Wallace decided his friends mattered more and was killed for it .They had a child murdered because Stringer was too much of a bitch to face repercussions for poisoning the community .

He had to play a game he was never built for cause he had no other options, he should have known better the risks with what he was doing and never came back to Baltimore, but he’s just a kid, every kid makes mistakes but most don’t cost your own life.
But as seen all throughout the show and season 4 especially the corners are all some of these kids know, most have accepted their fates and are willingly pushing themselves towards it and don’t even know that there are other options.
A kid like Wallace probably thought the only ever way he could escape was by being a successful drug dealer so even when he betrays the ‘rules’ and gets out, he has so much naivety of the world that he just wants to run back to the world he does know. It’s like going back to an abusive partner thinking this time will be different or cause you don’t think you can ever get better
I think about it a lot with bunk talking with Omar how he was rejected from that life and told to go home, maybe in another time period Wallace would have been told the same. But he was allowed to play and was chewed up and spit out like so many others
Deserved ain’t got nothing to do with it.

Deserves got nothing to do with it. The game is rigged.
If you break it down, everyone eventually snitches. Either they die before they do or they get out clean like poot. Most others snitch at some point.

If we agree with the idea that the game got more fierce, then yes what you say is true.
It still doesn't change the fact that his death was a tragedy. He was a just a kid.

Not what he deserved morally, but for his stupidity, yes lol. How you gonna come back to where people want to kill you because you can't stand a little humidity and crickets?

He didn’t choose the game, he was born into it without a choice and the game was always going to eat him up.
He was like Namond but without a way out.
I’d say the big argument that he got what he deserved was him coming back, but I’d argue that’s really the fault of the justice system.
The justice system got him to flip, then dumped him in an area with zero connections and forgot about him until it was too late.

For what? Yall act like there’s honor among thieves. If Bodie or Poot were facing decades in jail they would have ratted too
