These lines were written dirty fingers. Maybe it's just the impression left pages Homicide and viewing the latest delivery of "The Wire" , not reality. David Simon has the power to find dirt in every corner of the world we inhabit, in every fold of our own body. Journalist, writer, screenwriter and television producer, Simon is a star chef of transmedia storytelling: can develop their ideas in each half giving meaning to each proposal and supporting change. Of course, his argument is essentially the same: despair, defeat.

Not for nothing came powered by one of the worst statistics of homicides experienced by Baltimore. But what stands out in this scenario is almost apocalyptic culpability.
