The beauty of Hamsterdam highlighting that the top brass literally only cared about their stats was by far one of my favourite power moves of the whole series.

The brass was also worried about lawsuits and federal indictments for allowing such an absurdly illegal scheme to go on under their noses.

@@bighands69 Hamsterdam wouldn’t expand because if it did then it would’ve been on the radar of the bosses sooner. They’d immediately shut it down, and Baltimore crime statics would increase back to its normal levels. If your scenario played out with Hamsterdam somehow successfully expanded throughout the city, it would still be a statical improvement over what was happening before Hamsterdam. Countries like Portugal have shown that it’s worth at least exploring the legalization of hard drugs.
@laxjoh2 жыл бұрын
@@bighands69 I don't think you know what a pre indicted corner means. Drug dealers and users wouldn't leave the free zones if all the corners were pre indicted. This was easier to portray in the show because this was only ONE district. This is likely not applicable in every city in every state but probably in certain districts where the popular corners are all pre indicted and police can man those corners without being understaffed. In the ghettos/cities in my state, this wouldn't work because it's way too densely populated and Hamsterdam free zones would be way too overloaded and THAT is when it would actually do what you're referring to. The free zones in Colvin's district in the Wire didn't seem that densely populated for Baltimore so it was a viable approach.

It's interesting because Portugal actually has taken a similar approach where they have decriminalized all drugs. They changed their perspective on the "war" against drugs and now are seeing historic all time lows for overdoses and deaths. Portugal is advocating the rest of the world to follow this system but to no avail. I guess the profits coming in by jailing people seem to be far more important to those capable of making these changes.

i think that shit only really works with countries that have better economies; when it comes to poorer countries and areas, youre not just accounting for the deaths but the people and their livelihoods. good i suppose how countries like amsterdam and portugal can kind of allow and in a way regulate drug use to positive ends but then again different contexts will yield different results. baltimore is a city with a large drug problem and comes with that are poor urban areas, more so unlike majority of other cities, i dont think colvin agrees with per se the drug use but understands how compromises have to be made in order to contain the contamination within safer borders. its a point in the series that these people who dont have much shit to begin with will have their lives wrecked even further - as seen with dukie - using drugs if youre a rich guy into drugs, one assumption is you already have a high paying job and it perhaps is stable, i think cultures made in places like amsterdam is since its casually available then one doesnt necessarily have to dive into it - and that for a price, when it comes to these folks, theyre gonna be sticking up people just to get a fix and forget their problems in ways worse than the guys who could afford the drugs like if it were alcohol.

Definitely one of the best scenes of The wire.. with the whole got the cops going to get fiends, with the wmd right here, right here, I hear the wmds the bomb etc... imagine police rounding up a bunch of addicts and bringing them to the spot LMAO... in real life there would be no violence if they made that deal well not zero violence but it would drastically go down for an open drug market
