The Wire Season 1 Mafia: Baltimore Police and Omar Victory!

[Justin Playfair]

Hey DGB! Long time no see.

Maybe about Wallace, but I was thinking D'Angelo if we had a traitor. And given the speed of yesterday I sure don't see a reason to rush, especially now that your claim is out there.

Wallace comes back. D's betrayal ends up hurting the Barksdale gang a lot worse, especially in the long run. And Avon didn't have D killed. Stringer did. Avon only found out about it later.

Exactly. Why let me live a minute longer?

Here's why...

PeregrineV, Johnny Weeks, Self-Activated Tree Stump, was caught on the wire and shot from an unknown distance Night One!

Because yeah, Johnny was green and trying to get brown, so he makes sense as a tree stump, but he was sure never part of the Barksdale crew. So far role flavor appears to have a clever relation to some aspect of the characters but not a one on one relation to alignment, outside of the police is bad and the street is good.

Therefore DGB's lynching, most especially if she flipped town, would be no more alignment indicative for her neighbors than their confirmed flavor roles already are.

As for a traitor, if there is one, there are multiple places to look, even assuming it would correspond with flavor. Might find an Orlando, for just one example.

Given the way this has played out, with the inclusion of DGB in a neighborhood where her flavor role would be explicitly known by two other players, this strikes me as a bad lynch. Not saying we shouldn't keep the same eye on DGB we do on anyone else, but I find it a little improbable that Toasty would just feed us scum to lynch in the way this would indicate.
