Kenard- "That's Omar?" Big scene right here. Omar doesn't recognize Michael, so he doesn't shoot him. Michael steps up and fills his role. Kenard sees Omar's face, kills him later.
@Mr187crimeboss I swear I saw the same thing... that creepy look... anyone think there's a very subtle commentary going on here on what prison "does" to some men? You know, between Mike's dad and Omar?
Funny how Omar calls him sweet pea as if he knew about what his stepfather had done. Maybe he was like Omar in more ways than one. Even after he called him that he knew to address him about Marlo. Real recognizes real. It might have been why he acted funny toward the man with the boxing gym (forgot his name)
@NotGangster100 Namond= Clay Davis...both are great speakers,both with the lines: "I'll take any muthafucka's money if he giving it away" Colvin told Weebay:"he can go alotta places n do alotta things in his life,be out there in the world in a way that didn't happen for u and me"..He's too smart for the corner plus he aint built for the streets.

@Sospiro1209 How exactly can I be more specific than telling you that sentence references the song? Have you checked to see what the song is before posting your comment?
@Sospiro1209 So i'm guessing you're a bit dim. I did type out the sentence in the first post, to which you posted your "huh, be more specific" comment.
Hey everybody in the ghetto, look out for this one legged guy who always seems able to sneak up on people! May look around sometimes and notice when some guy who looks like DMX is limping toward you??
Important scene here. Notice how Kenard doesn't seem scared of Omar at all. Right before Omar's death, all the kids run when Omar approaches the ally but Kenrard just stays there. The kid didn't fear him.
Kenard was just too arrogant as a kid. After his first impression of Omar there's no way a kid like Kenard will be intimidated by him. His first impression was that of someone whose defenceless. That's why first impressions are very important!
Is it just me or would it have made more sense if Randy became the new Bubbles and Dukie became the new Prop Joe. Joe was never hard, just wily like Duke.
@devore504 but clearly we see Michael become Omar. Kenard shows that he would sell out or steal from anyone (ex. Namond, who was his friend) just for his own profit, which is exactly what Cheese did to Joe.
@iitsAsHBasH One of the most interesting things Bunny said to Wee-Bey was that both of them ended up where they are because of the state of their neighborhood. The whole point of taking Namond out of that environment was to put him in a situation where he had more choice to become whatever he wanted to be. It was implied strongly at the end of season four that Namond would be the only one to escape whatever destiny the neighborhood would have imposed on him.
I hated how Omar died. I mean, him being casually killed out of nowhere was fitting, but having Kenard do it, even if it did make sense in context, still pissed me off.
Omar and Mike are basically good guys in a really shitty situation, but they're strong, and smart enough to survive. Namond, Wallace, and De'Angelo were smart but not strong enough. Marlo, Snoop and Kanard were straight up sociopaths.
randy is a young prop joe mike is a young omar except not gay and kernard is a young marlo as you can see marlo did something in his pass to get the respect of his crew. kernard kill omar and he is only a youngster so he will be out by his early 20 back on the streets with a new foung respect from being the one the killed one of the most feared infamous gansters the everybody knew omar. and i almost forgot marlo owe kernard some money because of the bounty he had on omar.
If we learned anything from Marlo's situation it's that past deeds get you nowhere, yea Kenard may have killed Omar just like Marlo wore the crown, but how far did that get him? Hell nobody even believes Kenard killed Omar, by the time he gets out it will be like Omar who?
I loved Omar's character for the entirety of The Wire, but to have him escape Marlo's ambush by surviving a 6 story jump and then hobbling around on one leg for weeks? Didn't make any sense to me. But having Kenard kill him in the convenience store was fine. The fact that his death was unfitting for him made it fitting, if that makes any sense.
@theajroseshow Whats really got me is when I saw an interview with the guy that Omar is based on (well not all aspects he wasn't gay) but he told the story of how he survived an ambush and jumped out of a 6 story jump..crazy aint it...no idea that part was based on fact
Damn I ain"t never realize how Omar came onto the scene @ 0:13 carrying a plastic bag with the heat in it.And I love how he don't do the typical "bad guys don't look over their shoulders as their walking away bullshit" GOOD FUCKING CHARACTER
It's not black and white. McNulty tried to recognize his flaws, and so did Herc. They both failed at it, and it's really only in the last I agree with you that Herc turns to the darkside. Otherwise, he's just as likeable, MORALLY, as many other of the characters.
@rudysmustache Yea I agree. Just like Herc in season 4, Officer Walker, Clay Davis, Royce, Rawls. You are supposed to hate these characters, and almost all, if not all get the karma that's coming to them eventually. Just shows how strong the show is if these characters are recognized as bad, and universally hated.
@myfacesp Well personally I did not like Herc at all in Season 4. His selfishness and laziness got Miss Anna burnt, lil Kevin killed, Randy put in a Foster home, and got Bubbles and Sharrod beat up; which lead Bubbles to resort to the cyanide which got Sharrod killed. So, all told, I hated Herc in season 4
@myfacesp i totally agree wit marco437 herc was an asshole he was the perfect example of a bad cop every since season 1 he was an asshole and jus plainly bad at his job he started a lil riot in season 1 in the towers he fucked up with that microphone in season 2 he hated and ratted on hamsterdam in season 3 and season 4 marco said it best
@myfacesp herc is about as likeable as a condom that's three sizes too small. the dude fucks up every single thing he touches. every. single. thing. he has no redeeming qualities whatsoever except for the fact that he's too fucking stupid to realize that he's a huge part of the goddamn problem. for fuck's sake, he ends up working for the scummiest motherfucker on the show, doing his best to keep marlo ON the street, despite marlo being among the most violent and unfeeling criminals he's ever met
@drone81 Herc screws some stuff up, but so does every other person on the show. The only thing I'd agree with you about that makes him stand out is the Levy thing. You don't like Herc because of some personality quality, not some moral quality. Otherwise, you'd hate a bunch of people, like McNulty, Freamon, Burrel.
@myfacesp name one redeemable trait about herc. just one. even a redeemable act. for fuck's sake, this is the guy that managed to fuck up moving furniture. i repeat, he cannot successfully move furniture.
i could list flaws with mcnulty and freamon too, especially mcnulty (burrell, like herc, is also worthless and incompetent), but the difference is that those two actually make efforts to recognize their flaws and improve themselves. herc is just forever oblivious.
@drone81 There is just as many redeemable qualities about Herc as there are McNulty. Sure, Herc is stupider than McNulty, but he's NOT MORALLY WORSE than McNulty. Remember in the 4th episode, when they run into Bodies grammas house, and they start swearing and threatening her, and then when they realize what the circumstances are, Herc stays behind and tries to comfort her. Herc is a friend to Carver even though Carver betrayed him, although I guess he didn't know. Herc gave Carv the marlo #.
@myfacesp So, Herc is wrong at the end, but beforehand, there are many redeemable qualities about Herc. Even with Hamsterdam, he did what he thought was right, which was hard. I would've handled it differently, but he did what he thought was right. Herc, like just about every other character on the show, is a morally mixed bag. Personality traits aside.
@myfacesp herc gave carver a number, then got marlo off the hook? he feels bad about cussing out a grandmother? that's your defense of this shitheel?
if you don't realize how herc is basically the exact opposite of a decent person and a good cop, then you really don't understand this show. the whole point of his character is to show how a bad cop fails upwards while everyone else is forced to deal with the fallout from his idiocy. he is completely un-fucking-likeable.
@drone81 Well, he gave it to him with good intentions, and then shit the bed there, but no more so than with McNulty or Lester by using it in the first place. And yeah, he had more remorse than Carver when cussing out that grandmother, who you have yet to criticize. Herc has done many good and bad things, like any other character he is a morally mixed bag. So many people on this show are morally mixed and compromised, and IF YOU DON'T UNDERSTAND THAT, YOU DON'T UNDERSTAND THE SHOW,or thatpart.
@myfacesp do you expect me to go through every goddamn character with a pro/con list? i've got 500 letters here. i ain't writing a fucking dissertation.
carver and herc start out in the same place with the same attitudes. carver actually grows into a good cop and a better person over the course of the show. herc doesn't. he's the same fuckup he always was since the system rewards his failures. that is why he is awful.
and there are wholly bad people on the show. marlo, herc, levy, etc.
@drone81 No, I do not expect you to make a pro/con list for every charcter. I am simply disagreeing with your reasoning and listing the reasons why. I think there are some wholly bad characters on the show, I don't think Herc is one of them, I think he's a mixed bag, like lots of other characters on the show, and in the end he goes sideways. That's my final position, and it is obvious we will not agree with eachother here.
@myfacesp instead of a truce, how about i just call you a dumb motherfucker who's so enamoured with the color gray that he's forgotten what black and white look like.
@drone81 I'm not enamoured with the color gray. I know some stuff on the series is black and white. I just think that Herc should be thought of in a gray matter, because it is gray. I don't care if you agree thoguh, I just wanted to call a truce. But honestly, you not listening to reason - and I don't mean agreeing with me, that's just a difference of opinion- but I mean reason as in calling a truce on this, just being stubborn and sticking to your guns, you are being like what you make Herc 2be
@myfacesp a character spends 5 seasons fucking over his friends without even realizing it, culminating in his going to work for the biggest corruption-enabler in the cast. when employed by said enabler, the character actively fucks over his friends' work to keep a remorseless, violent killer out of jail.
yup, totally gray. i see what you mean. that one time when he felt sorry for cussing at an old lady totally changes things.
@drone81 How did he fuck over his friends in the first three seasons? with Hamsterdam, he was just doing what he thought was right. And there are plenty of characters who do just as much shit, (McNulty included) and you don't get mad at him. Herc just has some trait, being bald or fat or the accent, that you don't like. In the 5th season, why that was supoosed to be a shock is because a decednt enough guy went to the darkside. Hercs been a good guy except for inseason 5. Gray as a tomb.
@drone81 So you can try to gather all his flaws in the first 4 sesason and be an irrational person, responding with emotion, but he is gray, as gray as McNulty or Lester. Sorry someone with similar traits to him abused or harrassed you, but he's no bigger a dick than any other character. Now, you're not gonna agree with me, so let's just end this, okay? No snide comments, nothing.
Is Kenard the same kid who played Bunk's son at dinner with McNulty who wants to be a neurosurgeon? Then in season 4 in the "special ed" class the same kid who says he wants to be a neurosurgeon?
I like how the camera focuses on Kenard. Two things you see here. He is NOT impressed by Omar and His killer instinct is established.
Funny thing is that in earlier scenes he is hero worshiping Omar with a group of friends. I guess seeing Omar limping like a gimp shattered his thoughts on Omar's badassery.
alright the thing about omars death is when kenard walked in the store omar had his hand on his shotty looked to the door cause he heard it open and was like oh its just a youngin and then blaam that pussy bitch shot him in the back of the head.
The thing about Kernard killing Omar is that it was the only kind of death Omar could have. Did anyone honestly expect him to quickdraw duel Marlo while surrounded by Doves? Omar deserved better, but that's precisely the point.
Besides which Omar died like so many others like him. Wild Bill Hickok was the fastest, deadliest gunfighter in the West, until an absolute nobody shot him in the back of the head over bullshit..
@nonnynay 100% agree, it's almost a creative choice that acknowledges him as the best at what he does and he almost HAS to do since it's who he is. It's basically like no one can kill him, but a character like him has to do so you do it in irony and the only way that makes sense.
@nonnynay yeah its when hes completely off guard and he aint never expecting some little kid to run up on him with the nine. it would have been sweet to see omar never die, especially as the main character he portrays in real life did not die (Donnie Andrews).
@Trandana to tell u da truth omar wasnt caught off gaurd. when the door opened and omar looked over he saw dat kenard was pointin da gun at him. but being who he is omar didnt think kenard had da balls to kill him. so maybe in death omar realized that he truly wasnt invincible
@nonnynay True that, he was never gonna go out in a blaze of glory! Although I was still shocked when it happened. I couldn't believe he'd get killed but a little hopper, just standing in a shop not knowing what hit him. But that's The Wire for you as you said. Omar played the game and in the end paid the ultimate price.
From What ive seen...it seemed to me that most of the younger characters showed signs of most of the older charcters....
Namond - Young Calvin
Randy - Young Marlo
Dukie - Young Bubbles
Wallace - Young D'Angelo
Michael - Young Omar
I think this illustrated the fact that every generation maybe different however the personalities and aura of some characters will always remain in the game.
@nman06 He wasn't like Marlo in season 4 certainly, but look at him in season 5. There's no way Randy could ever survive in that group home without becoming a violent sociopath. Remind you of anyone?
@Secret911 If anything Randy would have been a younger Prop Joe, selling the candy at school and what not. He was apparently related to Prop Joe aswell via Cheese so it sort of figures.
@amercali Randy could have been Prop Joe. He was headed to be a better man. Situation came, and he ended up a worse man. Randy had the good beat out of him. How do I think he ended up? Just a gangster I guess.
Basically Randy towards the end became very bitter + angry + started becomng aggresive towards others. Someone like marlo who is ruthless + has no sympathy, is the kind of person that had a bad upbringing and was bullied as a youngster which is why power, control and his name is so important to him.
Randy is showing signs of this by first being bullied, and now becoming more ruthless and looking out for himself, in the future his frustration could develop into a marlo.
@Secret911 aight, i kind of agree with you, though the other generational correlations were more obvious....whereas your randy/marlo comparison isn't really as clear cut as the other ones, so u could be wrong, could be right.....i think, from what you said, randy seems more like a young(er) bodie than marlo, we never really got into marlo's past (though we know chris prob got molested as a child since he took that michaels dad beating so personal)
@Secret911 You're basing the randy / marlo connection on one short scene with Bunk. Theres absolutely no evidence that marlo ever had a good bone in his body like randy originally did, nor if there evidence of randy wanting to rule or be the king of anything, ever. Al lthat scene serves to do is show that Prez's fears for what would happen to randy were confirmed, that due to talking to the cops his life (on his advice) he was now lost in the system, bitter and angry. like 100s of others
@kfarb123 Randy becomes an absolute hard-ass in season 5 I think, you see it when Bunk is interviewing him at the group home. Perhaps Marlo had the same kind of abusive childhood?
The real kid version of marlo was kenard. If u look back, one episode when kenard takes all the stash for him self, when namond like tell me what happend or, and kenard was like or what gumpy ass motherfucka? Then he gets slapped up by michael. Ull see already that this nigga's psycho fo real. And then he just keep chillin with mike. And after poppin omar, that's when u will get confirmed that kenard is cold ass mothafucka just like marlo was from scratch!
@TheHawkdaddy remember how seriously marlo took it when omar was ringing his name in the streets? Chris didn even tell him at first and kind of got mad at monk when monk told marlo, it seemed like marlo had a little history of ppl running his name in there mouths ( kind of like randy with the snitching ) which could have explained why marlo was so ruthless,and why he wanted to conquer every thing, and be known as the king. And at the last scene with randy you see him pushing around youngins
@alaskacity you know that.. spider was funny... when he goes to dukie that time ... ''rare day on the corner huh?'' lol not as good as when prop joe talks about marlo '' and out of respect for that mans skill set im gonna take myself out of baltimore for a little bit''
@charliesilcox lol yeah, prop joe had some hilarious lines and quotes. him and omar should have been kept alive to last episode. i wanted to see a big old western style shoot out between omar vs malros v prop joe, that would have been a epic finale.
can i see the full serie somewhere?

It's not black and white. McNulty tried to recognize his flaws, and so did Herc. They both failed at it, and it's really only in the last I agree with you that Herc turns to the darkside. Otherwise, he's just as likeable, MORALLY, as many other of the characters.

I see a bunch of comments talking about how much they hate Kenard. He wasn't supposed to be liked.

@rudysmustache Yea I agree. Just like Herc in season 4, Officer Walker, Clay Davis, Royce, Rawls. You are supposed to hate these characters, and almost all, if not all get the karma that's coming to them eventually. Just shows how strong the show is if these characters are recognized as bad, and universally hated.

@marco437 You are not supposed to hate Herc and more than McNulty or Freamon. Herc is likable.
myfacesp 7 months ago
@myfacesp Well personally I did not like Herc at all in Season 4. His selfishness and laziness got Miss Anna burnt, lil Kevin killed, Randy put in a Foster home, and got Bubbles and Sharrod beat up; which lead Bubbles to resort to the cyanide which got Sharrod killed. So, all told, I hated Herc in season 4

@myfacesp herc is about as likeable as a condom that's three sizes too small. the dude fucks up every single thing he touches. every. single. thing. he has no redeeming qualities whatsoever except for the fact that he's too fucking stupid to realize that he's a huge part of the goddamn problem. for fuck's sake, he ends up working for the scummiest motherfucker on the show, doing his best to keep marlo ON the street, despite marlo being among the most violent and unfeeling criminals he's ever met
drone81 7 months ago
@drone81 Herc screws some stuff up, but so does every other person on the show. The only thing I'd agree with you about that makes him stand out is the Levy thing. You don't like Herc because of some personality quality, not some moral quality. Otherwise, you'd hate a bunch of people, like McNulty, Freamon, Burrel.
myfacesp 7 months ago
@myfacesp name one redeemable trait about herc. just one. even a redeemable act. for fuck's sake, this is the guy that managed to fuck up moving furniture. i repeat, he cannot successfully move furniture.
i could list flaws with mcnulty and freamon too, especially mcnulty (burrell, like herc, is also worthless and incompetent), but the difference is that those two actually make efforts to recognize their flaws and improve themselves. herc is just forever oblivious.
drone81 7 months ago
@drone81 There is just as many redeemable qualities about Herc as there are McNulty. Sure, Herc is stupider than McNulty, but he's NOT MORALLY WORSE than McNulty. Remember in the 4th episode, when they run into Bodies grammas house, and they start swearing and threatening her, and then when they realize what the circumstances are, Herc stays behind and tries to comfort her. Herc is a friend to Carver even though Carver betrayed him, although I guess he didn't know. Herc gave Carv the marlo #.
myfacesp 6 months ago
@myfacesp So, Herc is wrong at the end, but beforehand, there are many redeemable qualities about Herc. Even with Hamsterdam, he did what he thought was right, which was hard. I would've handled it differently, but he did what he thought was right. Herc, like just about every other character on the show, is a morally mixed bag. Personality traits aside.
myfacesp 6 months ago
@myfacesp herc gave carver a number, then got marlo off the hook? he feels bad about cussing out a grandmother? that's your defense of this shitheel?
if you don't realize how herc is basically the exact opposite of a decent person and a good cop, then you really don't understand this show. the whole point of his character is to show how a bad cop fails upwards while everyone else is forced to deal with the fallout from his idiocy. he is completely un-fucking-likeable.
drone81 6 months ago
@drone81 Well, he gave it to him with good intentions, and then shit the bed there, but no more so than with McNulty or Lester by using it in the first place. And yeah, he had more remorse than Carver when cussing out that grandmother, who you have yet to criticize. Herc has done many good and bad things, like any other character he is a morally mixed bag. So many people on this show are morally mixed and compromised, and IF YOU DON'T UNDERSTAND THAT, YOU DON'T UNDERSTAND THE SHOW,or thatpart.
myfacesp 6 months ago
@myfacesp do you expect me to go through every goddamn character with a pro/con list? i've got 500 letters here. i ain't writing a fucking dissertation.
carver and herc start out in the same place with the same attitudes. carver actually grows into a good cop and a better person over the course of the show. herc doesn't. he's the same fuckup he always was since the system rewards his failures. that is why he is awful.
and there are wholly bad people on the show. marlo, herc, levy, etc.
drone81 6 months ago
@drone81 No, I do not expect you to make a pro/con list for every charcter. I am simply disagreeing with your reasoning and listing the reasons why. I think there are some wholly bad characters on the show, I don't think Herc is one of them, I think he's a mixed bag, like lots of other characters on the show, and in the end he goes sideways. That's my final position, and it is obvious we will not agree with eachother here.
So let us just call a truce.
myfacesp 6 months ago
@myfacesp instead of a truce, how about i just call you a dumb motherfucker who's so enamoured with the color gray that he's forgotten what black and white look like.
drone81 6 months ago
@drone81 I'm not enamoured with the color gray. I know some stuff on the series is black and white. I just think that Herc should be thought of in a gray matter, because it is gray. I don't care if you agree thoguh, I just wanted to call a truce. But honestly, you not listening to reason - and I don't mean agreeing with me, that's just a difference of opinion- but I mean reason as in calling a truce on this, just being stubborn and sticking to your guns, you are being like what you make Herc 2be
myfacesp 6 months ago
@myfacesp a character spends 5 seasons fucking over his friends without even realizing it, culminating in his going to work for the biggest corruption-enabler in the cast. when employed by said enabler, the character actively fucks over his friends' work to keep a remorseless, violent killer out of jail.
yup, totally gray. i see what you mean. that one time when he felt sorry for cussing at an old lady totally changes things.
get real, shitbird.
drone81 6 months ago
@drone81 How did he fuck over his friends in the first three seasons? with Hamsterdam, he was just doing what he thought was right. And there are plenty of characters who do just as much shit, (McNulty included) and you don't get mad at him. Herc just has some trait, being bald or fat or the accent, that you don't like. In the 5th season, why that was supoosed to be a shock is because a decednt enough guy went to the darkside. Hercs been a good guy except for inseason 5. Gray as a tomb.
myfacesp 6 months ago
@drone81 So you can try to gather all his flaws in the first 4 sesason and be an irrational person, responding with emotion, but he is gray, as gray as McNulty or Lester. Sorry someone with similar traits to him abused or harrassed you, but he's no bigger a dick than any other character. Now, you're not gonna agree with me, so let's just end this, okay? No snide comments, nothing.

I like how the camera focuses on Kenard. Two things you see here. He is NOT impressed by Omar and His killer instinct is established.
Funny thing is that in earlier scenes he is hero worshiping Omar with a group of friends. I guess seeing Omar limping like a gimp shattered his thoughts on Omar's badassery.

alright the thing about omars death is when kenard walked in the store omar had his hand on his shotty looked to the door cause he heard it open and was like oh its just a youngin and then blaam that pussy bitch shot him in the back of the head.
point is omar had a code other people didnt
Levination 10 months ago 2
The thing about Kernard killing Omar is that it was the only kind of death Omar could have. Did anyone honestly expect him to quickdraw duel Marlo while surrounded by Doves? Omar deserved better, but that's precisely the point.
Besides which Omar died like so many others like him. Wild Bill Hickok was the fastest, deadliest gunfighter in the West, until an absolute nobody shot him in the back of the head over bullshit..
nonnynay 10 months ago 38
@nonnynay 100% agree, it's almost a creative choice that acknowledges him as the best at what he does and he almost HAS to do since it's who he is. It's basically like no one can kill him, but a character like him has to do so you do it in irony and the only way that makes sense.
Maj0ra 10 months ago
@nonnynay yeah its when hes completely off guard and he aint never expecting some little kid to run up on him with the nine. it would have been sweet to see omar never die, especially as the main character he portrays in real life did not die (Donnie Andrews).

@Trandana to tell u da truth omar wasnt caught off gaurd. when the door opened and omar looked over he saw dat kenard was pointin da gun at him. but being who he is omar didnt think kenard had da balls to kill him. so maybe in death omar realized that he truly wasnt invincible

@nonnynay True that, he was never gonna go out in a blaze of glory! Although I was still shocked when it happened. I couldn't believe he'd get killed but a little hopper, just standing in a shop not knowing what hit him. But that's The Wire for you as you said. Omar played the game and in the end paid the ultimate price.

From What ive seen...it seemed to me that most of the younger characters showed signs of most of the older charcters....
Namond - Young Calvin
Randy - Young Marlo
Dukie - Young Bubbles
Wallace - Young D'Angelo
Michael - Young Omar
I think this illustrated the fact that every generation maybe different however the personalities and aura of some characters will always remain in the game.

ChrisDSingh87 5 months ago
@ChrisDSingh87
Yo singh,
Basically Randy towards the end became very bitter + angry + started becomng aggresive towards others. Someone like marlo who is ruthless + has no sympathy, is the kind of person that had a bad upbringing and was bullied as a youngster which is why power, control and his name is so important to him.
Randy is showing signs of this by first being bullied, and now becoming more ruthless and looking out for himself, in the future his frustration could develop into a marlo.
Secret911 5 months ago
@Secret911 aight, i kind of agree with you, though the other generational correlations were more obvious....whereas your randy/marlo comparison isn't really as clear cut as the other ones, so u could be wrong, could be right.....i think, from what you said, randy seems more like a young(er) bodie than marlo, we never really got into marlo's past (though we know chris prob got molested as a child since he took that michaels dad beating so personal)
ChrisDSingh87 5 months ago
@Secret911 You're basing the randy / marlo connection on one short scene with Bunk. Theres absolutely no evidence that marlo ever had a good bone in his body like randy originally did, nor if there evidence of randy wanting to rule or be the king of anything, ever. Al lthat scene serves to do is show that Prez's fears for what would happen to randy were confirmed, that due to talking to the cops his life (on his advice) he was now lost in the system, bitter and angry. like 100s of others

The real kid version of marlo was kenard.

Then he gets slapped up by michael. Ull see already that this nigga's psycho fo real. And then he just keep chillin with mike. And after poppin omar, that's when u will get confirmed that kenard is cold ass mothafucka just like marlo was from scratch!

@TheHawkdaddy remember how seriously marlo took it when omar was ringing his name in the streets? Chris didn even tell him at first and kind of got mad at monk when monk told marlo, it seemed like marlo had a little history of ppl running his name in there mouths ( kind of like randy with the snitching ) which could have explained why marlo was so ruthless,and why he wanted to conquer every thing, and be known as the king. And at the last scene with randy you see him pushing around youngins
