For those who aren’t smart enough to figure how to tv works.. the wire was based on a lot of different people and sometimes they used one person and made 3 characters and never used their real names associated with said character but it was a real tale just bent for the fiction of it all.. but yeah this really happened in real life and they brought it to the big screen many times.. it’s a great gritty tale
@uncleraygwuapo7961Baltimore not being #1 murder capital doesn’t mean anything it’s had a higher murder rate than DC and Richmond since the early 2000s
@uncleraygwuapo7961 Just what I thought champ. Don't HAVE AN ANSWER. JUST BECAUSE YOU'RE NOT THE MC DON'T MEAN THE MERDER RATE WAS NEVER HIGHER THAN THE PLACES YOU NAMED. IT MAY HAVE NEVER BEEN THE MC BUT THE MERDER RATE WAS DEFINITELY HIGHER IN BALTIMORE THAN EVERY PLACE YOU NAMED AT SOME POINT NO MATTER HOW MUCH YOU TRY TO DOWN PLAY IT.
The creator of the Wire was a Baltimore police officer in the 80s he became a school teacher. The show is based on his career. His character was Pryzbylewski. The cop who shot his gun in the station, he quit and became a teacher
When they reported the construction site thefts I immediately thought of Bubbles since everyone is commenting about The Wire. 😂😂😂. Bubbles and the white boy in season 1 stealing pipes for crack
It's interesting how people who weren't alive in 1980 or were born afterwards use these videos to determine how bad things were back then if you weren't alive you don't know by looking at this and reading books. Someone who was alive in 1980 and there still alive now can tell you the difference
The real wee bay was only 5'3"..i didn't know it happened in the 80s it seemed like it was more recent like late 90s and they jumped into production..even green Lincoln with vinyl white roof.. they changed some stuff but it's all fairly accurate

4:45 Rackley remained at large for THIRTY-THREE YEARS, living in Oklahoma until turning himself in back in 2013. He still had a six year sentence left to serve which was commuted to a year for which he’s since been released “Anthony Rackley, now 63, slipped away from a pre-release program in Baltimore in 1980 after going to prison at 18 for armed robbery and then a parole violation. He traveled and eventually settled in Oklahoma, where he became a paid Lions Club fundraiser under the name Jack Watson. In November, after a financial dispute with another Lions member, Rackley turned himself in, puzzling law enforcement officials in Oklahoma and Maryland, who couldn't remember an escapee just offering himself up after so long” - WaPo, 2014
Way way worse now nowhere near as dangerous back then in my opinion I was alive. This is normal now back then no and most crime took place in certain sections of the city not all over it
Born & raised and in my 50’s now! It’s still dangerous. My Great Uncle played on The Wire as ‘himself’ say his Wikiquote. “What the fuck you do that for? Now we short the nine”😂😂 And my son played as an extra as well.

1980s and 1990s was a bad time for many people in the black community. It reached it height in the early 1990s. No one could ever imagine that crime would ever reach it all time low in 2015.
If you from down south and watching this on the world news channel as a child. It had you thinking the whole Northeast corridor from DC on up was not the place to live 😂😂😂
It really didn’t. During that time the south was dealing with our own wild wild west shit. We just thought if they think that is crazy they need to come down here.
@@Beautiful_Ashaki that might be true for the part of the south you was in but it’s more than 10 southern states…in small country town in Mississippi where I’m from when crack first hit the Northeast Coast in the early 80s that shit was a shocker to us…when it hit here we started seeing the change but I’d be capping if I say shit was wide open like this 🤷🏾
@@Corrupted_truths I’m from Florida but I have lived in North Carolina and Texas. Your comment generalized the south as if all the south was “a little country town”. So my reply stands we were not shell-shocked about what was going on in DC or in awe, we were dealing with the same stuff during that time. Also, DC is the south it falls below the Mason-Dixon Line.
@@Beautiful_Ashaki the Mason Dixon line was a land dispute between two farmers not a line that separates north from south. You didn’t learn that in HS in Florida and NC?? Secondly 85% of southern states are small rural towns😂😂😂
Informative, straight to the point, doesn't waste a minute. A couple of Gambino mobsters were arrested recently i went on MSNBC looking for more info and was told a lot of surface level stuff that i already knew. I got more info from a mob channel than the actual news! they were reporting as if they didn't know a thing, and the comments were all bitching about Trump who had nothing to do with this story i couldn't believe what i was watching.
It’s even more sad what led to this life. Racial injustice, discrimination, redlining, gerrymandering. In the 50’s, 60’s, and 70’s when white families had loans from the bank to buy houses, and put their kids in college, black families couldn’t do that. Well, they could if they went through the racism. It’s always crazy to me how white Americans forget, or don’t want to talk about that! So these people in this video, I think have a direct correlation with the fact that they’re family, mother and father had a lack of education and resources to put their kids, the men you see on this video, in better situations. That’s the sad part. Have a good day.

Why was the wire so popular?
You are kidding right??
Just watch it
See this proves my point crime has been going on before I was even born 1989 so please Black People stop saying it's the young people doing all the crime 😤🇺🇸🇯🇲🌍💵🤓📚
Crime been going on forever...but each generation has youngings who run wild that's probably why they mention the young folk because those are usually the most dangerous ones
Eugene Gordon got smoked too smh
That's correct. According to what I read back in the 1990's he was shot but survived the shooting. He died not so long ago while in a nursing home.

Douglas bey, that’s WeeBey ain’t it ?
I jut don’t understand why the guy running from the green car while being shot at didn’t think to go the opposite way. 🙄
That guy name is Shirley. That’s got to be a mistake
I mean just like a guy's name could be Stacy, Courtney or Dominique,... I wouldn't want a unisex name leaning to the feminine side but people have them 😅
@@Piffydaily They do. We use to Shannon because of Shannon Sharp. It’s no way I’m going to look at my baby son and say I’m going to name you Whitney, Monica, Shaniqua, Tammy. Like come on. That boy got to go out in the world
@@kennyb.729 Then you go in the waiting room and say Shirley! and 3 old women and a man say who me? Smh
I mean, why would a woman name her son Shirley? She must have some serious mental health issues going on
There are such things as unisex names!!
But what about Eggy Mule?
Locked up. Caught a nickel wit the feds for a pistol
@@prime25 something about that, particular scene made the show for me. Maybe it's how they weaved facts with fiction. Maybe it's because they did the scene so well as actors. Maybe it was the context of Slim having to step up and knowing how ambitious and dangerously patient he was. Maybe it was Avon's catalog of soldiers. And maybe it's even that part where Shorty Boise turned over a new leaf and Avon nodded to say, "I get it".
But that shit was ill as hell to me.
@@prime25😂
The wire
Wtf, they're actually real people?!
Yes they were
Who the hell runs pre-release 😂
