The Wire is, w/o a doubt, the greatest series in the history of American television

With words like breadth, scope, and realism, you just took out 60% of the miscers from this conversation.

Never criticize someone until you have walked a mile in their shoes. That way, when you do criticize them, you're a mile away and you have their shoes.

Every thing on the show "Looks" wise, like how the hoods and streets and blocks look is true. The drug parts are true. And with over 300 murders a year you could say the violence part is true. Ive been here for 4 years and Ive never "Witnessed" a murder, but I have seen various shootouts and stabbings. I live on the eastside. My neiborhoods pretty bad but DEFINATELY not the worst. ITs pretty violent out here but overall its a great place to live, just gotta stay on your toes.Originally Posted by KennyK

just like St.louis
it's funny, there was an incident here about a month ago where a group of teens attacked some people at a train station and about a week later, the police just started cracking down in neighborhoods.
literally pulling people off of the street.
reminded me f when Carcetti became mayor. lulz
