The Wire: I really don't blame Marlo for what he did to ______ *Spoilers*

[Anerdyblackguy]

Nah, I sympathize with Joe. All he did was try to survive and expand his business interest like Stringer tried to do.

Marlo was too demonic for his own good.

-Did the security guard wrong
-Destroyed Randy life even when it wasn’t a threat to him

 

[Numpsay]

Nah, the guard dug his own grave the minute he left the store.

Like Chris said, he was "talkin' back".

He should've swallowed his pride, stayed in that store and continued to earn his $10.50/hr

A security guard letting folks steal out the store right in front of his face wasn't going to continue to earn shyt.

 

[H. Selassie]

Don’t forget Prop Joe helping Omar rob that card game in order to finesse Marlo into joining the Co-op in the first place. Joe started with a double-crossed and got ended by a double-cross. Same with Stringer.

Same way you get em, same way you lose em.

 

[R.E.N. Spells Ren]

Marlo going after prop joe that was expected. The fukked up part was cheese selling joe out.

Exactly. I didn't know anyone held killing Joe against Marlo. Joe should've played his hand smarter.

Sure, he should've fell back to increase the chances of survival, but that doesn't justify Marlo's response.

Do you think Avon, or Weebay reacts like that?

I wasn't justifying Marlo's actions, but the guard should have known better.

Avon's crew aren't much more saintly either. But that's a topic for another day.

My bad, you were just responding to dude's claim that there was nothing that the security guard could've done.

Avon's crew def weren't anything close to saints, but I don't think there's any way they'd murk dude for approaching the way he approached Marlo. At worst they beat him up, but most likely they laugh in his face and keep it moving. Marlo was a fukking sociopath.

def not, but i also dont see avon stealing a couple lollipops like that either.

that was the thing about marlo, he was just an a$$hole basically.

dude pays for a water, but feels like he gotta steal some candy, i guess just because

avon and even prop joe was on some helping the community shyt (aside from selling mad drugs)

the basketball game, the bet that goes with it, that other bbq type even they had when they first see D's baby and Donnette.

yea marlo was giving out money to the kids for school or whatever, but that was really about recruitment, not about helping. he wanted his name to "ring out"

We all know that the barkdales were just as ruthless as Marlo’s crew. Just they were already established when the show debuted.

 

[darealvelle]

Prop joe was a double crosser surprised he even lasted that long on the show to honest.

 

[WhoShotCha]

Prob joe was a double crosser surprised he even lasted that long on the show to honest.

Cause he was a logical man for the most part.

If Cheese wasn't such a fukk nikka he might have been able to sneak out the back door and get ghost.

 

[Methodical]

Nah, there was literally nothing that security guard could've done. Marlo forced that shyt. He was going to kill that man no matter what.

Marlo was testing him to see if he was feared or not but clearly Marlo felt disrespect after he took his L by a bunch of old skool dudes that he played poker game with them. After he eliminated security guy and he felt the power.

Also....the innocent lady mailman when she brought shipped to the store when Chris helped her and murdered her to set frame Omar.

 

[R=G]

That and murdering Junebug's whole fukking family for "talking shyt".....Snupe and Chris slid through and shot everyone as a 5 year old baby hid on the closet. That was demonic.

Some people online Ive read say Marlo moved like a Carribean gangster with no respect for rules or tradition.

Basically a fake mini Escobar. He was the one that checked everyone and made himself the 10th richest man in the world through violence and brutality by ruling the Colombian drug trade with power never before attained by a Cartel leader. Thats the blueprint implemented here.

 

[WesCrook]

We all know that the barkdales were just as ruthless as Marlo’s crew. Just they were already established when the show debuted.

And we did get many visuals of their deeds. We never saw Weebey murk anyone, yet knew how lethal he was. But Chris on the other hand was looked as more demonic because we actually saw him kill.
