Why in the FRICK did I have to frick that damn fairy? Yeah she was hot but now I got all these fricking fairy kids with their sweet fairy blood. I bet some fricking vampire ends up killing all but one of them. Fricking fairies. Fricking vampires. Where’s my damn psycho brother when I need him. Probably off banging the waitress.
its not a meme, its the same mentally ill male hapa who's, suddenly, not spamming humiliation ritual or baskin roberts, thinking he's found the meme because a pajeet ship crashed into a bridge in baltimore.

Frank's highest motivation was caring for his working stiff longshoremen who had been sinking into poverty for years and years. Him and his union want nothing more but to be able to work ships, which happens less and less over time. "muh ships" is a common catchphrase to sum up his struggle, as his men's livelihoods depend on having ships to unload. He laments the competition of the nearby Norfolk port and tries to keep the cargo theft to a minimum, a luxury his kind could only afford during better economic times. He deals with criminals smuggling drugs and women through the port and uses the profit to support the union and struggling longshoremen.
This relates to today's event as the entire Baltimore port is now completely sealed off until all the wreckage is cleared and possibly even longer during reconstruction. No more ships.
people keep posting this like "lol ironic" when the entire point is that Frank was wrong and that nothing is permanent. obviously the writers didn't predict that the bridge would collapse twenty years later but they knew that just because something is big and important it's not going to be here forever
Frank filters the frick out of people for some reason. It's like how people cheered after CIA's speech about turning up the war on drugs in season 3 missing the point there as well.
The point of Frank is that he was wrong about absolutely everything and ruined the lives of everyone he cared about in the process.
He was wrong for the right reasons though, that's why he's such a compelling character.
But yes in general I think most viewers of The Wire tend to miss the "everything changes, but nothing changes" theme of the show that is literally spelled out for you each season.
Valcheck was one of my favorite characters on my latest rewatch. This petty power-tripping rat-faced dweeb who everyone hates but can somehow never get rid of, and at the end of the show he fricking wins and becomes Police Commissioner. Legitimately hilarious.

He’s absolutely based. Valchek won. Perhaps the biggest winner other than maybe Levy.

I am not saying it's an easy thing to do in their situation but couldn't they just find new jobs? Was their job security so important that he thought starting shipping drugs and traffic humans was justified?
They could and a lot already had because the work dried up. Unions are heavily based on seniority/tenure so it ends up as a huge sunk cost if someone has worked in it for 30+ years and just needs a few more before retiring. All that is thrown out if they switch jobs, along with whatever retraining is required.
There was actually a scene in one of the early episodes where a union worker tells Frank he’s accepted another job in shipping nearby. This is when Frank tells him to go to the bar and gives him money. The issue in season 2 is NOT that other work didn’t exist. The issue is that Frank romanticizes his union and doing the same job his father and grandfather had and would do anything to protect it. This is visually symbolized in the stained glass window in the beginning, bought with money from shipping contraband and used to get access to politicians, which starts the entire season.
we used to build shit in this country
not well enough apparently
what bridge has supports that were made to withstand the impact of a 100000 ton cargo ship
Shut the frick up Pete. This is your fault.
Answer the question, Ivan.
Maybe if you spent a few minutes doing your job and not sucking man dick some jeets wouldn’t have rammed our bridge.
watch out... the russians always get mad when you point out how obvious they are
What the frick are you talking about? Some jeets hit a bridge in Baltimore. You can google it.
This one could, easy. There's even an anti ship barrier built in around the supports.
>Ziggy must be raped pretty hard in prison right now
Hes got a big willard though
A knife
We used to build shit in this country. Now, we just get paid by Israel to knock our own bridges

There's a part where the character points out the bridge that just got destroyed by the Poo Barge

thank you
In addition, Frank's final scene ("Effige") happens under that very bridge.
how to afford dredging the river x9000
pretty sure they'll have to dredge it now with a collapsed bridge in it
He never said that. Funny when I tried looking it up on youtube one of the most related searched things was "Frank Saboka Bridge" lol

Nope, his reasons were wrong too.
Absolute midwit take.
Nope. Frank did nothing right.

it's a fake quote you idiots
Being a 36 year old man cast as a much older grizzled dockworker
He acted the shit out of that role though. Surprised I never really saw this guy elsewhere.
He played Gene Kranz in For All Mankind. I actually didn't even realize it was the same actor at first.
>You know what the trouble is Brucie? We used to not ram container ships into bridges in this country...
Google shoah'd the reviews for the bridge but i shit you not there was a review there from yesterday calling the bridge scary
