Notice how the way omar asked questions about the people he hit up even as a kid in a simple robbery Micheal did too in running with snoop and chris...man i wish there was just 1 more final season

Ah, I miss that chemistry between Bunk and McNulty.

I think the kid's constant use of the word proposition is meant, not to show us who he is, but to show us how he earned his nickname. Even if Joe was known for making deals it seems unlikely that a dealer from the projects would earn the name "Proposition Joe" unless he frequently used that word himself. For a kid like that clearly trying to act older than he is, it makes sense that he would overuse the word as he tries to pass himself off as a young business man (as he also refers to himself).

The Omar one wasn't stupid. It gives off a fuck load of back story that David Simon created. We had only heard of his brother "no heart" Anthony, and that one incident in particular. Other than that, nothing about Omar that we knew that went back before the show started. This shows where he got his ideas of robbing dealers. He never wanted to rob working stiffs, because they never deserved it. He knew it was so wrong that he pulled a gun on his brother to give the cash back. If Omar is willing to stick a gun to his own kin's head just to do the right thing, then that says everything about the man that we never would've known otherwise. He's a hood saint.

Chris You do know it though because his motives throughout the series are hurting those that have already hurt others.
