The Wire actor dies from... drugs

Post by Grandpa's Spells »

Well this is depressing as shit. Corner kid David Simon interviewed doing work that eventually became The Wire (kid played Lamar, Brother Mouzone's lackey) OD's.

One of the downsides of the Internet is that it allows like-minded people to form communities, and sometimes those communities are stupid.

That sucks. Beautifully written eulogy though. RIP.

Simon often comes off as a raging prick, but I respect the degree to which he cares about the people he covered as a journalist (cops and dealers both) and the people he creates now.
