    But that's not why he came back. He came back to get out of the country and get back on the money.

    she said... "Im going to call your mom"
    he said... " I know about a murder"...

    Only to lose everything because of Herc...
    If he kept his mouth close he could still be selling candy and handing out flyers

    I don't know why anyone would say Bodie. Out of all yougn's Bodie was the most committed to the street life.

    He was a smart guy, but he's one of the few that was fully ingrained from the start of the series.

    SNitch?
    dude was a 14 year old wit ? on his conscious

    we gotta remember that we still talkin about kids here.

    No, ? that. Back before I watched The Wire and the Stop Snitchin ? merch was poppin I used to SMH @ ppl dissing Randy. Thought it was so ignorant. Watching it all in context tho? That lil ? was a awful snitch lol. Scene in the principal's office, that muhfucka was ratting out a dozen ppl in 10 seconds and ? . If he had went to college, ? help the people who party with him, bcuz as SOON as the cops show up errybody catchin underage and possession charges courtesy of that rat ass ? once Officer Smith gives him the "Date with the Health Inspector" treatment. You adopt Randy, he'll prolly tell his foster mom bout your side ? and ? . I don't want that type of person in my house lol.

    Wallace's death is The Wire's darkest, most tragic moment. But there's a reason that ? is listed under "Idiot Ball" on The Wire's TVTropes page. His ? couldn't adjust to crickets and humid weather because he missed the ? hood so much? c'mon b. BE A ? MAN!

    Bodie & Poot are hood ? who belong in the hood.

    Mike shoulda been a boxer.

    ? was a good person that just gave up trying to fight his toxic environment. He the type of black kid that deserved to switch places with one of those suburban black kids that think they a thug cuz they carry a knife and listen to Flocka and ? . I'd adopt him, even tho there's a good chance he'd get addicted to some other drug imho.

    Bodie and Poot are not kids.

    That were listed as in their early 20's in Season 1.

    They was around the same age as D'angelo Barksdale and Marlo.

    They was college kids age 18-23.

    ? . That kid never had a chance.

    What he needed more than anything, was self-confidence. That's why he always was so scared to stand on his own.

    I would save ? . He had the brains to be something, just didn't have the support. A kid who wasn't mentioned in this thread is Sherrod, even though I feel like what Bubbles did for him was the best it would get.
