KPH you might have something there. Marlo will probably meet his demise by the hands of McNulty. He's always felt somewhat responsible for Bodie's death which is why he's so gunning for Marlo anyway. As exciting as this show is, why are the comments focusing on the predictions and not focusing on the complete ridiculousness of venkatesh's narrative.
Just watched episode 54; turns out Shine was right about Marlo and Prop Joe. Prop Joe is gunned down in the last scene In one of them writer Joe Klein expresses shock that the show's received no Emmys I don't even think it's ever been nominated.
He said something like "are you kidding, it should receive the Nobel Prize for literature". I thought it was obvious, too. No more awards shows for me, ever. This is the best material and the best acting I've ever seen on screen and I'm pretty old.
Inquirer was a great paper when he ran it. Thanks David. I disagree with 4. The FBI doesn't care about innercity crack use. They're much more concerned with terrorism at the moment. As McNulty's brother said in a previous season, unless Osama's in East Baltimore, the feds couldn't care less. I believe he got an A. In the third season, the drug gang's heroin product is less robust, and the junkies start buying from the competition and business suffers. At a meeting of his drug sellers, Stringer uses the themes he learned in Microeconomics: "What you're thinking is that we have an inelastic product here.
But what we have here is an elastic product. Stringer employs the professor's advice: he changes the name of the product a la Altria. Levitt and Dubner, do you watch this show? Last winter, after an Economics of Crime class, I asked Prof.
Levitt if he had seen it, and he hadn't. I begged him to give it a shot Did I have any luck? I enjoyed Freakonomics. I took it on a weekend trip with a bunch of friends where we were drunk the whole time; drunk people kept stealing it and hiding so they could read it.
That's either a great compliment, or drunks like pictures of apples. You know there are some closet Carrie Bradshaw fans in that room They're already wrong on all four having seen ep 2 already.
It's McNulty that's likely going to jail. Marlo is sure to be double crossed by Barksdale whether or not he survives the attempt. Carcetti isn't focused on being a good crime stopping mayor, he's focused on being a good candidate for governor, and the major crimes task force was in service of his ends these cats know the streets but they don't know politics.
The Commissioner thought he could help out Davis by cutting major crimes from the budget, it's just that the Davis investigation survived. Being an ex-gang member and ex-cop in a major city and a lover of "The Wire" from season one, I think I got some cred.
With the programme permanently in place in Baltimore, the question now is whether or not it will be — or can be — replicated in other cities across the US.
Like Ms Mosby, prosecutors around the country worked to thin out the crowds in prisons in an effort to curb the spread of the coronavirus among inmate populations. Both Boston and Seattle implemented similar policies regarding low level crime, and in certain parts of California in and around Los Angeles, prosecutors have stopped taking low-level drug offenders to court. While it's currently unclear if prosecutors will continue those policies once the pandemic has been brought under control, some recently elected prosecutors have vowed their pullback on low-level crimes will remain permanent.
Cook County's State Attorney Kim Foxx has already reduced penalties for minor offences and worked to funnel some individuals facing drug charges into treatment programmes rather than jail. She ran on a platform of reforming the criminal justice system in a way to stop the disproportionate focus on people of colour and mentally ill individuals. Jose Garza, the newly elected district attorney of Travis County, where Austin, Texas is located, said he was also going to turn his focus away from prosecuting low level drug offences.
They may just be the start of a broader wave of prosecutors turning away from minor crime policing, particularly now that Baltimore's data can serve as a precedent. Join thought-provoking conversations, follow other Independent readers and see their replies.

WedgeX Member. Oct 27, 8, Not from Baltimore. Including those who lived in West Baltimore. Oct 27, 28, I grew up in the county, not the city so not really where it took place , but I liked it. Also, why would someone expect the show to reflect modern day Baltimore? It's 20 years old.
SolCJohnson Member. Oct 28, It feels pretty accurate. Any Baltimore natives here that straight up hate The Wire? Maybe it doesn't feel like a good idea to reveal that on era, though Oct 25, 8, David Simon wrote for the Baltimore Sun for over a decade which led to him writing Homicide which then turned into a show also set in Baltimore.
For any fans of the Wire in this thread - I strongly recommend checking out the first few seasons of Homicide. After season 5 it drops in quality quite a bit but those earlier seasons are absolutely top-tier. Dec 22, 4, Nawid Self-requested ban Banned. Oct 27, Less of a thing now because the show is a little old, but when I moved to Seattle 11 years ago literally every single person asked me that.
