David Simon making new season of The Wire? He makes offer..

[whateverman]

Attorney General Holder:

"I want to speak directly to [Co-creator Ed] Burns and Mr. Simon: Do another season of The Wire," said as the audience laughed and applauded."That's actually at a minimum. ... If you don't do a season, do a movie. We've done HBO movies, this is a series that deserves a movie. I want another season or I want a movie. I have a lot of power Mr. Burns and Mr. Simon."

​

David Simon:

"The Attorney-General's kind remarks are noted and appreciated. I've spoken to Ed Burns and we are prepared to go to work on season six of The Wire if the Department of Justice is equally ready to reconsider and address its continuing prosecution of our misguided, destructive and dehumanising drug prohibition."

He held back. Simon doesn't believe in the War on Drugs - rather, he identifies a systematic and institutionalized War Against the Poor in America. Atty. Holder identifies with the best of The Wire. He thinks he's Bunny Colvin or something. Be Colvin then. Simon knows the DoJ / FBI / DEA / ATF are all massive tools for oppression, wielded best by criminals.

david simon should have quoted omar little.

Maurice 'Maury' Levy: You are feeding off the violence and the despair of the drug trade. You are stealing from those who themselves are stealing the lifeblood from our city. You are a parasite who leeches off the culture of drugs...

Omar Little: Just like you, man.

Maurice 'Maury' Levy: Excuse me? What?

Omar Little: I got the shotgun. You got the briefcase. It's all in the game though, right?
