  • At his copy shop, Bell reluctantly phones the Western District police. Colvin tells McNulty that an informant has revealed the location of Avon's waterfront condo; he resists McNulty's attempts to find out more information about the informant, who is actually Bell... Stringer tells Colvin that he came to him because of his reputation as the man who created Hamsterdam. He tells Colvin about Avon's wartime safehouse and gives him the address.

    Brother Muozone and Omar catching up to Stinger was the best case scenario..how long did he think he would survive in the game being a known rat!?He didn't have the Greeks' connections! They dropped dimes on their enemies,but hid it better. No way Avon was going to get arrested again,and Stringer stay free!

    • @pharaohsmagician8329
      @pharaohsmagician8329 6 дней назад +1

      Still tho, even after he took out Stringer, Avon said Stringer was right about all of this. Dropping bodies ain't worth it.
      But that too was Stringers fault. He tried to break free from the crime game without taking out the enemies that would hunt them down. If you live by the sword you'll die by it. They should have took out Marlo early to protect themselves instead of thinking they can break free from the consequences of the game while still stepping halfway inside of it. They can only act clean after they've become clean and his partner Avon never wanted to go clean. So Stringer needed to isolate himself fully but he didn't do so and kept one foot in. He played away games instead of commiting to the business life and going away from crime! He could have been very successful. But as far as life goes, every man dies some day. Stringer lived the best life way better than 90% of Kings and died like a Man too that's good enough for a Man's story. Successful beyond anything and he made Avon too. Without Stringer the Barksdale were nothing but another Marlo

      Way deeper then that on Avons Part. when brother Mazone came to talk to Avon he was there about to kill him as well.

      @stevenlovejoy6838 7 дней назад

      ​@@PeterT-i1w that's what I thought too but Bunny and String are in two different age groups so it's unlikely they grew up together.
      My theory is that String helped Bunny put away all the Westside players that the Barksdale organization were fighting during Avon's rise to power. Essentially it's a similar situation to the real life case of Whitey Bulger, a mob boss who was an informant for the FBI and helped them arrest his rivals in exchange for his gang being overlooked by the authorities.
      I think it makes sense only because String is a dirty player of the game and has shown he's willing to do whatever it takes to win. Also, String and Bunny both want to limit the violence of the game.

      I'm not sure if that's true. Stringer tells Colvin that his doing in starting Hamsterdam is what made him come to him with this kind of information. But its possible that he's done something similar before.

    • @foreignofficeclub5815
      @foreignofficeclub5815 4 дня назад

      They knew each other from before but Colvin doing Hamsterdam allowed Stringer to reach out.
      Colvin is old skool police, same attitude in some ways to McNulty before he went way over the edge.
      They knew the locals and weren't into stats but 'good policing' that probably held some sway, especially with some of the wild ones in the Western who were no less thugs than the actual thugs.
      That is my opinion at least.

    Avon was always smarter than string. Avon knew the rule of the street game. String was dumb to the street game but took an economics class and thought he was smarter. That was his downfall. You can apply economics to the street game and be successful but you have to know and understand the street game to do so. A smart man of the streets would never cross the brother and most definitely wouldn’t use Omar to do so. String down played the intelligence of Omar, the brother and also Avon which in return was the downfall of himself.
