American Society Twelve from "The Wire"

Who is Omar? Omar is a gay, a felony, Omar is a robbery guy, a Baltimore drug dealer, Omar is a nigger with a shotgun-Marlo, The idol of former US President Barack Obama. Two of the names most chanted by the kidnappers for the drug dealers were "5-0" (five-o police) and "Omar", who made all the street drug dealers terrified. Omar is extremely intelligent. When the police are investigating drug dealers, Omar even investigates the police. Omar was a daring, one-shot, one-on-one shootout against all drug dealers from Barksdale and prop joe to Marlowe.
There are two scenes with Omar that I remember the most. In the fourth or fifth season, Omar once went out to buy breakfast. On the way back, he stood under a two-story building and lit a cigarette, and suddenly dropped a pack of drugs from upstairs. Omar looked bewildered at first, then calmly picked up his pocket and walked home slowly. It was only the third time I saw this passage that I suddenly understood and laughed. Drug dealers are afraid of Omar, as for Sri Lanka.
Another play is Omar's testimony in the case of Bird's killing of witness William Gantt, in the sixth episode of the second season. During the cross-examination phase, the drug dealer's lawyer Levi tried to question the credibility of Omar's testimony by repeatedly highlighting Omar's identity. Levy said: “Mr. Little (Omar’s last name), how many times have you been arrested as an adult? … unlawful possession of a weapon, unlawful possession of a weapon, threat with a gun, robbery, possession of a deadly weapon, unlawful possession of a weapon again , followed by possession of a weapon in violation of parole, then murder with a pistol." "You walk the streets of Baltimore with a gun, looting recklessly, and when your demands are not met, you use force. You That's the kind of person, why should we believe your testimony?" "You're unethical, aren't you? The violence and desperation of the drug trade feeds you. You survive by depriving the guys who take the lifeblood of our cities. You're a parasite. ." Omar's answer was so reassuring, Omar said: "You are like me. I use a shotgun, you use a briefcase (referring to Levi defending drug dealers for a living). We It's all part of the game, okay?!" (omar: just like ui got shotgun, u got briefcase. it's all in the game, though, right?
) The shotgun is never aimed at civilians, which is "the poor and the lowly cannot move"; no matter how dangerous the enemy and the environment are, Omar has never been afraid, this is "powerful and unyielding"; after making a fortune, when a friend was killed, he relented without hesitation. Returning to Baltimore to avenge a friend is "rich and noble cannot be promiscuous". Omar is a man.
