The wire was poetry in action, real Shakespeare. Stick up kids with polite words, gangsters with a business man's acumen, business men with a gangster's acumen, hate that feels like love, love that feels like hate. it was the full package.
I like how the first guy to walk by nodded in respect or at least acknowledgement that homeboy was strapped and not playing around and kept walking. Like "aight I might have been walking too close to this stoop that obviously belongs to a house involved with higher level dealings than the average abode. I will keep walking but still show that I'm aware of the situation and mean no disrespect."
I really don't think this is such a bad scene. As realistic as the wire is, this is exactly something the overconfident and flamboyant Omar would try. Remember that at that point, Omar needed to come up with a new plan every time he robbed a stash house, because word about his plans gets around. And in the end, his plan did backfire, when he walked into an ambush.
@@iorilamia And yet, a lot of The Wire has stuff that really happened. Omar is based on a couple of stick-up boys, who robbed drug dealers, his jump from the 5th floor was based on a real incident, and other stuff like Hamsterdam and cops creating a fake killer, have their real life counterparts.
@@AnArchyRulzz actually you're right up until the fact that technically he did cuss. Because quoting doesn't change the fact what just came out of your mouth. But nonetheless this is a definite pass for Omar. How else you gonna quote the dude lol.
Later in that episode Shamrock says "Cocksuckers even took my watch" referring to this heist. But if you watch closely, Shamrock isn't wearing a watch. I think this must be the only plot hole in the entire series...
Guitarriff1988ii How does Omar know that the ring was drug related? Did he see the ring on Andre's hand and let Andre keep it so he could temporarily hold off his debt?
I don’t remember if it’s an actual scene, but I would have loved to see these dudes explain this to stringer. “How you get robbed?” “Well we literally let him in the house” 😂
Nope, you read it wrong, Omar was interested as in "please tell me who is this "Barksdale" cause if his shit is good, Imma going to be targeting & robbing more joints of his"
sorry both of you guys are wrong. Omar was robbing barksdale in season 1-so he knew his "identity".. "Do tell" is basically saying "you don't say" in a sarcastic tone....
imagine being one of those dudes coming down the stairs, and finding motherfuckin omar there robbing them, while sitting in a wheelchair, dressed like an old man lol
