They don't get pleasure out of dirty deeds, they do them for utilitarian reasons. But they're clearly evil, IMO, and would rather kill someone than risk a pay cut or a challenge to their lifestyles. Dragging down their own social milieu by pumping cheap heroin into it certainly doesn't bother them; instead, they see an opportunity for advancement.The citizens of Baltimore are typically neutral. They don't particularly like what Barksdale & Bell are up to, but they sure as hell aren't going to take any risks to stop them.Someone like Dee, Avon's nephew, was flirting with good in prison before he died; he distanced himself from Avon at some personal risk, because he didn't like what Avon was up to.</blockquote>
