It was an interesting outcome for Poot, but people are talking like he's out forever. Plenty of people quit dealing and get back into it. If Poot lost his job, he could easily follow the advice he gave to Dukie and go back out on the corners.
Poot decided to turn his back on the gangster life. Good for him. :)
I think the fact that everybody he worked with in season 1 (D'Angelo, Wallace, and Bodie) is dead now, and maybe even the time he spent in jail, influenced his decision. I like how he put it, though - "Shit just got old." Yeah, he wouldn't just open up to a casual acquaitance, so he just put it like that.
Still, haha, what a thing to say: "Bang for a while longer." That's kinda shitty given that he turned away from it.
There a lotta of irony in this scene cause everytime i see poot i think automatically of bodie, wallace and d'angelo, how all them niggas got dealth with in sad scenarios.
Dukie never deserved anything he got, If i were to rewrite season 5, i'd have Marlo get shot at the end and as he's dying, he writes a 10 million dollar check made out to Dukie!!
@whatsgoingon07 but that's what the wire is about. it's raw, it is real. and sometimes reality is unfair and people don't get what they deserve. i loved every bit of that show and i'm really glad that there were no happy ending bitches in the writing staff..
@DrivinMeWild09 Sometimes people do get what they deserve. Cheese and Namond are prime examples. I'm not into tragic dark "gritty" endings for the sake of it. They're just as corny as happy endings that aren't logical or "earned." As long as it makes inevitable sense, a happy ending is cool. Same as a tragic end. Like the fact that It made sense that Wallace got killed by his best friends. Even though it was hella sad, The game is the game. But some people do get out. Like Poot
@MrMondayNight360 Go look at the Season 1 when he gets the Couch for himself in the pit lmao!!!. He standing the couch and still cat see over ther backbrace of the couch lmao!!!
Let me help ya'll with Poot so this can be put to rest. Poot goes to jail after season 1. He was a dumb ass and only cared about pussy more than anything. When he gets out he is much wiser. You can tell from the jewels he drops. My favorite.."The world going one way, people another yo". Best line in the wire. Sad but jail provides time to think and educate yourself. Something Bodie never got to do.
@LeBronForTheWin Poot only ran away after Bodie motioned for him to leave. Bodie knew it was his time and wanted to go out fighting while his friend got away.
@mk741 He started thinking much more like Cutty, remember when he got more exposed as a bitch when Bodie was about to be assassinated? Poot was always hesitant and just didn't have "it" in him much throughout the series. The only truly HARDENED characters throughout the series were: Bodie, Omar, Avon, Snoop, Chris, Marlo, and Mike.
@westrrt Charles woulda been one I admit, but Bay started thinking more about his kid and started looking back on his actions and regretted them if Bay was truly stone hardened for the game he woulda forced Namod to be what he really wasn't much like his wife was trying to do but realized "this shit ain't worth it, look where I'm at right now" and let his son go with Colvin and his Wife. So Bay would be one of those who started thinking like a man
@mk741 he was goofy at times but he seemed more like the voice of reason to bodie's hot headedness. he also put wallace out of his misery when bodie couldnt do it. Also the time when bodie was upset that marlo had little kevin killed and poot told him that they did the same thing to wallace because stringer felt wallace was a liability just how marlo thought kevin was a liability. "it a cold world bodie..world goin one way people another"
So, as far as I can remember, out of all the characters in the show Poot and Namond are the only two who escaped or weren't done in by The Game. I won't say Marlo because of his last scene. Did I miss anybody?
@mabey202 Avon ended up in jail by the end of the show finishing his sentence. Poot was the only one alive and on the outside. Bird, Weebay, and Avon are all in the prison.
@shegwin No, I mean survived as in got away scot free. Or survived on the street till the end of the show. He was the only member of the original Barksdale crew not locked up or dead. Not sure how much time Shamrock got but he was (locked up), Avon (prison), Wee Bay (life), Bird (life). But come on, did you really need me to explain that you?
@PharoahsKingdom Maybe people are reading my comment wrong, or I didn't write it clearly. As fas as original season one Barksdale Crew, at the end of the show, Poot was the only one not dead or locked up. All the rest were either in jail or dead. Maybe Avon's sister might count but she really wasn't in the family business so I don't think she counts.
Poot only got out the game coz Bodie got done, but still good to see him doing well. wouldve been good to see both of em get out.. btw, poot was unrecognizable at first coz it was so unexpected to see him, then it hit me lol
This right here is the saddest part of The Wire. 'Doing the right thing' -- walking away from the drug trade and all that violent madness -- means working in retail for minimum or damn near close to it for people like Poot. Unless they're the next LeBron or Jay-Z, that's their only way out: right on into economic slavery. It's not surprising that most of them opt to stay in the game, even if the odds are that they'll end up in prison or dead.
Working retail is not "economic slavery." It sucks and pays little but it's better than the drug trade and I'd bet it actually pays better than the drug trade too, so many boys in the projects want to be drug dealers that workers come cheap. The sad part about this scene is that Dukie wants to get out of the game and get a real job, but there are no jobs available, so he doesn't have any other options.
@Chriseycarlyeah324 Poot was able to leave the game because he was under Bodie's corner. When Marlo called the hit on Bodie, Poot was there begging Bodie to run. However, Bodie went down fighting and Poot no longer had any reason to stay in the game. He had no connections since he was recently released from prison after the Barksdale fiasco and no heart to get back in anyway after his boy Bodie was murdered.
It's a neighbourhood mom n pop shop - they'll usually give a young'un a chance if they come in with the right attitude and show they are willing to work. Everybody has to start *somewhere* with no experience... At least Poot can live his life not having to watch his back. Pooer Dukie though... sad that l'il man couldn't get a fair shake.
Poot had plenty of heart ... but it got ripped up when Bodie got gunned down. And what motivation did he have for staying in the game? Who was there to get his back any more, who was there that he cared about? Remember Poot is the one who was always connecting ("pussy hound), always cared about connections, like his sadness when the towers were taken down.
Personaly I feel Poot was more gangsta than Bodie. Bodie was stupid and reckless, he would have never made it to be a kingpin. Poot could have ran shit if he would have decided to stay in it. He was cool headed and thought about shit, and he was loyal.
Poot and Bodie complimented each other way. They made it pretty far considering bodie was only 19 when he got killed. He rose up from worker bee to trusted lieutenant to running his own independent operation. As even Marlo had to concede he was a rightful hustler.
I don't think it was bad advice, it was the only advice he knew to give. Basically just stay alive long enough to do something different. It's messed up because the Dookie never had a chance. From day one you knew how he'd end up, even when he tried to do the right thing the deck was stacked against him. Sad.
why? he was only lucky twice. you can be that. he ran away when Bodie got shot, and he stod next to Bodie when he fired all them shots. Noone replied until Poot ran off and O Dog killed Bodie from behind. that wasnt a shootout. No one hit anything in the crew fight, so everybody got lucky there, only real luck he had was when Snoop killed the dude next to him, but not Poot.
LOL this scene made me laugh i dont even know why. maybe cause the uniform is so alike the one in footlocker in the UK or maybe its cause of how small poot really is =P
I guess selling sneakers would genereate much lesser money then selling dope, but if you dont wanna risk getting killed at work everyday this was a wise decision
poot was kool except for the fact that he was always talkin bout goin to the clinic from fuckin them dirty hoes...i remember stringer bell got on his ass about talkin on the phone while in the jungle
it was good to see poot off the corner... but poor dukie it was just foot locker but it would have been nice for him to make some money he would not have been fuckin wit that dope head
why not? Some kids hit puberty early on and not to be racist but it's hard to judge how old a lot of black kids are from 13-18. and the actor wasn't that much older than 15 was he?
i know a bunch of white bitches that only looked good from about 13-20, after they turned 21, they were as wrinkled as my nutt sacc.....they must age in dawg years, not to be racist......
Thats bullshit. Its up to the individual if they want to stop selling drugs or not. It different when your a gang member, If you in a gang, then your in for life.
true but most people get caught up and dont want out until its to late, by they time they want to get out shits caught up to poot got lucky he got before he got killed like bodie did. Just ask me i lived in bmore for 12 years.
I think they both would have snitched and relocated .. living more quiet and nice lifestyles.. Wallace might have enrolled in community collage and later in life would have been a math professor
Wallace was mild at heart, that was the reason he got clipped .. Mild hearted people are the easiest ones for the cops to flip, and the second dood I´m talking bout is D´Angelo .. He was ready to give up the whole thing when he saw the pics of Wallaces´dead body remember ?
wallace was a righteous type of dude and mightve been a little too young, but i liked him man i thought that was fucked up for bodie to just do his friend like that
How do you think mike would of got caught up for a murder charge ? How long in his robbing carreer do you think he would of got caught up ? Would you be shock if spider shot mike ?
yeah, poot really was one of the few "success stories" so to speak. i mean, out the game, alive and not in jail (and then working a solid 9-to-5). i'm sure lots get tired of that lifestyle but i'm kinda surprised he didn't have more empathy & try 2 help dukie given he himself can testify 2 what it is 2 want more out of life and 2 actually have 2 go find it as difficult as that is, coming from the experiences he was trying 2 leave behind. so as 4 dukie, can't a brotha get a "keep ya head up"? lol

how the hell does pooy survive hes been through season 1-5 he should have died in 1 of those shootouts
GSp0on1489 2 years ago
why? he was only lucky twice. you can be that. he ran away when Bodie got shot, and he stod next to Bodie when he fired all them shots. Noone replied until Poot ran off and O Dog killed Bodie from behind. that wasnt a shootout. No one hit anything in the crew fight, so everybody got lucky there, only real luck he had was when Snoop killed the dude next to him, but not Poot.

LOL this scene made me laugh i dont even know why. maybe cause the uniform is so alike the one in footlocker in the UK or maybe its cause of how small poot really is =P

I guess selling sneakers would genereate much lesser money then selling dope, but if you dont wanna risk getting killed at work everyday this was a wise decision

why not? Some kids hit puberty early on and not to be racist but it's hard to judge how old a lot of black kids are from 13-18. and the actor wasn't that much older than 15 was he?

in real life when your in the drug game there is no way out but death or getting locked up
djmoneycds 3 years ago
Thats bullshit. Its up to the individual if they want to stop selling drugs or not. It different when your a gang member, If you in a gang, then your in for life.
lischeyboy615 3 years ago 3
true but most people get caught up and dont want out until its to late, by they time they want to get out shits caught up to poot got lucky he got before he got killed like bodie did. Just ask me i lived in bmore for 12 years.

If wallace was living what ya'll think he would be doing now or how wallace would of turn out ?
What yall think D would of been doing if he made it out of prison way before his 20 years was up ?
mrballa23 3 years ago
I think they both would have snitched and relocated .. living more quiet and nice lifestyles.. Wallace might have enrolled in community collage and later in life would have been a math professor
Johnny8109 2 years ago
Why you think they would of both snitched ? you talking about poot anad wallace ?
mrballa23 2 years ago
Wallace was mild at heart, that was the reason he got clipped .. Mild hearted people are the easiest ones for the cops to flip, and the second dood I´m talking bout is D´Angelo .. He was ready to give up the whole thing when he saw the pics of Wallaces´dead body remember ?
Johnny8109 2 years ago
Whats a mild hearted people ? explain that
Yes I remember did they have d angleo at the police station when they showed wallace the pictures ?
Explain how Omar was ? Why did you think Omar was so cold and ect ect because he had feelings as well ?
I knew a guy like wallace in real life
mrballa23 2 years ago
wallace was a righteous type of dude and mightve been a little too young, but i liked him man i thought that was fucked up for bodie to just do his friend like that

like everybody else, you keep on forgetting that Bodie HAD to kill Wallace, as it was an order from Stringer.

Can ya'll image micheal in 5 years he already sticking up people how you think micheal will turn out or the person he would form into ?
mrballa23 3 years ago
Micheal prolly would end up 30 to life for murder not long after his robbing career. He wasn´t as cold and intelligent as omar
Johnny8109 2 years ago
How do you think mike would of got caught up for a murder charge ? How long in his robbing carreer do you think he would of got caught up ? Would you be shock if spider shot mike ?
mrballa23 2 years ago
yeah, poot really was one of the few "success stories" so to speak. i mean, out the game, alive and not in jail (and then working a solid 9-to-5). i'm sure lots get tired of that lifestyle but i'm kinda surprised he didn't have more empathy & try 2 help dukie given he himself can testify 2 what it is 2 want more out of life and 2 actually have 2 go find it as difficult as that is, coming from the experiences he was trying 2 leave behind. so as 4 dukie, can't a brotha get a "keep ya head up"? lol
