One could also say that this was still a decision based on money. If Brother Mouzone took money as an apology for trying to kill him he could lose his reputation as someone who should not be messed with. I know The Wire brilliantly portrays the ecology of a city and how money plays its part. But its so interesting still to look at everything. Peace, chaos, violence and honor. All revolves around value. And thats all that money fundamentally represents. Value.
The Bother Muzone vs Omar scene is awesome. It's like an old Samurai movie.
Stringer caused his own death being disloyal to Avon starting with killing D'Angelo. Lying to Brianna, going behind Avon's back with the Prop Joe deal, the Brother Mouzone/Omar fiasco, and then informing on Avon. Even without knowing he snitched, Avon was still willing to save Stringer's life.

5:12, that subtle change in facial expression. Mouzone said without words, "don't try and bribe me brother, you're not talking your way out of this". Great acting.
Stringer was done. Avon already knew it being the G he is but throwing money was just a last ditch effort to save Stringer life. "Business is where we are now" Your word and reputation you still have an open line to NY. Without it you're done. Stringer signed his own death certificate.

Also, It didn’t help that he knew String put the hit on D’Angelo either.. String did it to his self.. Avon wasn’t about to cancel his line with NY nor ruin the reputation he spent all of those years building.. If he told him no, Avon was dead right there.. If Avon wasn’t solid, he wouldn’t have been given the chance to make things right. Brother Respected Avon and knew he didn’t do it but it came from his shop so he put it on him to make it right...

So true, I have to keep looking at the wire a couple of times to see how stupid Stringer Bell really was in the street life. He had book sense, but when it came to the streets Avon had that on lock. Just like him with the senator. He gave him money for a bribe. He should have got dirt work on the senator for a better battle ground. He just took his money and there's nothing he can do about it. His word against the senator.
Omar listening
The level of nuance and elements of diplomacy and reputation that were written into this show makes it one of the best shows ever made, I have not seen any show made since The Wire that comes close. Modern shows focus way too much on cinematography and visual aspects rather than dialogue and plot lines which are much more important IMO.

Avon was right about String messing up. He can't ask Mouzone who did it cause what if he tries to draw them into a conflict for his own benefit. On top of that, Avon hired mouzone. They don't have to be at his service doing him favors. He had a job to do, it's a 1 way street. So much could go wrong by approaching the situation that way. Stringer thought he was superior to everyone around him because he had a little bit of business related knowledge, what he failed to realize is that he was replacing his street mentality with a business mentality.
To kill two birds with 1 stone, they generally need to be in the same vicinity 🤦🏽♂️. How ironic considering how Stringer went out.

Stringer is the reason Avon went to war with Marlo. They knew them Towers was coming down so Stringer should’ve prepared early to take the business elsewhere. He didn’t have to give Prop Joe territory. He could’ve just bought the product at a higher price or just eliminated Joe

He was street smart but in the wrong division problem with Avon and string is they had 2 different philosophies. Avon and Marlo both understood the war tactics aspect. Fear .. Power side of it but string also like a prop joe understood the economic side of it. That’s why an organization is about assigned roles string had no business even talking to any Hitman and street muscle that’s Avon’s expertise his manager on that side were wee bey then slim Charles. Economic wise to generate profit all stringer and dangelo Having dudes being out of position caused a lot of errors within the camp String was def a dirty guy though he deserved to go he wasn’t playing by the rules

Avon fucked it up being hardheaded and wanting to bang with Marlow and beef with Westside. String was playing both sides telling Avon 1 thing then trying to conduct biz so that when Avon came home he’d see that warring over corners was BS and to sit back and let the money roll in. It took Stringer maybe 2 whole episodes to break it to Avon what the real was and it never set well with Avon.

If Stringer was the 3rd party between Avon and Mouzone the whole time, why didn't he just set up a meet with brotha and say "we straight, your work here is done. You can go back to New York"? Fear Avon would find out he made a deal with Joe and traded territory for better product? Seems like Avon already found out anyways. If it was just a case of Stringer trying to "smart businessman" himself into a hole of away games too far to dig out of due to simple desire to be the soul entity running the drug empire, then he both grimey and kinda stupid when it comes to the streets.
