Yeah Joe was a criminal. Yeah he was a sheisty motherfucker. Yeah he's ordered people's deaths. But... fuck man. This scene is tough to watch. Robert F. Chew was a phenomenal actor who really brought a lot to the character. RIP

Boy was always a disappointment

I wouldn't be surprised if more people have seen Two and a Half Men or 2 Broke Girls than this and it annoyed me that this was the case. Then I thought, I quite like that these people haven't seen The Wire, do you know why? They wouldn't have the mental capacity to appreciate it, so they don't deserve to see it!

To think that more people know what "Honey Boo Boo" or "X Factor" is than an 'Omar Little' or Prop Joe still debilitates me with nausea and contempt, I want to vomit in their face!

but at the very end, he leaves the business thing to go back on the street taking a corner... He won't change and will certainly be kill soon after

[Mark Jones]

Marlo's full of shit "Truth is you won't be able to change up anymore than me"

What does he do in the end? Give up the crown, and sell the connect and try to be a 'business man'

Liar liar pants on fire marlo

Marlo won't be able to change up either.

Marlo's top says 'royal' because this scene is where he finally takes the crown.

and that's what you get for trusting new niggas

"Money and blood don't mix like two dicks and no bitch. Find yourself in serious shit." Avon should of took this advice as well. RIP B.I.G and Robert F. Chew

I think him telling Joe that is actually Marlo's way of showing compassion. Marlo and Chris are so violent and evil that they seem to consider killing someone quick and painlessly is being nice to them.

Chris seems to take a perverse pride in getting his victims a "dignified" death in keeping it "quick and clean"
