Ten years ago Shaun Smith was an enforcer for one of the biggest crime families in Liverpool and embroiled in a war against a rival drug gang.
Shaun introduced urban terrorism to the British underworld. He sprayed up houses with machine guns, tortured people and used homemade napalm to firebomb his enemies.
Today, after a spell of five years in prison for firearms offences, he is trying to transfer those skills to the legal economy by working as a debt collector in the northern English satellite town of Warrington.

All the Americans claiming that in their country guns would prevent people
like these from doing this haven’t heard of the Cosa Nostra. You guys live
in a fucking bubble.
Several years ago, on foot of a hotly contested alleged ‘debt’ an English
debt collector threatened to ‘come see me at home’ – I’m Irish… I gave
him my address and offered to ‘make an appointment’ – he looked it up (and
took advice) and I never saw his cowardly ass. “Tough Guys” are only tough
when they have assessed that you are ‘smaller’ than they are, or that you
are alone. In other words, they’re all cowards. Pity he didn’t come – I had
a party arranged for him. LOL
Where exactly are these muscular British men who actually look like men?
All I see in the streets of London is skinny white-collar snobby men who
look like 15-year-olds and have too much ego.
As a response to the 2 main themes of this comment section I am making this
post.
1. Military: America has superior numbers, England has better training.
2. Guns are for cowards that know they can’t win in an up close fight
(military excluded since they HAVE to go in with guns since every single
person they’re going to be against will be using a gun)
PS. A note about the 2nd amendment. You claim to have guns for self
defense, you then claim you keep said weapons locked away to keep children
or other family members from getting injured by them. If it’s locked away
it’s clearly not for self defense because if someone breaks into your house
they aren’t exactly going to wait for you to go and arm yourself. You have
1 reason for owning a gun, it’s pretty fucking shit but it’s literally the
only reason you have and that is “I like guns” not “self defense”. If you
are sat raging at what you’ve just read maybe consider it’s because I’m
making valid points and you’re not happy that you’re wrong.
These Americans are like children. All hype like the US army.
19:30. The two men being rebuked and threatened, especially the tatted one,
are the biggest beta male pushovers that I’ve ever seen in my life; they
epitomize this concept. This confrontation must have been staged.
Has america ever won a war by themselves?
I am an American, or ” ‘meericunt” as some of you so humorously call us. I
have a permit that allows me to carry a pistol almost anywhere I want to.
Permit holders are an asset to public safety. Scumbags will always get
ahold of guns. I could go to the U.K. and get hold of any kind of gun I
wanted if I had some cash in my pocket. You have given up your rights and
freedoms, don’t ask us to do it. Criminals laugh at gun laws there as they
do here. Yes violent crime is lower in the UK that was true before strict
gun laws also. 90% of violent crime is drug related in the U.S.. those who
will not obey drug laws will not obey gun laws.
thats because in the UK there is not many guns, knock knock 3 big muscle
heads standing at your door, in the usa you have a gun, in the UK guess
what no gun well your screwed… that shawn dude is probably an asshole to
anyone u tell him to collect money from, as long as he gets paid.. he would
get shot in the usa
if it was a cop everyone would be saying how he is abbusing his power and
shit, but this debt collector can do it? fuck that, i would slam the door
on his face i tell you hwat
I love the americans in the comments, dont even know what they’re talking
about.
The guy seems like a bit of a cunt, but then again I have no idea of his
life, and Im he has his reasons
HEY PARTY POOPER Fuck the British we chased you out of here a few centuries
ago. YOU HAD GUNS. WE HAD FARM EQUIPMENT.. GO FIGURE TUFF GUY! STARS AND
STRIPES SHIT ON THE UNION JACK AKA TOILET PAPER.. YOU PEOPLE FOLLOW US AND
DEPEND ON US. YOU WOULD NEVER BE IN IRAQ OR AFGHANISTAN WITHOUT US LEADING
THE WAY! FACE THE FACTS AND GET BEHIND AS ALWAYS. OPEN A HISTORY BOOK AND
SEE I SPEAK THE TRUTH! YOU ALL NEED BETTER DENTISTS FOR STARTERS
Wow. I clicked on the video out of curiosity and lo and behold a
fascinating documentary. I was sucked in the very first minute. Shaun is
such an interesting person, having to deal with all that crap while being a
supportive father. I would never want to be on his bad side that’s for
sure. The relationship between Shawn and Nat is really interesting and
uplifting as well. In fact I really felt for Nat and hope he’s continued to
do well, winning the war against his demons.
Anyways, great documentary.
Everybody knows England is full of pussies including the queen ….fck your
system
I understand the point of view of all of the Europeans, but when push comes
to shove, this motherfucker wouldn’t last a week over here. I’m not saying
I agree with it, because I don’t, but large debts are not settled with
fists in this neck of the woods. I, as an American, wish that it was. I
love guns, and own many, but I have never even considered bringing them
into a confrontation, unless someone broke into my house. I also love
fighting, and I believe that is the way things were meant to be settled.
So, in short, he wouldn’t make a dime in America, but I wish I lived in a
place where the skill in your hands would demand respect. Sadly, here, it
doesn’t. But you also have to consider, that the fact that we all have
guns, keeps three muscle bound assholes from showing up at our door,
because we would put them down as they ran. Balance is tough to find. lol
Come to America and get shot bitches
If dude was in America especially in the south side of Chicago he would of
been dead a long time ago…Brits r p*ssies…some one would of walked up
to his face, in his gym pulled out a gloc and smoked the red coat right
there and then…it happens here everyday in the city
There is nothing even remotely intimidating about a *British male*. Your
stereotype is a tea-sipping, intellectual gentleman of the upper class. A
rough, brutal savage of utmost masculinity is on the complete opposite end
of the scale. But nonsense, don’t listen to me. Please do lecture me as to
my ignorance, you “wankers”. GG “mates”.
lol I hate Americans, I really do. On every single video like this, you’ll
find at least ten of them telling you *”what would happen if it was in
America”*, like we’re all supposed to give a fuck. You don’t see Aussies,
Canadians, Kiwis, Danes, Swedes, Norwegians, Germans, Russians or anyone
else do it. It’s always noisy American wankers.
People keep arguing to see which country is the best, honestly, i’m quite
envious, i always feel like moving, since my country is always competing to
fail at every sort of thing.
Most likely every place in the world is sort of a paradise in comparison to
Brazil or in the worst scenarios, it’s almost the same. Like Africa we
starve. Like in Venezuela our economy is ruining. Like in North Korea/China
our government is attempting to control the local media and the internet
content.
We can’t carry guns, only those who have the government approval can do so,
still, we have over 60k+ homicides a year by gunfire *[not taking into
account any other crimes which a gun is also used, like, robbery,
kidnapping and et cetera.]*. Three times more homicides by guns than USA
with Ten times less guns. And people keeps criticizing gun laws in USA,
lol. I really hope one day people will start to hate Brazil, that way,
maybe the politicians will try to do something for it’s people in order to
make amends with the world.
Hate Brazil, please.
I’m from the U.S. and i’d rather live in any European country. FUCK this
stupid shitholes government. FUCK the people, FUCK everything that shithole
is i’d watch it burn and laugh. Cheers to all the eurofucks out there, fill
a mug for me.
Lol Americans and English both love to hate on each other, it’s a damn
shame almost all of them are too damn ignorant to even have a real opinion.
Most don’t anything about the other country because they’ve never actually
been there. They just want to be edgy and tough by talking trash, and
regurgitating second hand opinions they don’t even understand.
Damn I feel bad for you all. Hopefully you’ll all wake up one day, throw
away your useless pride and realize everyone is just a human being and that
you’ve been acting like a huge piece of shit.
In America they wouldn’t last very long doing this kinda stuff. They can
get by with it over there, because everybody is unarmed prey.
They took your guns, so the steroid thugs can kick yor door down and beat
the shit outa you with no fear. Then they took yor knives so that you won’t
cut the criminal and hurt him while he beats you to death. Then they took
yor pepper spray, cause it could burn the criminals eyes and he can’t see
what he’s doing when he rapes you. Britain is a damn criminal paradise.
How are guns for “faggots”. A bullet ripping through your skull wouldn’t
make you think that
