The look in Wallace's face at the end says it all. The Wire was all about the lie at the heart of the institution. Whether it's the security guard lying to the prosecutor about the shooter not being in the courtroom or Carcetti getting elected because some random person got killed that he claimed was a witness, there's always a lie. The Barksdale crew is cool, but it's not true that it won't physically torture a boy to death if he steals from it.
avon is still human. MArlo however, is NOT. He's not a Devil either. (a devil act in a smart totally different evil manner) MArlo is just a psychopath(with lot of money) who tricked good hearted but very low life standard Chris Paltrow into feel special, somebody- which no one ever did or will not do.
This scene and music alone rite here explains how The Barksdale Organization was when they was on top of everything....Calm, Cool, Smooth, and Hard. Avon and his team were da Real Gangstaz on the show.....Marlo and his crew were just a bunch of thug niggaz who enjoyed the rush of killing people. They weren't real Gangstaz like Barksdale.
the barksdale crew at full strength would smash the stanfield organization. wee-bey, bird, stink, little man, avon, stringer.
you can't tell me that monk and snoop could hang. bird murdered a state's witness without hesitation. little man shot greggs no problem. wee-bey needs "a scorecard to keep up with your lethal ass" the only muscle that is worthy from marlo's crew is Chris.
@ONILLA99 U absolutly correct...and Avon Barksdale is a real person its funny cause on the show they made two people out of him cause on the street they call him bodie he went harder than this show in real life...way harder!
Wood Harris needs to get some more deeper roles, he has talent. I loved this Avon Barksdale acting on The Wire!! And I was amazed at the transition of Ace from Paid In Full *****SPOILER*******when he got shot in the head.

looking like a retard is cool now?
his mouth was open and his blubberlips were flapping about in the wind while he was doing his stupid crip walk in the courtyard of a freakin bum shelter.
@smokingintherain56 Because, Avon dosen't visit the pit! He only came there to pay homage to a person that, help them capture someone whom, they been looking for with a HUGE bounty!
No its not the creators said that they used an old folks home to meake it look like a project building because the one they wanted to use got brought down
