The Wire Clip: Avon Barksdale gets shot

[badman621]

Omar was lucky of the power vacuum that happened in season 3, all of Avon's muscle locked up, and they had a chance to get chris and snoop more trained.

[SM87013]

Why was Barksdale in the car anyway? That was a job for straight muscle, You don't see the President flying over to Iraq.

[MistahB12]

@SM87013 maybe he wanted to smoke Marlo himself

[SuperCubanHeat]

"Oh shit!!" "Drive mfckr get outta here!" LMFAO!

[rybobuno]

They didn't know Avon was in there or I'm sure they would've shot more. They just shot because they knew that Expedition was with the lady sent for Marlo

[v12coupe]

green explore takes the win

[wuwear1995]

snoop is a bitch btw

[robertmurray7782]

Man I wish somewhere it explained how Chris and Marlo came up and where the loyalty comes from.

[japplegren]

@robertmurray7782

dont know about marlo but chris was molested as a child, which explains his violence especially when he goes apeshit on michael lee's dad (who he assumed had molested michael as well)

[Shack83]

@robertmurray7782 Childhood friends from the way they talk to each other. Beyond that, for Marlo to have amassed the loyalty of a stone-cold killer like Chris, Marlo would have had to be just as fearsome, skilled, and cold (if not, more so) as Chris.

[BishopOcelot]

this was the dumbest thing Avon ever did in his life... absolutely no reason for him to be on location

[rrrod411]

Havin Chris for muscle is like having Nicky Santoro for muscle

[1XMarksSpot]

LOL @ the throwing out the condom part :D

[dusktilldogs]

Alright what's wrong with Chris. One shot? If i'm him, and i'm driving past a car full of guys i'm at war with, i'm fucking unloading

[RapLibrary]

Avon i hoped every episode he would get murdered, i hated his role man, skinny piece of shit. Its Omar and Bubbles that make the fucking show.

[Spyder8561]

It's crazy...Avon, Wee Bey and Marlo was also in Paid in Full.

Mich (Rich Porter) order Wee Bey to shoot Marlo in the stairway for robbing his worker. "Y'all nigga's are going to looking for work in Queens." LOL

[atmchickluva]

People who say that Marlo is a bitch don't understand that in order to have trained killers like Chris and Snoop loyal to him he had to be a bad muthafucka. Marlo is an enigma so you don't know how much work he put in. There's a Marlo in every hood and they didn't get there by being bitches.

[sliccmoufschalaa]

@atmchickluva Very True

[toneoo1]

THAT NIGGA IN 0:39 GOT HIS ASS BEAT BY BEANIE SIGEL IN THAT FLICK ,PAPER SOLDIERS ,,,LOL,LOL,LOL,,STILL PUSSY REGUARDLESS WHAT ROLE HE PLAYS

[Spyder8561]

@toneoo1 ..He got his ass kicked in paid in full too....Alpo (Cam) Dragged him out of the car and stripped him...lol

[toneoo1]

@Spyder8561,,,,oh shit you right ,,,funny that he only gets pussy roles in movies,lolollolol

[Spyder8561]

@toneoo1 ...I know right...LOL

[PureGlamMan]

Okay, that looked like a condom...and sounded like a condom when it went SPLAT!

[PureGlamMan]

The driver is the one who was eager to take out an entire block after Fruit killed Lex. The ball headed guy.

[PureGlamMan]

0:00-0:02

Chris looks like one of those killer dolls from Tales From The Hood hahahahahhaah.

[china4151986]

what the hell so avon had sex with her with two dudes watching thats some nasty shit

[abctime35]

@china4151986 wtf r u talken about i can tell u did not watch the show she was goin to meet up with Marlo to have sex with him but Marlo was being set up by Avon with that chick she was worken for Avon watch the show before you even watch clips

[china4151986]

@abctime35 he threw a used condomn out the window did you miss that or something

[abctime35]

@china4151986 that wasnt a condom that was the food that they all just order to watch the motel that Marlo was supost to meet that girl in Snoop was in that deli and then told Chris some guys just order alot of food so he watch that guys car and saw them throw out the food from the back window when he was the driver

[bigt2259]

which episode is this?

[big592]

@bigt2259 season 3 episode 10

[gauchebag]

I like how avon is sitting in the right side of the car and the shot comes from the left side, and someone he gets a giant cut in his right shoulder/chest

[tommybrown187]

buckshots!! from the shell u never know where they going

[gauchebag]

this reminds me of the seinfeld episode where keith hernandez spit on kramer.

somehow the buckshots may have stopped in mid-air and made a 90 degree turn into avon's right shoulder

[PeanutButter5]

Ur Makin A Big Deal Out Of Somthin That Is Very Possible, Avon Was Sittin At A Slant Scatters Of Buckshots Along Wit Glass Particles Could Have Easily Made That Happen... The Shotty Was Pointed Pure THrough His Direction :-/...

[PlaceholderName9]

@gauchebag Or maybe Avon was leaning forward. People have been shot almost point blank with buckshot and gotten only scratches, or killed by shot ricocheting around corners. It's thousands of unpredictable little billiard balls bouncing against each other faster than sound.

[iLL271]

@tommybrown187 yeah shell shots expand into little fragments and hitt anything in the general direction...dude sitting behind the driver didnt stand a CHANCE...

iLL .

[sexxyladychick]

avon lucky that dat dude was roght there or he woulda died

[gfag2009]

that's one reason why the wire was such as great show. The protagonist doesn't always win. You just want Omar to destroy Marlo. But they have some little kid take out Omar and Marlo walks.

[gfag2009]

Marlo was a weak leader. Chris and Snoop kept it going for him. He was dumb as a leader, none of his crew respected or liked him. Him jacking his crew and murdering for no reason wasn't good for business. Why do you think Chris and Snoop never told him Omar was calling him out. They knew he was dumb enough to go out on street and try and take Omar out himself. Omar would have eaten him for breakfast.

[G2DaooZe]

@gfag2009

yea the again he dioes have the best killers in the game working for him

[FuuKwon]

WORD THE FUCK UP . WORD UP.

[gauchebag]

@gfag2009 he was so dumb that he got chris to take a life sentence and monky to take a 20 year sentence. he also sold the connect for a much higher price that he paid for it

[abstrakt237]

@gfag2009

No, Marlo was smart. They didn't tell him because his rep and being feared meant everything to him.

[ikosabre]

Hard hitters like Chris and Snoop don't follow someone just out of fear. If you want to talk about stupid, remember how Avon almost went out on the streets himself during the war, even while he was out on parole. Besides what do you mean that Chris and Snoop "kept" thins going for him. He's the fucking boss. He's not supposed to do things himself. Avon never did things himself. I'm so tired of double-standard people, who judge Marlo for something that other drug lords are also guilty of.

[Antrizzle2009]

@ikosabre Exactly. People who talk like that don't understand how this thing works. That's like criticizing a President or King for not being out in the front lines during a war. It doesnt work that way. The show didn't show how Avon or Marlo got to the positions they're in, nor should it have to. I'd think Simon has a little bit more faith in the viewers than to have to spell everything out for them.Obviously these guys had to put in work at some time or another to get their positions of power.

[thaistomp]

@ikosabre , marlo aint gotta do shit if he dont feel like it. he just put a hit on a hatin' ass nigga. lol

[suaveG216]

@gfag2009

you sound stupid ha ha ha ha marlo took the crown right off the avons head.

BARKSDALE WEAK TODAY

[18ou]

the whole idea behind this was sendin a warning shot to avons crew, that they no whats goin on... the stupid thing is avon still thought they didnt no about devonne and must of never got back in contact with her and thats how she got caught...

marlo & chris were more on point

avon smart to... he just under estimated marlo crew.

[TeMakenMatti]

Lol ofcourse Chris knows Avon is in that car..

That's why he waits till he throws the food or something out to see in what seat he sits..

[TBIGMIL]

it was a condom that he threw out!

[MrPoohbeardadon]

0:01-0:02 Chris IS ONE UGLY MUTHAFUCKA, mane. Nigga got that mean mug look like " Im about 2 eat this nigga Avon Barksdale fo' breakfast n dinner mane."

[ShamelessNation]

When cleaned up he's really not that bad...look at the out of character video on youtube.

[Theghot791]

yo did cris know avon was in da car

[thebluestore789]

no, he thought it was just avon's people trying to get at marlo

[RichieRichTheHustla]

yea chris knew avon was in the whip marlo was chillin n the club or bar and a hot bitch hollerd at him they were supposed to go on a date and marlo somehow knew avon sent the bitch to set him up so chris and snoop laid surviellance on a hoe and right when this clip start they see her triflin ass get up out the car that avon was in. Marlo 1 upd avon right here

[jackarf1]

He didn't "know", but he did find it weird that this girl came onto him so fast and so hard. He sent chris to check it out although he did plan on going. One sat in the restaurant, saw 4 meals being ordered so they knew there were 4 people in the car. The girl doesnt come out of the car, she just looks back twice at the car as she passes it by. You can see the car already has 4 guys in it, two in the back two in front.

[Skyhighblu]

Avon yo, My nigga went hard.

[queens4life]

marlo mi fav character in the wire but i fukin luv avon like he was smart and dats y he lasted so long truthfully da barksdale crew at their peak wudda took out marlo and dem ruthless niggaz but da game iz da game and its always the ruthless nigga wh owin da battle...but da smartest always wins the war

[meacetann]

Avon does not get killed, just shot in the shoulder!

[nardo5626]

reistertown & woodland where i grew up at the best childhood memories

[TubeGuest5178]

aVON GET killed???

[partlowed99]

Even when Chris looks a mess he's cute.

[meacetann]

oh hell nawl

[partlowed99]

Oh hell yeah! The dude is sexy. How many people could have that just-out-of-bed look and still be hot? Not many. He could sleep in my bed anytime.

[ANCIENTMYS]

Never dug Avon. I think he's a clown. Marlo is feared bc of how he got where he is. This isn't shown on The Wire but Marlo came up on his own not based on a family business like Avon.Marlo put Snoop and Chris on.His rep was solid before them.

[UnspeakableRX]

it tells you how avon got where he was in season 1, and it wasn't easy. bell and barksdale came out with the towers and the lowrises becoz of a war.

i think barksdale's crew could take on stanfield's in a fight

[trevdiggz]

Avon was RESPECTED and had smarts ,marlo was feared. Marlo could never fill avon shoes. why u think avon lasted so long and marlo didnt RESPECT, NOT FEAR learn the game

[aadadey]

Not according to Machiavelli. And I mean the real Machiavelli, not Tupac

[LawrenceSouljah]

Was Chris meant to be a country boy type charatcer.

[renoi95]

who's told you that he from africa that's what i know!!!

[stunna6264]

GET SOME MONEY

[stunna6264]

[stunna6264]

kinda like i have talent for mopping my dick across your moms face. BOOM!!!!!!!!!! bitch

[stunna6264]

nigga its tv none of this shit is pure

[lousour]

drive by them slow

[Akkeem55]

man chris is a g if Chris wasnt around Marlo would be getting raped all the time Marlo anit shit without Chris and snoop I think the only reason why people fear him is beacuse of Chris and Snoop

[baltimoreson]

@Akkeem55...ummm..duh..thats how it is in the game...thats what ur soldiers are for...guess u wouldnt know

[PureGlamMan]

@Akkeem55

Yeah...the zombie master hahahahaha.

[ashleynjaslynn]

@Akkeem55 yep, bcuz he is way too skinny and frail to intimidate anyway physically

[Daraku989]

@Akkeem55 I wouldnt be sayin all that. Marlo is cold blooded and hes a fuckin sociopath.

[MobHeataEnt]

@Akkeem55 In every crew you got the brains and you got the muscle. You had John Gotti and than Sammy the Bull, Al Capone and Frank Nitti., Jimmy Coonan and Mickey Featherstone.

[LOPS666Orange]

@MobHeataEnt Bad examples on Gotti and Capone...just because they were the bosses that did not make 'em the BRAINS.

Neither Capone nor Gotti were THINKERS they went as far as they did with one thing..THE GUN, once they reach the TOP they both came crashing down. SHIT Sammy Gravano had more brains than Gotti, he murder 18-19 people, was a top earner, ran his own crew, was a millionaire...Local or Federal cops knew who he was till he got involved w/ GOTTI.

[LOPS666Orange]

@MobHeataEnt Carlos Gambino and Neil Dellacroce now that was BRAINS and MUSCLE..Gambino ran his family for years without spending more than a few days in jail..and died an old man in his bed. Dellacroce was one of Gambino's most feared capo/counselor/Underboss...AND HE also had the brains, he was just some dumb enforcer like Nitti.

He could have wiped out Castellano and those crew that backed him after Gambino died..but he was old school and follow the rules, unlike Gotti and Capone.

[MobHeataEnt]

@LOPS666Orange Yeah don't have old schoolers like that anymore.

[jbahadur10]

@Akkeem55 Perhaps what makes Marlo more than "shit" is precisely the fact that Chris and Snoop choose to follow him.

[rog815]

ill scene

[mutualfunmanager]

Chris should have sprayed the truck.

[kasp3333]

Chris is a soldja, leader, tough and smart. He gets the job done and always has his crews best intrest.

[kudzu720]

fuck chris, chris has to kill little kids to get his paper up, chris is weak

[legendkiller79]

he had a shotgun and shotguns can equipt buckshots!

[lilmama186]

avon will be back i saw it on his website. if wee-bay, bird , stinkim, litle man, where not dead or in jail. malo would get killed.

[deadfresh10]

whats his website

[youngprince21]

but hes not

[damikobuffalo]

Even Though I Like Chris and Marlo,Snoop Also My Nigga Avon Need to come back for one more season it wouldn't be right it wouldn't

[kflu42]

Proper english can be used in many other ways. Sometimes, you tend to loosen your words because you don't feel like lowlifes who sit inside their parents home will make critiques upon anything. Have a nice day! :-)

[1984mc]

Avon Barksdale "The Real Boss".....Marlo do what he do too!!

[kflu42]

chris the shit

[liljjjj]

Man Marlo ain't got no peeps to do shit!

After niggas Wee-bay got locked up he was pretty much through, cause we be held him and Stringer together like glue!

[ATOM09]

You talking TV. That shit ain't like that for real. Marlo just a kid. Stringer out that old mob.

[DANGEROUSKO86]

chris is a bitch just like marlo if avon come back the new season say good bye to marlo

[bmore808]

agreed, avon is the realest drug kingpin on the show, but he's not gonna be back in season 5.

[safe10]

Chris done very well but kill omar.

marlo is smart because he knew dat the chick he fucked was hired by avon. at the end he shot the girl twice

[DonV310]

Marlo shot her 3 times, 1 in each tit, and 1 in the mouth

[PureGlamMan]

@DonV310

The triangle...interesting.

[kshock14]

chris handled that shit well. one shot kill, wound avon, then drive the fuck away fast. thats how u get shit done swiftly.

[stunna6264]

fuck chris where wee-bay at them niggas lucky

[SoujiroOkita]

Ahh in A prison cell for life after multiple murders (God really knows since he took heat for mostly all barksdales hits)
