The Wee man

DevAdvocate said:
Ferris was Hit Man (or knife man) for Arthur Thomson, the so called Godfather of Scottish crime. I've neither seen the movie nor read the book because I fear it will be similar in tone and content to Jimmy Boyle's book A sense of Freedom which had more fairy stories than Hans Christian Andersen. Jimmy Boyle was not as bad as they made out, he was a misunderstood and wronged man, like Ferris.

I've no doubt Boyle and Ferris are "Decent" blokes who never harmed an innocent, just like they make out.

Then again maybe they were not very nice people who would knife you for a fiver.

Exactly.

Any criminals book/story is always laden with bollocks anyway.

It's the human condition to lie and exaggerate. Papilion being a prime example.

Eddie called him a legend, and when I pulled him up on it, you called me a fanny (<wah>)

Yes because you completely misinterpreted what eddie said. In the first line eddie called him a dafty himself. You choose to single out one word.

They are all the same, Blink and a few others of that Ilk have gone straight now, probably nice guys if you know them. I have met and have been friends with similar individuals who are great fun and quite trustworthy, but then sociopaths are often quite affable in certain circumstances, but they give off an air of being a split second away from knifing anyone who is nearby.

I've known 2 hitmen in the past. One was a lovely bloke, the other a complete nutter who threatened to stab me for fuck all.
 
Any human with violent tendencies doesn't change.

I don't believe any **** who went on to murder people, for money or not, is a good ****.

They might figure out how to control their urges but they are still the same ****s.

This will have to stop MD, we can't go on agreeing like this.

As a mate of mine (A copper) told me years ago, in his experience Judges and Sheriffs (And more importantly, members of Joe Public on the jury) don't seem to realise that some people are just plain Evil and will often give them the benefit of the doubt for no good reason.
