"Things in TV shows/ movies you find unbelievable "


  

          

I had a hard ass time believing Christopher Multisanti was shaking down that corner boy captain for a percentage on his trade. In oakland, aint no one getting that percentage, unless its an older dealer running that corner. So the idea of an outsider to the community coming in and asking for his cut is just wild to me (might just be some east coast shit i dunno)




In the first season of the Wire when Avon was kingpin, they show him rolling around with only 1-2 enforcers at best, in some scenes he's even by himself! HELL NAH cutty, no kingpin on THAT level is rollin around with anything less then a small army. Granted they seemed to understand this concept better when Marlo takes over a couple seasons later, all that muscle he has with him when he's holding court in that open area is way more believable to me.
