Homicide: Luther Mahoney

The infamous Luther Mahoney stops by The Waterfront. Meldrick Lewis sets him straight.

Meldrick's speech:
"I remember when I was first coming up as a patrolman...and my sergeant told me that sometimes, you're going to have to clear the corner. No big thing. Just invite everybody to move on. And for most people, that's enough, you know? The police tell you to move along, that's what you're gonna do. You're gonna move along. 'Cept every once in awhile, he told me, there's gonna be some knucklehead FOOL... that's gonna want to stand there on your corner... talkin' trash. And then he told me, he said, don't you ever, EVER... let no knucklehead stand there. Because the minute you do that, the minute you let somebody shame you, you're finished as a beat cop. And what he suggested that I do... is that I take my night stick... and I pop him upside the head so hard that everybody who hears it knows who had the last word. ... You're on my corner."

[easilyjaded2]

Go to my videos section. It's there...though I don't think it has sound. I'll try uploading a new one with sound soon though I'm afraid my account would get booted!

that one dude has GOT to be related to Makiah pfifer (I don't know how to spell that dudes name, but you know who I'm talking about.) they look TOO much alike.

[easilyjaded2]

It is Mekhai Phiefer (sp?).

Ah the Luther Mahoney saga. The show went to shit after Junior Bunk got shot and Kellerman and Frank left.

[easilyjaded2]

I agree 100%. After Frank and Mike left, it was just empty.

Homicide was and still is the best cop show I've ever seen. No happy endings, unclosed cases, flawed characters and the killers often shown to be just as human. In the UK it suffered from poor scheduling, I first saw it when I got in from a late shift. None of my mates watched it, they're now borrowing my dvds. Felt the loss when I watched the final episode. CSI is good, but it's no Homicide!

One of Clark Johnson's finest moments in the series. And one of those great scenes that make you despise the charismatic snake that is Luther Mahoney (great work by Todd Dullums).

The sneering Luthor Mahoney is IMHO the best TV villain of the all.

You're on my corner.

Holmes had Moriarty. Dick Tracy had Flattop. Batman had The Joker.

Homicide had Luther Mahoney.

Clark Johnson was just magic on that show, I understand he's a director now. And the writing was just superb. A shame people didn't watch this as much as NYPD, which was just style over substance in my opinion.

[spirittammyk]

How tall is Clark Johnson?. Celebrity heights has everybody's height except his, and comparing him to Reed Diamond (6'1"), Andre Braugher(6') and Kyle Secore (6'4), he's what, 6'2"? Either way, I'm surprised at how tall the LOTS guys really were, very few stood under 6'.

[DMA19681]

Coolest TV bad guy of all time!

Luther Mahoney was an AWESOME villian.

For anyone who appreciates irony:

Erik Todd DEllums dad is US Congressman Ron Dellums.

2. Another of Rep. Dellums' sons has spent over 30 years in prison for murder. He shot a man to death over a bag of marijuana.
