Above the fray.
Only reason I feel bad about Randy is because he was a foster kid. It felt like he snitched because he was scared of his foster mother giving up on him. The other kids didnt have those fears.
Yep
The writing on the show pointed to a few things

1. Principal knew that Randy would talk and how to press him based on the time he got caught before. Thats why she calls him into the office first after the bathroom thing blows up with cops involved.

2. After the razor cutting in the classroom, Randy says that the girl who snapped was in foster care or an infamous foster house, and that places like that could drive anybody crazy. So had been in the system, and was scared of returning to it.

Better to reign in Hell than serve in Heaven
Yeah they were all brainwashed by the bullshyt. He shouldve been more like the gang rapists, corner boys, vandals, and murderers. :comeon:
ORRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR

cause I keep saying this... He could have just been a good student and gone to class. They didn't keep grilling him to snitch because he was innocent. He was watching out and taking money for something when he should have been in class. He was slanging candy and skipping class.

Where did I suggest this wasnt an option? No kid is perfect, nor should they have to be to avoid having adults all but put a hit out on them...for the bullshyt those adults created and then involved the kid in.

Some of yall need to really look at what you are saying. A kid deserved death and constant attacks and threats because he:

Skipped class
Sold candy
Went along with what other kids asked
Got to telling when shyt got hot

What on that list is not par for the course with a child? We not talking bout a grown man that has made certain choices for their life. We talking about a child tryna figure it out...with limited guidance and resources mind you. Who did he hurt? People that are actually hurting people and damaging the community. Dudes be caping for murder, poison and the overall destruction of the communty without even realizing it.

Am I tripping but wasn’t Cheese in the shop with Prop Joe when he offered to give the shipment up to Omar to stick it up? If he was there and heard the plan why was he surprised when it happened??

He did have an all time funny quote “ The bytch was pulling guns out her p*ssy Unc..the shyt was unseemly” :russ:

I think the plan was to just rob Marlo. Later on as Omar is trailing Cheese he realizes Joe is supplying both east and west side so he organizes to steal the entire shipment

Method Man (and Redman) appeared on one of Kevin Smith’s movies and they reference the “unseemly” line.

Oh I see now. Seems like you saying once Marlo people came to get their product AFTER the main shipment Omar was supposed to rob Marlo.
