Hi all! We have been experiencing an issue on site where threads have been missing the latest postings. The platform host Vanilla are working on this issue. A workaround that has been used by some is to navigate back from 1 to 10+ pages to re-sync the thread and this will then show the latest posts. Thanks, Mike.

Donnie Andrews RIP. Inspiration behind 'Omar' & acted as sidekick 'Donnie' dies

I only quoted the first few lines of that article, the rest is in the link; I think i read something about copyright on here or something.Like the television character he helped inspire, Donnie Andrews lived by a code.
In his earlier years when he was robbing rival dealers as a young hustler in West Baltimore — experiences that would later form the basis for the popular Omar Little character on the Baltimore crime drama “The Wire” — he vowed to never involve women or children in his crimes.
But after confessing to a murder and helping authorities bring down a crime syndicate, he took on a different mission: working to prevent youth from going down the same path that he did.
...
Anyway Rest in Peace big fella. I think it speaks a lot to the guy that he died during charity work while trying to give back to his community. Quite appropriate also, as the only redemption stories allowed in the Wire were ones carried on a personal level.1
