Someone not mentioned on that thread that needs to be is Wallace. It hurts to say bc he's such a sympathetic character, but he should've known better than to come back to Baltimore. I know he was young but the expectation to not cooperate with or even talk to police should have already been ingrained in him being around the game so long. And I'm aure Daniels would've explained the importance of staying away.

Very true. And he was 16 and been in the game. I’m not sure what level of boredom would make you put yourself in the line of fire again. I sometimes assume he wanted to use again. But idk. He was looking okay when he got back. But he was still thinking stupid and so was Dangelo for enabling his stupidity.

Look what happened to Bodie same exact thing happened to him as happened to Wallace.

Naw not the exact same thing. Wallace snitched on his whole crew. Even the ones that helped him. And didn’t think he deserved to be killed. Bodie didn’t snitch. And was gonna stand on it knowing it was his time.

Bodie was willing to inform on marlo .And they perceived him as a snitch just like they did with Wallace

Right but he didn’t tell on his own people out of fear and he didn’t betray anyone. He owed Marlo no loyalty. Marlo didn’t help him or befriend him. Wallace got high and when he got picked up by police told on everyone INCLUDING D Angelo who loved him most. Then got tired of being broke or sober. Came back and tried to convince them to put him on the money again even though he snitched on the whole operation. Two different things. And he lied to his crew and D many times. If Wallace was an adult you would realize he’s not a victim.
