    I was home one day watching the local news and saw a video of a man robbing a bank. He robbed a couple of banks in broward county ( FL) I thought to myself " wow this looks like my friend Doug" that night I went to my other friends home and Doug was there. I told my friend " I think I saw Doug robbing a bank today' she laughed and called him into her room to tell him. I panicked and begged her not to. I knew he always had a gun on him. Well 2 months go by I get a call at 3am. My friend screaming that the FBI just raided her home and arrested Doug. He's still in jail 10 years later. I always think about what might have happened if she told him.

      Big red flag when some "bank robber" talks about going into the vault. That's Hollywood crap. Lets you know this speaker is either fake, or intentionally misleading the audience. The vault holds safe deposit boxes. Waste of time and effort. The ATM room is where the cash is, beyond what's in the teller bays and registers. MAYBE a counting room (usually behind the teller bay) but that's only if you happen to catch it at exactly the right time.
      ZERO reason for a robber to go into the vault in a bank robbery situation unless he/she really really likes to collect people's tax forms, birth certificates, and other random things requiring each and every little box to be broken into just to see what's inside. The moment this phony talked about going into the vault, you knew he was full of it. That's the kind of thing people say because they saw it in a movie and think it's legit.

      He mentioned for his 1st bank, he pulled into a plaza in Calabasas CA in 1999, looking for a place to piss. There was a Chase Bank across from a Wells Fargo.
      The thing is that prior to 2008, all the JP Morgan Chase Bank branches in California were Washington Mutual.
      As a matter of fact, JP Morgan Chase, as we know it now, didn't exist prior to 2000.
      In 2000, Chase Manhattan Bank acquired JP Morgan Co and rebranded as JP Morgan Chase.
      Then in 2008, JP Morgan Chase acquired Washington Mutual Banks and that's when Chase came to California, if I'm not mistaken.

He isn't telling the public anything that the police don't know therefore the mafia won't care. Being a snitch requires information that isn't already know. He is in danger be he is a suspected snitch but not for explaining how the family works; he is suspected of giving information that they DON'T have.

      For most social problems, we know the cause and solutions. But other factors, from those who benefit opposing them to opposing the solutions for other philosophical reasons. Violence? Violence in a society directly correlates with level of economic disparity. (Not just poverty, its the gap between rich and poor.) Drug addiction/overdose/etc? Legalize all drugs and treat addiction as a medical health condition. Child abuse? Almost all child abuse is committed by parents or adults the child knows and trusts. Education and empowerment of children prevents it and stops it. Teen pregnancy, STDs, etc? Comprehensive sex ed taught before its needed. Education? Center every class around critical thinking and active discussion.
      Often the solutions are known and even practiced in other parts of the world successfully, but ideology and corrupt interests step in and perpetuate suffering. For example, Portugal decriminalized all drugs in 2001 and it has been phenomenally successful. But in many places, they are so eaten up with a mindset that gaining pleasure from substance use is a moral failing and joyful in their moral superiority that they'd rather lose their children to overdoses or spend their life rotting in prison than give it up.

    The ATF didn't just "let thousands of guns walk across the border", they directly coerced, threatened and strong-armed people into, selling the guns, buying the guns and dealing with the cartel. Some of them were just vulnerable FFLs (Firearm Dealers) who were told that if they didn't sell 20 AR15's to the person coming in at 3PM, they were going to take their license, arrest them and confiscate all their merchandise. Essentially, "Sell all these guns to this shady guy or we'll ruin your entire life".
    But hey when you have a track record of burning dozens of children and women to death, shooting pregnant women and killing so many dogs it's become a meme, it's just par for the course. They do absolutely nothing beneficial for this country or the people in it, the agency shouldn't exist at all and has mutated into something unrecognizable from it's originally stated purpose. It's full of the worst of the worst and needs to be completely deconstructed.

      sure, but first tell me what club you were in and how long. Next tell me are you a law officer. Then tell me how high you were ranked. Then maybe we can talk. I don't need your examples. I lived it. If you want to tell me the differences in the 1%er clubs you saw on UA-cam or some documentary .Forget it.There are differences within the club in the charters(Chapters) themselves. Its more a way to meet contacts. Brotherhood happens, but its mostly contacts. So put up or shut up.

    It’s crazy, you don’t even need to smuggle guns anymore, just a room full of 3D printers, a single metal machining station and a team of guys to put them together, you can get thousands of guns for the same price as hundreds at this point, a plastic-kov does only have 1k shots before it breaks but it’s so much cheaper than an AK

      If "mass casualty event" shooters WERE NOT actually fed agents or agitated by feds, they would start using much safer, much more effective, and much more economical methods to guarantee much larger death tolls.

    Having grown up right near Sturgis SD where the largest motorcycle rally in the world happens every year, I’ve interacted with many hells angels. From the associates to full patched members and I’ve gotta say they’re outwardly very normal, very humble, seemingly good guys. I had a beer during sturgis with one guy who was full patched and we were just talkin bikes for like an hour and he handed me his business card and told me it was his business number and if I ever needed anything to just call and even if he didn’t remember me the fact I had the number would be proof I was in good. He also told me to either never let it go or burn it and forget it because if that number got out there’d be trouble. So I held onto it. Sits in my wallet. I hope I never need that favor.

    a couple interesting observations: we mainly get detailed crime stories like this from the 90’s and early 2000’s bc the new age of organized crime hasn’t been caught yet. even with this torrent of insider info, it really doesn’t mean much in the grander scale of 10-20 years from now.
    personally, my mind is already blown imagining what guys like this cooked up to get away with it, so it’s like the 4th of july imagining what the current bosses are might be up to.
    second observation is that most of the former criminals being interviewed seem to have a similar stance on the general idea of crime for profit, and i genuinely can’t tell if it’s bc of the interviewers feeding lines or just bc that’s the natural conclusion that these men have witnessed to a life like this. i fully believe it’s possible to play the game and get out unscathed, the issue is choosing the right game and being good enough to stay under any imaginable radar. seriously, you can get cooked if even the wrong store clerk or parking attendant catches on to your routine

    Without favor, that one is obvious. But without _fear..?_ Fear is natural. It's instinctual for a reason, it's how we make it outnthe other end of severe dangerous situations. It's critical to survival.
    With _bravery_ - that would IMO be more fitting. Bravery is overcoming fear that stuns and prevents you from acting. There is no bravery without fear.
    And realistically - genuinely fearless people don't tend to live very long lives. And quite often the lack of that critical part of survival instincts and comprehending threat, ends up putting others in harms way too.

      I'm joking, of course, but tbf, he _was_ well spoken, esp. compared to your usual (kof!) 'roadmen', or wannabe BrickTop types! I'm assuming you're talking about the forger, since apart from Mr. Sharif, all the Brits shown were either civilians or speaking (more - or - less) from the other side of the equation... and yeah, I wouldn't disagree with you! Having said that, I think only Americans would imagine he 'talks posh' (by his own admission, he was hardly born with a silver spoon in his mouth) but I wouldn't knock him for that; 'well mannered gentleman', indeed. Sadly, about as old school as they come (he reminded me of a character you'd have found in an episode of that old '60's/early '70's show 'The Saint', or an Agatha Christie novel). Nowadays, some scrote giving it all "Wot's your farkhin' problem, Wankah?!" or some "Ja~fakin' " nonsense is more par for the course...

      @@oooooooo2470 I’m not offended. Just annoyed. Something a lot of people confuse nowadays. When I watch a doc on crime, I don’t wanna hear about how someone feels the police were mean to them. Especially when they are one of the most cucked police forces in the world, that drive around with rainbow cars and arrest people for saying mean things. It’s laughable.

    Beautiful Ortgies pistol at 2:33:04 - seems like a 'crime' (sorry!) for it to just end up as storm~drain fodder.
