Why Did Marlo Kill Prop Joe?

[thegoat121886]

Just got done watching the entire series of The Wire for the first time. It just might have usurped Lost for my favorite TV series of all time. I still don't understand wy Marlo murked Joe though. Was Joe too well connected or something, or was Marlo just that cold-blooded?

Joe was the link to the Greek and Marlo offed him to cut out Joe as the middle man pretty much.

This...

The whole co-op thing was Marlo's out to get to the Greek from jump street... He couldn't beforehand because he was "too street"... Joe was the only one who had ties.. So working with Joe gave him some trust with the Greek but not enough to work together under another circumstance, but with Joe gone the Greek had no one else to deal with.

this is correct.

from Wiki....

When Omar Little steals an entire shipment of heroin from the Greek's men as it is being delivered to Stewart's people, Marlo Stanfield demands a meeting with Spiros "Vondas" Vondopoulos in order to allay his fears that Stewart was responsible.[2][3] Once Stanfield is satisfied, he waits for the Major Crimes Unit's investigation into his activities to cease and then moves to establish a direct relationship with Vondas and the Greek.

After getting in communication with Vondas through former soldier Sergei,[4][5] Marlo eventually sold himself as Joe's replacement by convincing the Greek that he required an insurance policy in the form of a replacement for Proposition Joe, in the event that anything should happen to him. Realizing that Stanfield would move against Stewart regardless of his approval, the Greek accepted Marlo's proposal to act as an "insurance policy," knowing that it would mean Joe's death.

at the music and Killa Season quality but it was actually somewhat interesting. I would have never believed the DVD was legit without Wood Harris talking to Avon throughout the whole thing. The real Avon had his right leg amputated when he was a teen because he stole a city workers sandwich and was eating it off the workers truck, the worker got mad and jumped into the truck, floored it into reverse and shattered his foot against a wall. Then, when there was $30,000 missing from the count, he was kidnapped at gunpoint and thrown into a basement with an angry dog who attacked and bit him. Oh yeah, he's also been shot 20 times, twice in the head (once on the right side of his forehead and once through the mouth). He has 3 bullets still lodged in his body. How this dude is still alive is just

I am most certainly NOT about THAT life....


But how Cheese just gonna sell out your uncle like that...
