re: Stringer Bell: Mistakes were made. (The Wire)

Pretty sure it was 40 degree days.

Nobody gives a frick about 40 degree days.

Stringer needed Avon though, he wasnt hard enough. And when he tried to be hard (offing Omar on church day) he fricked things up.

What Avon said to Stringer about being a man without a country, was 100% accurate. Not hard enough for the drug game. Not smart enough for the "bidness man" game.

Actually...I think Stringer was smart enough to eventually be a successful entrepreneur outside the drug game, but the Stringer that we saw didn't yet have the skills or the savvy to do so. Had he lived 5 more years, I think he would have been running shite.

But none of that is really a "mistake" made by Stringer. His only real mistake was the Brother Mouzzone thing. That was obviously a terrible move.

Give me Partlow all day. He always seemed meticulous about his killings.

Yeah, prolly Partlow, though it's tough to bet against WeeBay. That dude was hard.

What the hell are you talking about? With both the above and your previous posts about Avon's errors.

There was this little character called Marlo Stanfield who was both ruthless and ambitious. Do you recall this character named Marlo Stanfield? What was going to stop Marlo from wiping out the competition other than strength?
