As I was watching a documentary mini series called 'Black Market' featuring Michael K. Williams, I became intrigued with the actors mission to get in-depth on why some people do the things they do and how they survive doing it.
In one of the episode of 'Black Market' titled "New Jersey Drive" focused on how car theft turned into car jacking. A former car thief revealed to Williams that since car companies have made it harder to steal cars, they ultimately resulted to car jacking. He said that the car owner is given two choices with an offer they can't refuse. The former car thief added that children can't focus on school properly if they haven't eaten in days, which is one of the motives for car jacking.
Another unknown car jacker said only three people are needed in their crew, the eyes, the stealer and the driver. He added that although he won't shoot anyone he will cluck them a few times. One of them called themselves a sympathy thief!
At any rate while some don't feel the need to shoot or kill anyone, not all car jackers feel the same way. As Williams continued with his journey he learned that because there's no jobs these specific thieves do what they feel they gotta do to survive and provide for their family. He said that if he can make $10,000 for a 2014, 2015 X5, or Porsche 2015 in five minutes why not do it. He also said that if anyone does anything wrong he won't hesitate to pull the trigger.
Michael K. Williams is mostly known for his role as Omar in the HBO series 'The Wire' and Chalky White in the HBO series 'Boardwalk Empire'.He was also featured in films including the latest 'Ghostbusters', '12 Years A Slave', 'Miracle At St. Anna', 'Doing Hard Time' and one of the late Tupac classic films 'Bullet'.

During the Viceland series 'Black Market' the 49-year-old talked about how he went from Corny Mike to Cool Omar. He also admitted to spending money recklessly during season one and two of 'The Wire'. He talked about how the late Rev. Ronald B. Christian of Christian Love Baptiste Church helped guide him into the right direction and taught him how to love himself.
In the episode "New Jersey Drive" dedicated to the late Rev. Ronald B. Christian, Williams gives you insight on car thieves and car jacking. As the series continues you will get more insight on how the liquid drug lean became so popular, how drugs can be bought through the internet and how gas is smuggled in Colombia.
The season of 'Black Market' with Michael K. Williams has ended but you can watch all the episodes from the beginning on Directv On Demand!
