Oh shit I forgot about that. Even though Omar did that it was against his enemy but Stringer doing it against his best friend is way worse

Lmao you defending snitching a bit too much for my liking
nigga said “he only pointed the cops to bird and his gun and where he be at and then testified in court one time!”
It was poetic in a way....
Omar always sees people before they see him.... He always caught them completely off guard.. Watching them, hunting them
.. Even when they were completely unaware.... And attacks before they can defend themselves most times
He went out the same way
But stringer brought a whole criminal operation down because he was upset at his boy for telling him he wasn't built for the streets anymore. I'm just saying one was worse than the other
I don't think that had anything to do w/ AVon/Brother Mouzone or NY connect.
It was more, from the show perspective, a plot device to build Prop Joe's & Marlo's relationship
And also it's the show using "art imitating life" w/ NY dealers coming south to move work. ie. Alpo in DC
We not talking stringer though why bring him into the mix?
And no stringer needed Avon out the way because his methods at that point in the organization were bad for business
You said Omar was king snitch and I disagreed and think someone else is
You taking it too literal I’m just saying this nigga a snitch
wayyy more than randy
In doing what he did the Barksdale's were ended permanently
Their time was up anyways as they were being squeezed out by joe if not for stringer
Bruh, he didn't need NY for anything when he was home.... Other than a connect in the event of shit going left with prop Joe... Which was exactly what was in play...
He didn't reach out to ny to defend his corners after he got knocked... They was Marlo's... So the muscle angle is gone. Avon is war minded... He didn't need that back up... Once he was home him and Charles had it...
The only thing he needed it would have needed from NY was product after he burned bridges with the co-op....which again he was actively doing
Naw, Charles had eyes on Marlo... And Avon was heading there with grenades and fucking rocket launchers.... The nigga was nuts...
The only reason they had the stash house was cuz of string.
The only person they had on the wire was string.
And giving up string would have set Avon up to get dope again with NY
String fucked all that up cuz he got played by Clay Davis and Avon rubbed in his face he too ghetto for the corporate world and too soft for the streets

Come to think of it, you know what's nutty about Kenard killing Omar? Seeing him limp around removed all the mysticism and made him look weak right.. but had he known what transpired and what Omar pulled off to survive that ambush, Kenard probably would've idolized him instead. When the legend exceeds the man in the physical..
What I’m saying is even if marlo wasn’t there, prop joe was still there
Avon coming to kill marlo was before joe got killed I believe
Prop Joe had no desires what so ever to get into a beef with anybody about corners
I’m not talking about corners I’m talking about the product and the reason why stringer and Avon had beef in the first place
Slim, Avon had no drug connect in NY. It was lost in season 1 and confirmed in season 2 when Stringer met w/ ol boy's lawyer and he told him in a around about way that they wasn't fuckn w/ them no more.
I think you coming to this "Avon reestablishing his NY drug connect" cause he mumbled about the "Prop Joe package(pause)" when Brother met up w/ him at the barber shop. That was just Avon thinking out loud at how him, Stringer, & Brother Mouzone got to that point.
Remember in the scene where Stringer come cleans about D'Angelo, it starts off w/ String being mad at escalating war between Marlo & Avon. And Prop Joe threatening to cut them out, if Avon still had any NY drug connect he most likely would have had it reestablished when he got out. But he didn't cuz there was no NY connect to be had.
That's what he offered up Stringer for bruh...
I just watched the shit the other day.... Brother made it clear he could still come to NY for whatever if he gave up Stringer
He says it clear as fucking day
With your rep in tact, you have AN OPEN LINE TO NEW YORK, WITHOUT IT YOU'RE DONE...
Avon knew the beef with Marlo was going to take him off prop Joe package, but if he gave up string to brother... New York still was open.
It's all connected. Drugs. Dope. Open line means open line
