of time before they cross each other or end up in prison,you are as wise as the people you deal with.
 
Dumb list.

Here’s part was to be a dumb cop that got promoted.

The Greek, Bunk and Clay Davis were definitely top 10.
