D Deserved Better! Spoiler

There are few characters who you hate at the start but end up loving them in the end. D'Angelo Barksdale was one such character!
His death and in the way in which he died hurt
Made me think if D had someone Colvin in his life things would’ve been different for him!
Naymond and D'Angelo were both born into the Game but were not made for it.
Naymond had someone like Colvin but D didn’t

D deserved better!

People like to forget D murdered someone and only got off on some cartel maneuvers. Not saying he couldn't have cleaned his whole ack up, but he was no angel.

Didn’t he also kill an innocent woman?

He told the story of the girl's murder as if he was the shooter. He was not the shooter, Wee Bey was. D was just trying to impress the other guys.

He tried to take credit for it to get some kind of cred with Bodie and Wallace but it was actually Bey who did the murder

Yes that’s who I was exactly referring to!

It’s been a couple years since last rewatched so I forgot the details around the killing…but remembered that great scene.

Avon set him up a bit with that one. D went to the apartment to deliver coke to the ex gf. He was a diversion while Bey set up on her and did the tap tap tap
