Everyone who took part in this documentary DD a great job especially the fella who played Lenny and the lady who played Lennys mum they made the documentary great

[@lisawiththevizsla1]

Seems like the same deal as Whitey Bulger in Boston , Massachusetts. As far as his deal with the police....

[@mrnice7570]

All over the world, up to the the elite level of organised crime. Government

[@cyankirkpatrick5194]

I was thinking the same thing, despite my last name I couldn't nor stand people like this 🤬😡😡 I have zero tolerance for people who are this. I'm related to criminal element 🤦🏻‍♀️🤷‍♀️🤦🏻 that doesn't make me one does it. I have nothing to do with them if I can get out of it.

[@cyankirkpatrick5194]

@@mrnice7570 they are at least legal in there eyes 😜😁🙄

[@vanessashaw5365]

Exactly the same deal. It’s probably more common than we know.

[@charlesnelson5187]

Lennie was the Aussie equivalent of Whitey Bulger. When Whitey went to prison...his past caught up with him. Lennie was lucky to the end.

[@timharwood1457]

Roger rogerson 😂😂😂😂 bloke was the biggest crook on the force

[@vinny3266]

Anyone can be the big man when you know you're untouchable

[@lulassong6524]

Ugly as sin...

[@jimburg621]

the cops where as bad as the criminals.

[@TrollsExposed351]

Lol all cops are even today no one knows how to manage that type of power you put a badge on someone they have power over people lives especially in that time. There was a lot of crooked things going on back then that’s how we had a lot of our presidents like John F. Kennedy and people like that America was founded on crime in bootlegging hell the government is a mob we pay taxes which is ridiculous we have to pay taxes just to live the whole world is crooked

[@tonyarichards5430]

I’ve already seen this one.

[@thesatisfiedcustomer4869]

Tara Moss did the series first, tough nuts. just different narrator.

[@psforos]

In the old days most of the big crims told tales and only mid to low level blokes were punished for it. Conversely these days it seems instead of a copper having to bash you to make you talk they have to bash you to shut ya up., allegedly.

[@TonyTony-bh2ei]

[@capone6014]
