Brushed metal, samurai swords and "The Wealth of Nations", looks like a nineteen year old trust fund libertarian's place

When he said...."Who the fuck was I chasing"...that was one of THE best lines in the wire. It displayed the respect and admiration he had for Stringer. Yeah Stringer was a big time dope dealer but dude had DEDICATION AND DESIRE. One of the cat and mouse chases of all time...

Everybody wants to talk about intelligence and smarts...Talk Slim Charles! Stringer was my favorite character but as far as the show goes nobody was more intelligent or smarter than Slim Charles...he manipulated every situation and circumstance he was in and outlasted Avon, String, Prop Joe, and Marlo. Give it up to Slim if you can be honest...we all have our favs but be real

@ANCIENTMYS read your comment again and then LOL, how could Stringer think only gangsters do dirty things when he thought he was bribing a State Senator. As far a believing in a persons public persona Clay Davis stayed true to who he was...a conman and a liar and that was his public persona. Street hustlers have no place in the business world just as businessmen have no place in the streets. We saw how far Stringer got in the business world and in the streets!

@ANCIENTMYS Avon was far from an idiot if you see the part where avon got arrested for the final time you would have seen he was about to kill marlo. what episode did you hear avon crew took marlo territory. where did it say Avon crew only controlled the towers. Marlo would have gone to war anyway because he wanted to be the king and avon like prop joe was to big a threat to that goal you need to rewatch season 3. And we was talking about wheter avon actions mirrored a book

[ANCIENTMYS]

@sliccmoufschalaa That's bullshit. Stringer was a smart dude who could have been a very successful legitimate businessman. Clay Davis wasn't smart he was just a conman and a liar. If Stringer had lived it would have been a lesson learned and he would have grown stronger and wiser from it. His problem like a lot of people,including yourself, is being too quick to believe in a person's public persona. Stringer thought only "gangsters" do dirty things and politicians are honest and fair. LOL.

@king78802 Avon was an idiot. First off the corners were never his to start with, they were Marlo's. Avon's crew only moved into Marlo's area because the projects Avon controlled were torn down.If not for that, Avon wouldn't have gone to war with Marlo. Avon just wanted the best corners and Marlo controlled them. Rewatch season 3 because you're mixing up the story. Sending a female to set up a dude is one of the oldest tricks in the book , that's why Marlo was on to it. Avon again was a fool.

@seekisforme5 Mine too.

I'd suggest that the joke is ultimately on Stringer. This scene could well be a reference to D'Angelo's remarks in season 2 about The Great Gatsby; Gatsby's pretense of shelves full of books he'd never read. Stringer saw himself as an intellectual, a progressive thinker, someone with equal potential to the leaders of society. The circumstances leading up to his fate, as Avon tried to warn him, proved otherwise.

@l0Eclipse0l yeah your right about that. deception and planning were the two most important things.

[l0Eclipse0l]

@hayesism Actually Sun Tzu said the most important aspect of warfare was deception. Not meaning to be a dick but I'm pretty sure he always went back to that point. You can decieve without reconaissance.
