    omar...as ruthless as hell was caught feelings over his boyfriend gettin killed after they robbed avon,


    ? did all this ? an get mad at the repercussions

    You completely missed the point. Omar wasn't mad that the guy got killed. He chalked that up to the game. He was mad at the way they tortured him and then displayed him. Omar thought that was a violation to the rules of the game. And don't forget that was the only reason Omar was gunning for Stringer. Remember Stringer put the hit out on him on a Sunday while he was with his Grandmother. That too was a violation of the rules, and Stringer was warned about that. Even Avon let stringer know that there were certain things that even gangstas abided by out there. Stringer didn't really understand that, and broke them at will. As a result, it came back on him.

    but the fact that omar kept robbin avon...he had to prove a point

    He did, and even Omar acknowledged that. Again, the problem wasn't that String went after Omar. It's the way he did it. Remember, part of the reason that Avon felt comfortable enough to betray String the way he did is because he believed both Omar and the Brother had legitimate beefs.

    avon...had to betray string because string broke codes and put avon in harms way. but i think he could overlook that. the main reason is string off'd his nephew without his consent an string thought he was above the code that put him where he is.
    honestly it was only a few ? in the whole show that stayed true to the code....

    avon , slim charles and bodie

    That's not true. Pretty much all them dudes played by an established set of rules, and it was referenced a lot. That's part of what made Marlo so dangerous. He was the first one to come onto the picture and just say "? all that."
