The Wire 2x07 Full Reaction

When Frank was talking about there not being a place for his sons on the waterfront he wasn't talking about legacy, he was saying "this is all we have and it's disappearing before my eyes" so in short, he doesn't see a future for his family and community. The docks are their lifeline.

Most people have probably stopped checking the comments by now, but when Lester is trying to convince Daniels to take the detail and gives him the whole "you'll live to regret this" speech, how much of that was Lester trying to twist his arm, as opposed to him making a genuine point?

I'm just curious as to how much of what Lester is saying at that moment comes from a genuine place.
