Criminals being romantisised should not be the norm. Im a working man and proud to be a straight walking man who can lay my head down after a 50-70 hour work week and know I worked for my money. The Working man is the tough guy.

[@lmac6833]

Yeah but boring af

[@matthewsolway2642]

The wedding John knew what he was doing. i respect this bloke for being how he is because it wasn't about social media it was a job. And young kid's seriously listen to what he is saying about being left alone when you are the honest one, especially putting everything on the line you are NOT family you are disposable like any work force

[@Merebark]

Can relate worked the door for 10 years, great for the stories but there's a better lifestyle out there!

[@thepanel2935]

None of this can happen without a level of police involvement and police protection to keep John safe from all of the arranged "hits" and/or keep him safe from all of his rivals like the bikies and the Chinese and the Vietnamese and the Italian Mafia, and the other Leb crime families, etc, etc, etc...

@@thepanel2935 my life is a book crazy I survived, It was a relaxed atmosphere on the street , Getting into a car and leaving our spot , never ended well . I thought 600 in four hours was pretty good money , If a house was robbed we all sorted it real quick . Taking money from a man back then was a easy challenge haha .I'm ok these days almost reaching a young 65 . I still think about it cause it was part of me . Shazz

That depends, for you and I it’d need to be in the tens of millions. Some people would do it for $10k. That’s why the world is full chaos, people with different values.
