The actor who played Omar on "The Wire," Michael K. Williams, visited a Philadelphia high school this week to warn the kids about the dangers of street violence. I just hope he didn't encourage them to rob drug dealers for a living.
Great lede from my man Daniel Rubin:
How do you grab high school students' attention two days before the final bell?You'd think "Wire" praise would be verboten in the Inquirer, what with Bill Marimow still in charge...You bring in the scar-faced, shotgun-toting, duster-wearing, gay vigilante who tormented Baltimore drug dealers on HBO's The Wire.
