  Deangelo never asked Poot or Bodie where Wallace was.

  Poot went through all the drama just to do what he should've done at first, get a JOB 😂😂😂

  I think everyone is missing out on the true cost of Poot killing Wallace. Every episode after Wallace bites the dust Poot&apos;s hairline progressively retreats further and further from his forehead. Clearly, the stress of killing his best friend cost him his hairline. For such a ladies man, a hairline pushed back that far is a death sentence. It happens slowly too, like cancer that takes and takes and takes until there&apos;s nothing left but forehead...<br>When he&apos;s working at the end you see a truly broken man that would have wished to trade places with Wallace or Bodie to leave a corpse with a respectable hairline.

  The wire is about systems. those who get “happy endings” are those who dont try to change the system but themselves

  My dude, when poot says to just do it already they are all crying and Wallace is being tortured by Bodie because Bodie is looking for some sort of satisfactory response from Wallace.<br>Bodie had been talking down to Wallace like Wallace was still a child and it makes it pretty obvious they are all just children.<br>They are all the same age and grew up together. &nbsp;Bodie acted the hardest and didn&apos;t question the order he received the way poot did.<br>The tension in the scene as Wallace sits there crying to his childhood friends for mercy and Bodie just can&apos;t pull the trigger needed to be broken.<br><br>Poot said to do it if you&apos;re going to do it because they either needed to not do it and let Wallace live or get it over with so they all don&apos;t have to keep standing in that incredibly painful moment.<br>We see Wallace be emotional in a bunch of scenes but that one is him at his most painful.<br>The torment for Wallace as he stood there was what made poot say something.<br>It was mercy and none of them had a real choice.<br><br>The three of them knew nothing but the baltimore streets which is why Wallace came back. &nbsp;Bodie only ever left the city 2 times in his whole life. &nbsp;They were all children just like the season 4 kids were children and their ledgers are not anywhere near as heavy as the grown ass man that ordered a child to kill his friend as a precaution. &nbsp;If Bodie and poot just let Wallace go then they would be in trouble and weebay or someone else would get Wallace. &nbsp;If they warned Wallace then they would be on the run too. &nbsp;Trying to survive in the world with nothing and no education at all.<br><br>Poot was just a victim of the streets that survived the broken system and the criminal system.

  Bodie committed suicide <br>His act was not bravery <br>It was ignorance and led to his death because he couldn’t do himself

  I never thought Bodie killed anyone, because he didn’t kill anyone. Bodie got tired and created a narrative to end his own life

  The Wire wasn&apos;t a grand tale ending in everyone getting their comeuppance; its was a fairly realistic take on the lives of people involved in the game.<br>People like Poot really do exist.<br>They did some dirty work, and still managed to get out.<br>He has to carry that weight

  Wallace deserved to die. <br>Poot wasn&apos;t the manager. He was still just a worker

  It was Poot that saw Brandon &quot;down the Greeks&quot; first... he then told Wallace &amp; Wallace made the phone call...

  I always took that as Poot taking a shot so they were in that together. 🤷🏻‍♂️

  Poop should’ve been six foot under not Bodie. He instigated the Wallace shooting and ran like a scared chicken. When Bodie needed him the most.
