1. Rent "the wire" - a series that was on Showtime

It will answer all your questions about

"Bodymore Murderland"

2. Shouldn't something be done about it?

8. I am a Wire fiend!

I hate to be "nit-picky" but "The Wire" was an HBO production.

I watched every episode when it was running on HBO and my wife brought me the box set last Christmas. I've watched all five seasons within a two week period one time.

You are correct, The Wire is a great depiction of how urban life is, especially in Baltimore.

3. According to some misguided DU souls, it shouldn't even be REPORTED. (nt)

4. The Mayor of Baltimore is a very good one

However, I think she needs help with this. She can't solve this on her own. It's too big.

5. So The Wire was really

a documentary?!

6. Pretty much - I read the book when it came out in the mid 90's ....

.... horribly sad.
