You Come at the King, You Best Not Miss! 

You Come at the King, You Best Not Miss! — The is one of the most famous lines from the George Pellicanos / David Simon series The Wire. Originally spoken by Street King and “drug dealer robber” Omar Little to the drug gang hit man Roland “Wee-Bey” Brice after Brice unsuccessfully tries to collect the bounty on Omar’s head in an ambush.

After the Brice is wounded and his crew is killed, Omar leaves Wee-Bey conspicuously alive uttering the famous words:

“Yo Bey, the lesson here is: You Come at the King, You Best Not Miss!”

Amazingly years after The Wire series ran, this line is now being quoted verbatim by the American News Media in the general direction of lawmakers attempting to bring Donald J. Trump to justice.

I don’t know which is more paradoxical: hearing a White woman say this while affecting a Baltimore Black-cent; or, that this warning is being given to lawmakers about a former president of the United States.

Wow…now, y’all got the briefcase AND the gun.

I want to see Trump brought to justice and treated exactly like both Reality Winner and Jack Teixeira. But, words of wisdom to the Justice Department: You Come at the King, You Best Not Miss!

When you come at the king, you best not miss. 

One of Omar Little's best lines. He's the king of West-Baltimore and warns his enemies that they only have one shot or else they're gone.

When you come at the king, you best not miss.
