@ Chaos ZT. Exactly. That seems to be the immediate go-too nowadays! Even though it's been proven over and over. Women resort to violence much faster then men. But because we are physically inferior to men. It gets brushed off as no big deal.
If I was him I would have paid $1000.00 to 4 low life women to beat the outta her for lying to the police to the point where no one could recognize her because of all the damage to her face while I went on vacation. Perfect alibi.
As a cop (last 23 years), I had to laugh, because there are two things absolutely spot on in this scene. First is that the complainant straight up lied through her teeth and accused the person she is complaining on of something he didn't do. We see that a lot, and it's one reason why for misdemeanor complaints, we just refer them to the magistrate. It's sad that the only thing protecting people from getting a criminal charge most of the time is the complainant's laziness (they tend not to follow through when they find they actually have to carry their butts downtown to speak to the magistrate), but ti's so. The second funny thing is that the cops really are quite powerless in this situation. All they have is an unsubstantiated complaint of an act they didn't witness, and they have no authority whatever to compel Ray to speak, or come inside his home against his will. It's just that most citizens don't realize that for something like this, being so totally uncooperative -- but _not_ presenting any kind of active resistance -- leaves the police no way to proceed _at all_ with a complaint like this.
@@Sarvagya4 Uh, no, we won't. Any cop who shoots someone who is merely standing calmly in front of him and refusing to answer questions will be going to prison for murder. Don't be stupid.
That older kid showing up and threatening the bully is ACTUALLY VERY effective. Someone did this favor for me when I was young and easily bullied in school and my problems with my bully vanished. The coward wanted to be my friend now. Well, praise God and thank you for the angel you sent that time. To Thee I bow.
Well done! First time I've seen bullying handled realistically on TV. I got bullied in elementary by a kid 2 years older than me. One day after school, I got into a fight with a kid in my class and, for some reason, the bully took it upon himself to jump in and help the other kid by sucker punching me. Until then, I'd never met him and didn’t even know he existed. Beginning the next day, the bully would wait for me outside every afternoon when we got released at 3 o’clock. Since the physical stuff technically took place after school the administrators didn't care. My parents spoke with the kid’s mother (his dad was already dead from an overdose) but that useless too. After a couple of weeks (which felt like an eternity), a friend (older than my bully by two years) met us after school and stepped in when the bully approached me. He kicked the $hit out of him in front of the whole school. He just wailed on him until he started crying. Totally humiliated him, made him apologize and threatened to come back. Guess the bully got the message because he never bothered me again.
Something similar happened when I was little. This kid from school got his brother to bully us after school. When our older cousin (2 or 3 years older then us) found out, he choke slammed the Older Brother on the sidewalk. Always give that cousin credit, even if he does some stupid shit nowadays
I was also bullied but the friends of my older sister did it in a friendly and non violent way without anybody getting hurt why is bullying the offender such a popular way to end it that just reinforces the behavior of the strong preying on the weak
@@josefehling1134 : How nice for you! Glad you were able to get things resolved peacefully. I guess my parents just got tired of their 11 year old son being sick to his stomach every morning and not wanting to get out of bed, school administrators not giving a $hit and the bully’s mom being completely unresponsive. I’m sure it would’ve been nice for us all to have worked out a pleasant resolution that didn’t involve violence, but I guess my parents just didn’t think of me as a sociological experiment or a living example of tolerance and acceptance for the school to admire. Their child was being assaulted every single day and they had to stop it. Period. The bully’s motivations weren’t of any concern. If you had children, you might understand.
@@ThomasFerrugia i feel you! My little brother who has physical and learning disabilities, was bullied relentlessly in school, and I was ALWAYS getting into so much trouble for sorting it out.. Until I left school to go to high school, then it got a lot worse, until the bully and my brother came up to my highschool, now I thought I could keep an eye on him , wrong! Anytime this kid did or said anything to my brother Id be there in a flash, and guess who got into trouble EVERY TIME.. thats right, me! So one day I asked a few lads off my estate who were in the same year as them to do whatever it takes to make sure this buly NEVER touches my brother again.... They went a little too far and the guy was in a 4 month coma, shattered skull, bleed on the brain, multiple broken bones apparantly he was unrecognisable, . he never fucked with anyone after that and even dropped out of school... I dont even feel bad tho cus hes in jail now for chomping on someones ear and face , guys a pussy
@@Squidda-xl9zd : It’s such a shame it had to come to that. But it was either your brother or the bully. F*cker brought it on himself and got what he deserved. Your little brother is lucky to have you looking out for him.
That show could have went on for years but, Scott Ryan WAS the entire show, and when he said he was done, he wasn’t kidding - Such a gifted writer and a fascinating actor to watch; the kind of guy that steals every scene he’s in … he’s definitely doin’ what he was meant to do and should be proud of his work.
"I don't answer questions, can I help you?" This kills me.. he is asking them if he can help them (and obviously they would have to ask him a question for him to do that) then he immediately shuts them down after they ask 😂😂😂
Well, there's a difference. Saying this to a stranger or a friend is odd. To a police officer it's fine. They are there to investigate. Make arrests. Take in as much information as possible for any future cases. I've been in a few situations where I should have said this lol
@@biknjak he's definitely not a Dirty Harry he's an assassin who kills people for a living. And I'm not just talking about Killers or rapists anyone who he's hired to kill.
Had a situation of continuing vandalism at our workplace. Just local teens and their parents just brushed it off. Police said there was nothing they could do. So, I walked around with a camera taking their pictures. After a while they started asking why I was taking their pictures. I told them that we knew the police could not do anything about the vandalism they were doing but I just wanted to make sure that the people we were hiring got the right people. It all stopped immediately.
Haha it reminds me an interaction I had with Austin cops - where are you going? “ down the street” where did you come from ? “ down the street” what are you doing? “ walking down the street” - they didn’t know what to do.
What you expect from pigs? Happened to me too when i was in Austin. I'm not even from the US and i was there for a work conference. I was just walking towards the convenience store down the block from my hotel to buy some bottles of water when a cop car pulled over and demanded what i was doing, where i was going and why was i walking instead of driving. I was like, wtf? Luckily some dudes started recording and say to me to just walk away and ignore the pig since im not being detained
@@ShadowMoon878 I wonder what cops expect out of such encounters? No one is ever going to admit "Oh I'm going to that convenience store to rob it. On foot of course, I don't want my getaway to be too quick." I think at best these cops think they can poke and prod someone enough into giving the slightest pushback then it's arrest for disorderly conduct. They didn't detect any crime, they didn't deter any crime, they manufactured a crime.
Ray: You know, if I hit somebody, I generally got a pretty good reason. Counselor: And you think you had a pretty good reason? Ray: Didn't I just say that? Counselor: So can you remind me again what that reason was? Ray: Well, they were being assholes. Counselor: The world is full of assholes, Ray, you do realize that? Ray: Yeah and you know why? Counselor: Why? Ray: 'Cause people let them get away with it.
The actors playing cops must have had real cops consulting b/c they absolutely nailed the look a cop has when they realize the person they are trying to intimidate thinks they're assholes and isn't remotely impressed. It must have taken weeks to nail that constipated and powerless look cops get. Well done.

He seems like a really chill dude, honestly. Realistic portrayal of the world pushing a man into acting the 'wrong' way, when really all everyone had to do was not abuse him or his family.
While he does have a code of honour, he's not above killing someone solely for money. Spoilers: The fraud guy that he hangs, and the and the biker he used to be friends with who he didn't really want to kill come to mind. I know the fraudster indirectly caused the death of another person, and the bikers probably done some shady shit, but those deaths weren't quite as justifiable as most of the others.
Love the way Ray's aggression grin comes out at 0:30. You can tell that's when the whole conversation goes sour for him, and he starts thinking of ways to solve the problem without the help of Taylor's mother.
@@rockwellrhodes7703Almost right; They, as a parent, can do no wrong. The kid is just an extension of that. If they choose to deflect blame by saying the kid cant do no wrong, or if they throw the kid under the bus (sometimes even without the kid actually having done anything wrong), is dependent on the personality of the parent. Both methods are pretty common.
There's a whole genre of UA-cam channel based on not answer police questions called First Amendment auditing, Although I guess it could be called Fifth Amendment.
@@shadowbanned5164 yeah, maybe enough people could bring him out of retiring the series. his ex girlfriend could find him and tell him that her husband is abusive and ask Ray for help.
I was bullied for years by a group of boys, who had a leader. I was sensitive and smaller than he was at the time. It was PTSD type stuff that I still deal with today. Neither the school nor the parents of the kid cared or did anything about it for years (this was mid to late 70s, things were different). Then my family went to live in England for a few years, and I ended up getting put in a lower class school. It was tough but I made tough friends and I grew larger and learned how to fight a little by scrapping with these kids. When I came back to the US the bully and I ended up in the same home room, first day of school. We were each 15. He started threatening me before the teacher got there, just launched in like no years had passed at all. He told me I was finished after class got out, he was really going to f&ck me up big time this time, etc. We went into the hall, and he immediately started swinging. And then I beat him so badly that he lost an eye. The school didn't give me much discipline because they felt guilty for letting the abuse go on for so long, he started the fight (with witnesses to that effect), and his parents knew what a monster they had raised (they were monsters themselves probably), and so did everyone else, so they didn't have much success seeking restitution for their little angel, or getting me punished. This event was the only violent act I ever committed in my entire life. And I don't care what kind of family life he had that caused him to abuse me for half a decade. I don't feel bad about it at all. I rarely ever think about it, unless I come across an video such as this. And then I remember that every morning that bully wakes up, he remembers who I am, and he remembers how he earned his partial vision loss. Lesson to bullies: Stop now, because you are not always as in control of the situation as you might think you are, and you have no idea how the person you are tormenting might react on any particular day you are engaging in their abuse.
Elon Musk was bullied so severely that he was actually hospitalized. Guess who got the last laugh. The people who bullied him now are lucky to be sweeping out the floors of one of his companies. THAT is a message worth sending! I too was bullied. My Dad gave me boxing lessons and I beat up the kid across the street. At the time I felt "victorious" and happy. Not so much now. I will have to have a life recapitulation during my "time to pass." I'm sure I will have to relive beating him up. Then, it won't be so great. At all. Sanjosemike (no longer in CA)
Best show we've put out of Australia for years. I still rewatch it and never get tired of it. It's so Aussie. Looking forward to his next project coming soon. 🍺
Goes to show that kids learn from their parents. Taylor's mum shows up to the door and obviously doesn't care. Doesn't even pretend to be friendly and just assumes her kid is perfect and wouldn't bully anyone. Even contradicts herself in the same sentence "Don't call me 'love', mate". Clearly thinks she's all high and mighty and above everyone else, and thinks she can use her brother's status as a cop to bully others into submission. Lucky for her she's not aggressive too, we all know what ray would do then :D
This, Contradictory everywhere Calls him mate when she doesn't wanna be called love, and straight up tries to intimidate and threaten him with her cop brother. Ray was trying to be civil the whole time and got shit for it

The whole situation is stupid. Don't ever go door to door to talk to someone's parents. If there are problems at school, report them there.
@@dChad014 agree on all of the above, except, there’s a big difference between calling someone “mate” and calling a girl “love”. One’s historical Aussie vernacular that applies equally to both sexes and refers to an equal bonding relationship of ‘toil’ from which the slang was developed. It’s roots and meaning make it very relevant and still widely used today. The other is condescending and chauvinistic inferring a controlling or dominant role. It’s commonly aligned with an earlier time of an unequal submissive housewife, and is used in modern times as a bonding word between partners, relatives or people in very close relationships.Used outside of this realm it is today, more often used as a derogatory slur with misogynistic connotations.
@@ARudolphHucker ?? okie dokie … aaah, thanks - I guess … But fwiw it wasn’t…. Perhaps not in your group of friends and associates, but there are in fact a lot of educated people in the world, even in Australia, who are capable of defining the very basics of their own language, stringing together some thoughts and providing a written interpretation of said thoughts …. it’s not exactly a complicated concept - but feel free to judge rather than learn and/or discuss.
This series ran for 3 seasons and is still on Hulu. Very realistic and this actor Scott Ryan created the character Ray, the series and I believe wrote and directed a bunch of the episodes. It’s gritty, amazingly realistic in many episodes. He’s a complicated criminal and in many episodes plays a more realistic equalizer, which is a skilled violent person who is not afraid to kill people. Its classified as a dark comedy and one of the best episodes is genius funny, but still violent. The character is also a doting dad, caring caregiver, shylock, paid assassin, loyal friend and retribution specialist all rolled into one. It was riveting.
My little brother dealt with a bully for like a day. We were 2 grades apart and my lil bro used to dress like the skaters with long hair back then. Some kids were throwing rocks at him and his friend. He came up too me and asked if I could do something about it. Maaan I felt like such a badass picking up a rock and saying “wanna see how it feels?” Lmao that bully ish stopped instantly; my bro never lets me forget that moment whenever we talk about the old days. That was like 20 years ago. No one messes with my Bestfriend :)
What a fantastic show. Such a shame it ran for so short a time, but at least we got a season to wrap it up. The ending was also pretty on point to the character of Ray.
This was the best show. I am so sorry they ended it but yep that is how you deal with some bullies. Send bigger one's to check them. It's learned behavior that goes unchallenged.
I like that it ended when it did. I'd hate to see it jump the shark, and now Scott has an opportunity to make another amazing show or just live his life. This show is amazing, thanks Scott.
@@Violentcissy The only other thing Ryan Scott has done was The Magician in 2003. It took a long time for us to get more of Ray Shoesmith. I still can't believe this story is all he has ever been involved with. I'd like to see more for sure.

what country is this? Mine you cant without going to jail for defending yourself. You arent allowed to punch back either. It must be solved with the police. Only if they tresspass in your home and want to take your life are you allowed to self-defend.
@@croissantlover1 Just out of curiosity what country are you from? Tbh most crimes under the age of 18 are not taken seriously lol, I'm from London and kids stab each other all the time here, they get a slap on the wrist maybe a couple years in jail at most, once they turn 18 the criminal record gets expunged so the reality is kids get away with an awful lot. Once you start getting tried as an adult, then it becomes serious. 2 kids fighting in the playground is 1 thing, 2 adult men fighting is completely different. That's how the justice system works in most countries, you continuously get a slap on the wrist lulling you into thinking you are getting away with your crimes, until that 1 day where you get the book thrown at you by the Judge and you get 20 years.
Incredible acting, the level of awkwardness displayed here is off the charts. They got the supremely confused faces spot on as well and our boy looked hilarious just staring at them like he was talking to a brick wall 😭
In real life there is mothers like that, that pass on bad traits to there kids. The kid sees how the mother uses her brother as protection for her bs behaviour instead of confronting the issue.
Love this 😂 If I can take away one good thing from my ex wife, it's this. That's where their toys, and things that bring them joy are. We're gonna have family time and watch the most boring documentary on the planet and they can't leave short of bathroom breaks (timed) and meal time. Once their mother and I feel they've learned their lesson, then they can go to their room and play... For 5 mins before bed 😂😊
Amazing show. So happy I found out about it from TikTok, about the greatest thing that app has ever done. This was one of the exhilarating and beautifully paced shows I've seen in recent years. Scott Ryan is an absolute legend and genius.
I got bullied as a child by a few boys. My dad didn’t confront anyones parents but told me to go after the one with the mouth. I said what if they beat me up? He said that might happen, but the next time they want to bully someone you won’t be on their list. Appeasement makes the aggressor more aggressive.
Actually, my father would if the parents were A-holes, but it was after I fought down the bully. He wouldn't wait to see how they respond, and my father was psychotic when he lost his temper. So there were a couple parents who got this shit scared out of them. When I first learned to defend myself at the age of 8, I had two bullies ganging up on me. So, he told me go after the big one. I responded, "I'm going to lose." He said, "That's right! You are not going to win and that's ok not to win. But you are not fighting to win. Your goal is pain! How much pain can you inflict on that boy before it's over." He showed me exactly what body parts to attack and don't stop punching those parts no matter. Never stop! I did lose the fight, but no one ever messed with me again. That kid was in bad shape too.
I was bullied for quite some time when I was younger. It stays with me to this very day ~ I’m 55 Don’t get me wrong, I’m not quivering in a corner and I took action to ensure I wouldn’t be bullied in the future but damn that Shit stays with you
@@CreakyCricket ~ that’s bad ass! When I was young, if I tried that, I’d have broke my wrist and he’d STILL beat my as. My bullies were all freaks. One was a golden gloves jr boxer, another was a gang banter held back years, the third was an Islander with sons of Samoa. I had no chance. I just took it. Sometimes I look back and wonder what would have happened if I saidfuck it, did swing and break my hand. Sometimes, I’m glad I still have my teeth 😂😂
I had an interesting experience with bullies. There were are group of them in High School, with the usual leader. I was bullied a bit sophomore and junior year. I had problems, but also things to do, so I just avoided them. Escape and Evasion is a legitimate military tactic. Towards the end of junior year, the bully picked on the wrong person and ended up getting a serious beatdown. He missed school for several days and when he came back, everyone had found out. He was much less aggressive after that. I still just avoided him and his group. It inspired me later in life to take up martial arts. I trained for years: mostly Taekwondo, Baguazhang, Arnis and Tai Chi. I have not been bullied since, nor have I had to use the things I learned. I think it has a lot to do with energy, vibe, the way you carry yourself. Martial arts, boxing, that sort of stuff really helps health and quality of life well beyond resolving this issue. In some ways now, I am thankful for all of my past, these disciplines have given much more to me than I lost with a little sneaking around. When in doubt, just find a good reputable teacher and train. Boxing is a great base.
Gratified to see this bully halted before real damage occurs mentally to the victim. Strange but true how the way to stop bullying is to be a bully back!
The only way too stop a bully is too put fear into them stronger than the one they put into you. If they broke your arm, you need too break there leg and take an eye, just how it is.
I love how he's quiet, polite and smiling and yet absolutely nobody would mistake whats truly being said. I've still not watched this show. I've just seen clips on YT. I suspect something fantastic has flown under the radar. He portrays that role perfectly.
I ended my bullying by beating the everliving hell out of one of my bullies. They just pushed me too far one day and I snapped when one of them tried to push me down. I broke is nose, dislocated his shoulder, and gave him a concussion. Interestingly, I didn't get punished. The school wouldn't stop the bullying, but it also didn't do anything to me when I stopped it on my own. Nobody bothered me after that day, and I got to spend my last two years of high school in peace. Bullies only respond to one thing: violence or the threat of it.
@@IntegrityGames If you really went to school with me, you know the incident. What was the school in question? It would be interesting to catch up with a former schoolmate.
@@FoxyBoxery Yeah, he'd know about the incident if he had been there. It was a private school, and it turned into a whole thing. The parents of the bully called the police and threatened to press charges, but I had all these documented incidents where I had reported the bullying and the school did nothing, so not only could I claim self-defense but I could potentially have pressed charges against the bully and the school. Everyone in upper division (7 through 12) knew about it. It actually made the bullying problem better at the school... for a while, at least.
I just love that actor. Can watch him all day. They need to hire him and put him in more tv and movies. What a face and mannerism, and at the same time so gentle with his little girl.
I got bullied a lot in middle and high school but had made enough changes by junior and senior year that kids basically left me alone. One day a kid who used to make fun of me (never on his own, always just as part of the group) pulled me aside to apologize for how he treated me. I knew he was not a bad person, he was just trying to fit in with the other kids. I told him it was no big deal but thanks. It was not “no big deal”. It is one of the most important memories of my youth, and one I think back on often.
You said that because your likely particularly sensitive and unlike the shite's that gave you a hard time you actually think about how your actions impact on others. For many who go through such trials it does make you wonder what benefit you gained from it in a Karmic sense? One thing is for sure, bullies do seem to come unstuck mostly...
I was bullied all through elementary and a little through 6th grade until during football practice I tackled the quarter back (one of the main two) hard multiple times.
Kids tried to bully me when I was growing up. At first I was reserved just like most kids would react but one day I just started throwing hands. Helicopter punches, slaps across the face with lunch trays, pulling their shirts over their head and hammer on them, u name it! Just let loose man. It was not an easy thing to do by any means. But one day the anger just took over and it gave me a lot of courage to throw those first strikes. In my experience fighting back hard helped. They got the message pretty damn quickly. “Don’t mess with that one”
My son told me he was getting bullied in school by a bigger kid. I asked for his name and it turned out he was the son of one of my very best friends. I told my son I'd take care of it and made a quick call to my friend; told him not to go overboard but please let the kid know mine was one kid not to mess with. Problem solved.
I was bullied all through High School. In the summer just before my senior year, one of the bullies and his buddy smacked me as they walked by me in an alley. I broke the bully's knee and told his friend to tell everyone at school what had happened. My senior year was the most peaceful one, ever.
One of the wisest men I ever met was a man named Steve (he passed decades ago). When I was a kid, he told me, "There's always a bully no matter where you go." I'm 43 and after having travelled extensively, he's been proven soooo right.
This hit home..I got bullied for 2 years from 6th to 7th grade until I figured out that a brick to the face and 52 stitches later issued to that bully it suddenly stopped.
A boy use to bully me my sis and my cousin “ were girls” because we were kinda poor so we had whole apples for lunch one day and we put them plus a few other kids didn’t want in a big ole purse we use to carry to school. At recess we were standing behind the building out of the cold wind “no coats” and here he comes. We beat the crap out of him with the purse full of apples and that was the end of his bulling us😂
I had to watch this a few times before I realized he has his front entrance intentionally set up in a way so he can interact with people outside his house while still having a physical barrier they would have to violate if they wanted to touch him.
I can't deny the thought runs through my mind, but I sure as hell won't say it, let alone let my kids run around being holy terrors. They start bullying, I'll set up a meeting with the parents and the victim and let em know that I've talked to my kids about it, told em knock it off or else if they keep it up, I'd tell who they're bullying I'm giving permission to defend themselves. Alternatively, my kids get bullied, same thing, except I'll make it clear it stops, or my kids gonna defend themselves and put it to an end.
Seriously can’t get enough of this character. Props to the writer, props to the actor. This is one of the only shows in recent memory that I’m dying to see in its entirety

Many years ago now, my little (12 years old) brother was targeted at our local skatepark by a bigger "tough" guy about his same age, who had the backing of his much older (16 years old) brothers and their crew. I sat somewhere in the middle. This kid stole my brothers board and wouldn't give it back, doing the classic shit like taking off his shirt, getting in my very shy brother's face and generally being a massive punisher. I can still remember looking over at this bloke's brothers and mates - the "head" of the viper and I made eye contact and I could see they were testing us. Could just read it in his face. So I walked over, clobbered the wee fucker square in the face and kicked him up the arse for good measure. Took the board and we left. On the way past, the big lads did nothing - just a wee nod and a few stern words at the younger boy's protestations. I'm now in my late 30s and deeply aware of the fact this is hardly a cool story, and certainly am not proud of hurting someone like that - but like Ray says, sometimes there is such a thing as good violence.
Falsely accuses him of threatening and menacing her. Then proceeds to send cops to his house to do the same. Luckily he handled them perfectly 🤣
If there's one thing a lot women love it's false accusations.
@ Chaos ZT. Exactly. That seems to be the immediate go-too nowadays! Even though it's been proven over and over. Women resort to violence much faster then men. But because we are physically inferior to men. It gets brushed off as no big deal.

If I was him I would have paid $1000.00 to 4 low life women to beat the outta her for lying to the police to the point where no one could recognize her because of all the damage to her face while I went on vacation. Perfect alibi.
As a cop (last 23 years), I had to laugh, because there are two things absolutely spot on in this scene. First is that the complainant straight up lied through her teeth and accused the person she is complaining on of something he didn't do. We see that a lot, and it's one reason why for misdemeanor complaints, we just refer them to the magistrate. It's sad that the only thing protecting people from getting a criminal charge most of the time is the complainant's laziness (they tend not to follow through when they find they actually have to carry their butts downtown to speak to the magistrate), but ti's so. The second funny thing is that the cops really are quite powerless in this situation. All they have is an unsubstantiated complaint of an act they didn't witness, and they have no authority whatever to compel Ray to speak, or come inside his home against his will. It's just that most citizens don't realize that for something like this, being so totally uncooperative -- but _not_ presenting any kind of active resistance -- leaves the police no way to proceed _at all_ with a complaint like this.
Yeah but in the US if you do something like this, cops might shoot you

why lie to strangers on the internet? is it an attention thing?
@@ppstorm_gud shiet, cuz probly he wants to entertain us with stories, better than watching gore real stuff innit?
Well done! First time I've seen bullying handled realistically on TV. I got bullied in elementary by a kid 2 years older than me. One day after school, I got into a fight with a kid in my class and, for some reason, the bully took it upon himself to jump in and help the other kid by sucker punching me. Until then, I'd never met him and didn’t even know he existed.
Beginning the next day, the bully would wait for me outside every afternoon when we got released at 3 o’clock. Since the physical stuff technically took place after school the administrators didn't care. My parents spoke with the kid’s mother (his dad was already dead from an overdose) but that useless too. After a couple of weeks (which felt like an eternity), a friend (older than my bully by two years) met us after school and stepped in when the bully approached me. He kicked the $hit out of him in front of the whole school. He just wailed on him until he started crying. Totally humiliated him, made him apologize and threatened to come back. Guess the bully got the message because he never bothered me again.
Something similar happened when I was little. This kid from school got his brother to bully us after school. When our older cousin (2 or 3 years older then us) found out, he choke slammed the Older Brother on the sidewalk. Always give that cousin credit, even if he does some stupid shit nowadays
I was also bullied but the friends of my older sister did it in a friendly and non violent way without anybody getting hurt
why is bullying the offender such a popular way to end it that just reinforces the behavior of the strong preying on the weak
@@josefehling1134 : How nice for you! Glad you were able to get things resolved peacefully. I guess my parents just got tired of their 11 year old son being sick to his stomach every morning and not wanting to get out of bed, school administrators not giving a $hit and the bully’s mom being completely unresponsive. I’m sure it would’ve been nice for us all to have worked out a pleasant resolution that didn’t involve violence, but I guess my parents just didn’t think of me as a sociological experiment or a living example of tolerance and acceptance for the school to admire. Their child was being assaulted every single day and they had to stop it. Period. The bully’s motivations weren’t of any concern. If you had children, you might understand.
@@ThomasFerrugia i feel you! My little brother who has physical and learning disabilities, was bullied relentlessly in school, and I was ALWAYS getting into so much trouble for sorting it out.. Until I left school to go to high school, then it got a lot worse, until the bully and my brother came up to my highschool, now I thought I could keep an eye on him , wrong! Anytime this kid did or said anything to my brother Id be there in a flash, and guess who got into trouble EVERY TIME.. thats right, me! So one day I asked a few lads off my estate who were in the same year as them to do whatever it takes to make sure this buly NEVER touches my brother again.... They went a little too far and the guy was in a 4 month coma, shattered skull, bleed on the brain, multiple broken bones apparantly he was unrecognisable, . he never fucked with anyone after that and even dropped out of school... I dont even feel bad tho cus hes in jail now for chomping on someones ear and face , guys a pussy
@@Squidda-xl9zd : It’s such a shame it had to come to that. But it was either your brother or the bully. F*cker brought it on himself and got what he deserved. Your little brother is lucky to have you looking out for him.
That show could have went on for years but, Scott Ryan WAS the entire show, and when he said he was done, he wasn’t kidding - Such a gifted writer and a fascinating actor to watch; the kind of guy that steals every scene he’s in … he’s definitely doin’ what he was meant to do and should be proud of his work.
The dialogue is outstanding, plus I love his and Gavin's friendship.
Dedication to the character is so undervalued today.
I will miss this show.
It was delightfully demented and consistent.
He's a damn good actor. I love this character.
Absolutely. Wish he could have given us just a few more seasons.
Yes Loved the Show !
With a mother like that, of course the kids are gonna turn out to be bullies.
I'll give her one thing.. the actress playing her is smoking hot..but usually the hottest burn to the touch.
"I don't answer questions, can I help you?" This kills me.. he is asking them if he can help them (and obviously they would have to ask him a question for him to do that) then he immediately shuts them down after they ask 😂😂😂
Not necessarily, they could tell him something in a statement without asking a question... But I get what you mean 😂
Well, there's a difference. Saying this to a stranger or a friend is odd.
To a police officer it's fine. They are there to investigate. Make arrests. Take in as much information as possible for any future cases.
I've been in a few situations where I should have said this lol
It's a idiom
I like the way he considers each question briefly, THEN responds "I don't answer questions." Keeps their hopes alive.
It's a way for him to get information from them without revealing anything about himself. Very good conversational tactic.
He handles every situation the way I wish I could 😂

Had a situation of continuing vandalism at our workplace. Just local teens and their parents just brushed it off. Police said there was nothing they could do. So, I walked around with a camera taking their pictures. After a while they started asking why I was taking their pictures. I told them that we knew the police could not do anything about the vandalism they were doing but I just wanted to make sure that the people we were hiring got the right people.

Haha it reminds me an interaction I had with Austin cops - where are you going? “ down the street” where did you come from ? “ down the street” what are you doing? “ walking down the street” - they didn’t know what to do.
What you expect from pigs? Happened to me too when i was in Austin. I'm not even from the US and i was there for a work conference. I was just walking towards the convenience store down the block from my hotel to buy some bottles of water when a cop car pulled over and demanded what i was doing, where i was going and why was i walking instead of driving. I was like, wtf? Luckily some dudes started recording and say to me to just walk away and ignore the pig since im not being detained
@@ShadowMoon878Only americans call cops "pigs" so you're 100% american
@@ShadowMoon878 I wonder what cops expect out of such encounters?
No one is ever going to admit "Oh I'm going to that convenience store to rob it. On foot of course, I don't want my getaway to be too quick." I think at best these cops think they can poke and prod someone enough into giving the slightest pushback then it's arrest for disorderly conduct. They didn't detect any crime, they didn't deter any crime, they manufactured a crime.
Very educational scene. With cops always remember that you can talk yourself into an arrest, but you can't talk yourself out of one.
Ray: You know, if I hit somebody, I generally got a pretty good reason.
Counselor: And you think you had a pretty good reason?
Ray: Didn't I just say that?
Counselor: So can you remind me again what that reason was?
Ray: Well, they were being assholes.
Counselor: The world is full of assholes, Ray, you do realize that?
Ray: Yeah and you know why?
Counselor: Why?
Ray: 'Cause people let them get away with it.
“I don’t answer questions” is now my favourite line, got the puzzled 😅
The actors playing cops must have had real cops consulting b/c they absolutely nailed the look a cop has when they realize the person they are trying to intimidate thinks they're assholes and isn't remotely impressed. It must have taken weeks to nail that constipated and powerless look cops get. Well done.

He seems like a really chill dude, honestly. Realistic portrayal of the world pushing a man into acting the 'wrong' way, when really all everyone had to do was not abuse him or his family.
While he does have a code of honour, he's not above killing someone solely for money.

The fraud guy that he hangs, and the and the biker he used to be friends with who he didn't really want to kill come to mind.
I know the fraudster indirectly caused the death of another person, and the bikers probably done some shady shit, but those deaths weren't quite as justifiable as most of the others.

That’s Ray’s “I tried to be nice, but you were a dick about it. Enjoy what happens next.” grin.
Nobody's kid would do anything wrong. It's a psychosis that begins the second the kid is born.
@@rockwellrhodes7703Almost right; They, as a parent, can do no wrong. The kid is just an extension of that. If they choose to deflect blame by saying the kid cant do no wrong, or if they throw the kid under the bus (sometimes even without the kid actually having done anything wrong), is dependent on the personality of the parent. Both methods are pretty common.
If I have to deal with cops in the future I'm going to use the same line ... "I don't answer questions". It's very effective.
No comment is another one.
There's a whole genre of UA-cam channel based on not answer police questions called First Amendment auditing, Although I guess it could be called Fifth Amendment.

I was bullied for years by a group of boys, who had a leader. I was sensitive and smaller than he was at the time. It was PTSD type stuff that I still deal with today. Neither the school nor the parents of the kid cared or did anything about it for years (this was mid to late 70s, things were different). Then my family went to live in England for a few years, and I ended up getting put in a lower class school. It was tough but I made tough friends and I grew larger and learned how to fight a little by scrapping with these kids. When I came back to the US the bully and I ended up in the same home room, first day of school. We were each 15. He started threatening me before the teacher got there, just launched in like no years had passed at all. He told me I was finished after class got out, he was really going to f&ck me up big time this time, etc. We went into the hall, and he immediately started swinging. And then I beat him so badly that he lost an eye. The school didn't give me much discipline because they felt guilty for letting the abuse go on for so long, he started the fight (with witnesses to that effect), and his parents knew what a monster they had raised (they were monsters themselves probably), and so did everyone else, so they didn't have much success seeking restitution for their little angel, or getting me punished.
This event was the only violent act I ever committed in my entire life. And I don't care what kind of family life he had that caused him to abuse me for half a decade. I don't feel bad about it at all. I rarely ever think about it, unless I come across an video such as this. And then I remember that every morning that bully wakes up, he remembers who I am, and he remembers how he earned his partial vision loss. Lesson to bullies: Stop now, because you are not always as in control of the situation as you might think you are, and you have no idea how the person you are tormenting might react on any particular day you are engaging in their abuse.
Eye believe you
I'm with bruh 👍
As am I
Elon Musk was bullied so severely that he was actually hospitalized. Guess who got the last laugh. The people who bullied him now are lucky to be sweeping out the floors of one of his companies. THAT is a message worth sending!
I too was bullied. My Dad gave me boxing lessons and I beat up the kid across the street. At the time I felt "victorious" and happy. Not so much now. I will have to have a life recapitulation during my "time to pass." I'm sure I will have to relive beating him up. Then, it won't be so great. At all.

That big smile the whole time had to be unsettling. 😂
Its the only language a bully understands its as simple as that.
Goes to show that kids learn from their parents. Taylor's mum shows up to the door and obviously doesn't care. Doesn't even pretend to be friendly and just assumes her kid is perfect and wouldn't bully anyone. Even contradicts herself in the same sentence "Don't call me 'love', mate". Clearly thinks she's all high and mighty and above everyone else, and thinks she can use her brother's status as a cop to bully others into submission.
Lucky for her she's not aggressive too, we all know what ray would do then :D
This,
Contradictory everywhere
Calls him mate when she doesn't wanna be called love, and straight up tries to intimidate and threaten him with her cop brother. Ray was trying to be civil the whole time and got shit for it
The whole situation is stupid. Don't ever go door to door to talk to someone's parents. If there are problems at school, report them there.
@@dChad014 agree on all of the above, except, there’s a big difference between calling someone “mate” and calling a girl “love”.
One’s historical Aussie vernacular that applies equally to both sexes and refers to an equal bonding relationship of ‘toil’ from which the slang was developed. It’s roots and meaning make it very relevant and still widely used today.
The other is condescending and chauvinistic inferring a controlling or dominant role. It’s commonly aligned with an earlier time of an unequal submissive housewife, and is used in modern times as a bonding word between partners, relatives or people in very close relationships.Used outside of this realm it is today, more often used as a derogatory slur with misogynistic connotations.

Perhaps not in your group of friends and associates, but there are in fact a lot of educated people in the world, even in Australia, who are capable of defining the very basics of their own language, stringing together some thoughts and providing a written interpretation of said thoughts …. it’s not exactly a complicated concept - but feel free to judge rather than learn and/or discuss.
This series ran for 3 seasons and is still on Hulu. Very realistic and this actor Scott Ryan created the character Ray, the series and I believe wrote and directed a bunch of the episodes. It’s gritty, amazingly realistic in many episodes. He’s a complicated criminal and in many episodes plays a more realistic equalizer, which is a skilled violent person who is not afraid to kill people. Its classified as a dark comedy and one of the best episodes is genius funny, but still violent. The character is also a doting dad, caring caregiver, shylock, paid assassin, loyal friend and retribution specialist all rolled into one. It was riveting.
My little brother dealt with a bully for like a day. We were 2 grades apart and my lil bro used to dress like the skaters with long hair back then. Some kids were throwing rocks at him and his friend. He came up too me and asked if I could do something about it. Maaan I felt like such a badass picking up a rock and saying “wanna see how it feels?” Lmao that bully ish stopped instantly; my bro never lets me forget that moment whenever we talk about the old days. That was like 20 years ago. No one messes with my Bestfriend :)

@@croissantlover1 Just out of curiosity what country are you from? Tbh most crimes under the age of 18 are not taken seriously lol, I'm from London and kids stab each other all the time here, they get a slap on the wrist maybe a couple years in jail at most, once they turn 18 the criminal record gets expunged so the reality is kids get away with an awful lot. Once you start getting tried as an adult, then it becomes serious. 2 kids fighting in the playground is 1 thing, 2 adult men fighting is completely different. That's how the justice system works in most countries, you continuously get a slap on the wrist lulling you into thinking you are getting away with your crimes, until that 1 day where you get the book thrown at you by the Judge and you get 20 years.

In real life there is mothers like that, that pass on bad traits to there kids. The kid sees how the mother uses her brother as protection for her bs behaviour instead of confronting the issue.

- "Why"?
- "I don't answer questions".

Amazing show. So happy I found out about it from TikTok, about the greatest thing that app has ever done. This was one of the exhilarating and beautifully paced shows I've seen in recent years. Scott Ryan is an absolute legend and genius.
I got bullied as a child by a few boys. My dad didn’t confront anyones parents but told me to go after the one with the mouth. I said what if they beat me up? He said that might happen, but the next time they want to bully someone you won’t be on their list. Appeasement makes the aggressor more aggressive.
Actually, my father would if the parents were A-holes, but it was after I fought down the bully. He wouldn't wait to see how they respond, and my father was psychotic when he lost his temper. So there were a couple parents who got this shit scared out of them. When I first learned to defend myself at the age of 8, I had two bullies ganging up on me. So, he told me go after the big one. I responded, "I'm going to lose." He said, "That's right! You are not going to win and that's ok not to win. But you are not fighting to win. Your goal is pain! How much pain can you inflict on that boy before it's over." He showed me exactly what body parts to attack and don't stop punching those parts no matter. Never stop! I did lose the fight, but no one ever messed with me again. That kid was in bad shape too.

I had no chance. I just took it. Sometimes I look back and wonder what would have happened if I saidfuck it, did swing and break my hand. Sometimes, I’m glad I still have my teeth 😂😂
This was a truly fantastic show, I wish it had had more seasons.
I had an interesting experience with bullies. There were are group of them in High School, with the usual leader. I was bullied a bit sophomore and junior year. I had problems, but also things to do, so I just avoided them. Escape and Evasion is a legitimate military tactic. Towards the end of junior year, the bully picked on the wrong person and ended up getting a serious beatdown. He missed school for several days and when he came back, everyone had found out. He was much less aggressive after that. I still just avoided him and his group. It inspired me later in life to take up martial arts. I trained for years: mostly Taekwondo, Baguazhang, Arnis and Tai Chi. I have not been bullied since, nor have I had to use the things I learned. I think it has a lot to do with energy, vibe, the way you carry yourself. Martial arts, boxing, that sort of stuff really helps health and quality of life well beyond resolving this issue. In some ways now, I am thankful for all of my past, these disciplines have given much more to me than I lost with a little sneaking around. When in doubt, just find a good reputable teacher and train. Boxing is a great base.
"it's just weird, he does exactly what lawyers advise everyone should do when questioned by police. Including the lawyer the police pay for."
What baffles me is how many Americans are commenting on here that this would never work in the US, land of Miranda rights.
Gratified to see this bully halted before real damage occurs mentally to the victim. Strange but true how the way to stop bullying is to be a bully back!
I think it's because most bullies are cowards. They want easy pray, not a challenge.
You don't "bully" back ever. You do a one strike then smile that you've won
@@borris3768 nah some really take a beating or two before they get the message
The only way too stop a bully is too put fear into them stronger than the one they put into you. If they broke your arm, you need too break there leg and take an eye, just how it is.
Brilliant show, wish they'd do more than just 3 seasons.
I love how he's quiet, polite and smiling and yet absolutely nobody would mistake whats truly being said.
I've still not watched this show. I've just seen clips on YT.
I suspect something fantastic has flown under the radar. He portrays that role perfectly.
This show should be mentioned in the same breath as shows like the Wire, Breaking Bad, and Top Boy. Absolutely top-notch crime drama. I miss Ray.
wtf is Top Boy?
I ended my bullying by beating the everliving hell out of one of my bullies. They just pushed me too far one day and I snapped when one of them tried to push me down. I broke is nose, dislocated his shoulder, and gave him a concussion.
Interestingly, I didn't get punished. The school wouldn't stop the bullying, but it also didn't do anything to me when I stopped it on my own. Nobody bothered me after that day, and I got to spend my last two years of high school in peace.
Bullies only respond to one thing: violence or the threat of it.
No you didn't. We went to school together, I remember you. You never stood up for yourself, not even once. Stop roleplaying to strangers, Josh.
@@IntegrityGames If you really went to school with me, you know the incident.
What was the school in question? It would be interesting to catch up with a former schoolmate.
You’re not cool mate
@@Josh-99
And he never responded back
@@FoxyBoxery Yeah, he'd know about the incident if he had been there. It was a private school, and it turned into a whole thing. The parents of the bully called the police and threatened to press charges, but I had all these documented incidents where I had reported the bullying and the school did nothing, so not only could I claim self-defense but I could potentially have pressed charges against the bully and the school. Everyone in upper division (7 through 12) knew about it. It actually made the bullying problem better at the school... for a while, at least.
I just love that actor. Can watch him all day. They need to hire him and put him in more tv and movies. What a face and mannerism, and at the same time so gentle with his little girl.
He's the writer, and this and it's predecessor are the only things he's acted in. Incredible.
Just watched the last episode...in my humble opinion the best thing I've seen in ages.
Agreed!
Can't rely on cops for anything. Got sort it out yourself.
The institution of police and law enforcement has been corrupted. They are just there to collect a paycheck.
Can't rely on schools.
Got these bad seeds the schools, seem to want to give unlimited chances to
that's not true, they're a pretty reliable pain in the ass
@@NayokeHenji XD True
Yeah, if your a dirt bag. Quit committing crimes.
I got bullied a lot in middle and high school but had made enough changes by junior and senior year that kids basically left me alone. One day a kid who used to make fun of me (never on his own, always just as part of the group) pulled me aside to apologize for how he treated me. I knew he was not a bad person, he was just trying to fit in with the other kids. I told him it was no big deal but thanks. It was not “no big deal”. It is one of the most important memories of my youth, and one I think back on often.
You said that because your likely particularly sensitive and unlike the shite's that gave you a hard time you actually think about how your actions impact on others. For many who go through such trials it does make you wonder what benefit you gained from it in a Karmic sense? One thing is for sure, bullies do seem to come unstuck mostly...
I was bullied all through elementary and a little through 6th grade until during football practice I tackled the quarter back (one of the main two) hard multiple times.
One of the best shows on Australian TV. Superb.
This is, hands down, one of the greatest shows to ever grace a television.
Kids tried to bully me when I was growing up. At first I was reserved just like most kids would react but one day I just started throwing hands. Helicopter punches, slaps across the face with lunch trays, pulling their shirts over their head and hammer on them, u name it! Just let loose man.
It was not an easy thing to do by any means. But one day the anger just took over and it gave me a lot of courage to throw those first strikes. In my experience fighting back hard helped. They got the message pretty damn quickly. “Don’t mess with that one”
Ray: What?
Daughter: I don't answer questions.
Australian Steve Buscemi will always be the scariest.
Whoever wrote this plot, you're awesome and nicely done also very satisfying, thank you so much 🙏🏻👍
Mr Inbetween is right up there with Underbelly, Bikie Wars, and Blue Murder.
My son told me he was getting bullied in school by a bigger kid. I asked for his name and it turned out he was the son of one of my very best friends. I told my son I'd take care of it and made a quick call to my friend; told him not to go overboard but please let the kid know mine was one kid not to mess with. Problem solved.
One of the best shows ever. This guy is genius.
This guy's smile tho!.
I was bullied all through High School. In the summer just before my senior year, one of the bullies and his buddy smacked me as they walked by me in an alley. I broke the bully's knee and told his friend to tell everyone at school what had happened. My senior year was the most peaceful one, ever.
Petra Jenkins asks Ray, "You think you scare me or something?"Chuckle, chuckle. Yeah, you should be scared. That's Ray Shoesmith standing there.....
One of the wisest men I ever met was a man named Steve (he passed decades ago). When I was a kid, he told me, "There's always a bully no matter where you go." I'm 43 and after having travelled extensively, he's been proven soooo right.
Most under-rated show on TV. I absolutely loved every minute of this one.
Great show, wish we could get another season.
Can you imagine the next season with Ray as a taxi driver the mind boggles as to the twists that could be written into that.
His smile is terrifying
The interaction with the cops feels like a Monty Python skit - loved it!
This is the best Australian series I have ever seen. I watched and enjoyed every episode.
The smile on the bigger girls face gave me chills!
This hit home..I got bullied for 2 years from 6th to 7th grade until I figured out that a brick to the face and 52 stitches later issued to that bully it suddenly stopped.
52? Jeez sounds like you almost killed him
Miss this series so much!! One of the best I’ve seen. So good.
This is such a great series it truly is, it's my new tv addiction, my only detraction of it is, that the episodes aren't long enough
“You think you scare me?” She has no idea.
A boy use to bully me my sis and my cousin “ were girls” because we were kinda poor so we had whole apples for lunch one day and we put them plus a few other kids didn’t want in a big ole purse we use to carry to school. At recess we were standing behind the building out of the cold wind “no coats” and here he comes. We beat the crap out of him with the purse full of apples and that was the end of his bulling us😂
I shortly missed The magician at work🤣🤣❤😎
Fantastic show. It’s very unfortunate that nothing is stepping up to fill the artistic voids left she shows like this stop.
I had to watch this a few times before I realized he has his front entrance intentionally set up in a way so he can interact with people outside his house while still having a physical barrier they would have to violate if they wanted to touch him.
One of the best shows ever ! Watched them all 2- 3 times ! Would love to see more ! Top 10 of all time and that’s going back 60 years !
“Okay”
…………
“See ya”
😂😂😂😂😂
Wow he got everything he needed from the cops by just saying i don’t answer questions
Parents who say "My kid wouldn't do that" usually have the worst kids.
That kind of parenting creates spoilt, horrible children.
I can't deny the thought runs through my mind, but I sure as hell won't say it, let alone let my kids run around being holy terrors. They start bullying, I'll set up a meeting with the parents and the victim and let em know that I've talked to my kids about it, told em knock it off or else if they keep it up, I'd tell who they're bullying I'm giving permission to defend themselves. Alternatively, my kids get bullied, same thing, except I'll make it clear it stops, or my kids gonna defend themselves and put it to an end.
Seriously can’t get enough of this character. Props to the writer, props to the actor. This is one of the only shows in recent memory that I’m dying to see in its entirety
The writer and the actor are the same person. One of the best shows I've seen in a long time. Been through it three times now.
@@mikeincanada_ I had no clue, Scott Ryan is a legend
@@smilescries5325The crazy part is this is all he's ever done. Scott Ryan first appeared as Ray in a 2005 movie, went AWOL and came back to give us this gem. His IMDB is wild considering how good this show is.
@@mikeincanada_ why does this guy keep getting cooler the more you tell me 😂😂 he came out of nowhere just to say “by the way this is how you make television, how you act too”
" It's someone here who can answer questions" had me dying 😂😂😂
One of the best series i have ever seen! awesome actor perfect for the role.... i hope they make more season's of it!
Many years ago now, my little (12 years old) brother was targeted at our local skatepark by a bigger "tough" guy about his same age, who had the backing of his much older (16 years old) brothers and their crew. I sat somewhere in the middle. This kid stole my brothers board and wouldn't give it back, doing the classic shit like taking off his shirt, getting in my very shy brother's face and generally being a massive punisher. I can still remember looking over at this bloke's brothers and mates - the "head" of the viper and I made eye contact and I could see they were testing us. Could just read it in his face.
So I walked over, clobbered the wee fucker square in the face and kicked him up the arse for good measure. Took the board and we left. On the way past, the big lads did nothing - just a wee nod and a few stern words at the younger boy's protestations. I'm now in my late 30s and deeply aware of the fact this is hardly a cool story, and certainly am not proud of hurting someone like that - but like Ray says, sometimes there is such a thing as good violence.
