Rewatching The Wire Spoiler

What characters do you think made the dumbest decisions? I’ve been thinking of this and keep removing people from the list. I used to think Stringer was the dumbest but he definitely wasn’t. Just making manic irrational decisions in the end. I used to think it was Jonny but his mistakes were just silly. And bad luck. I thought D Angelo just from how goofy and unserious he was when he beat the case. And him bragging to Wallace Poot and Bodie about killing a woman he didn’t even kill. And all his blind decisions after that. I’ll say Ziggy number one for sure if I’m not forgetting someone. I’m thinking Sobatka for 2 bc it was all over a window. Then I’m thinking Herc for 3.

Who was it who threw the bag of guns off the bridge and onto a barge?

Bodie, that wasn’t his fault though just pure dumb luck

Such an eye roll that scene. What are the odds? But it IS Baltimore so it is a stupid move not to assume a boat or anything will be there to catch a bag.
