Jerome had enough knowledge to communicate understanding to Deon.
Jerome is a og fam people forget he Franklin unc not his friend he been moving thru the streets I like Jerome cause he represents that old skoo Cali nigga and he stand on that
The thing about Old heads is they were in the streets with other Old heads busting moves so they made a name from being in the streets and the young boys are still young they don't have a name yet so they will always get looked down on especially because the hoods are ran by Old heads and now the young boys gotta make their name known so they gotta go thru shit like this because the old heads was once young boys that went thru the same shit it's a vicious cycle either put your all in it or get ran over the streets ain't for everybody so either do it right or move the fuck over

Leon was a shooter & shooters shoot. He knew he couldn't kill deon cause that would've ruined his business, he slangs in deon's hood. & deon didn't respect him enough to talk straight business so he got Unc who has respect all around the city to level the playing field
True but it goes deeper than that, Deon is his dead homie Fatback's cousin and on top of that him and Leon are both crip affiliated so I highly doubt Leon would want to kill him anyways but Lee also knows Fatback's death is partially his fault and on top of that he had to hide and couldn't pay dues to Fatback's family so he understands why Deon is upset, Jerome and Deon come from the same era of OGs hashing things out by either showing respect and paying dues as deserved or by squabbing it out, Jerome showing that he knows Deon's rep and his people and was willing to give reparations for Fatback's death is what pacified Deon.

@@SJW8788 He was referring to weight on a bench press. Jerome asked about 350lbs. His response, “Four plates” actually equals 405lbs. (4 x 45lb plates on each side plus the 45lb bar). For those who workout/lift, to get to 4 plates is a VERY big deal. Lot of weight, a lot of training and strength needed to push that kinda weight. That’s why he said it with so much aggression. 4 plates…. he’s not to be fu*ked with.
Fast Forward to Jerome telling Leon he ain't family but in this scene protects him as he was his own uncle watching him grow up with his nephew shows how things can change especially from the guy who said this ain't like selling weed with this brick comes alot of problems
dont get it fucked up when Deon say something happen to his crew something going to happen to you as he looked at jerome he wasnt talking about jerome he was talking about Leon but letting jerome know you not going to be able to help him or you go down with leon....i been in the streets to long not to catch this vibe in that convo
1:48 I feel like deep down despite those looks, Deon knew that Jerome wasnt someone he would want to fight BUT still had to show he was the boss in front of his men.
there was a scene in the wire when Prop Joe set up a meeting with Omar & Stringer Bell......Omar blew smoke away from Stringers face as well... enemies but still respect
