Any man you see in Australia wearing a fanny pack, or "bum-bag" as we call it here, is usually a biker or someone of a similar background. Definitely a fashion item amongst criminal types.
My Dad turned 80 this year and is an ex-paratrooper bad ass. But age has caught up with him so he just looks like a regular old man nowadays. Looking at him you would have no idea of the unbelievably crazy, harsh and brutal life he lived growing up in North West England during the 60's / 70's. When he came out of the military he got a reputation around town for being a dangerous man as he was an incredibly large and powerful individual with a frightening temper. When i was younger (in my teens / 20's) i'd walk into the local pubs and the older guys in there would be fascinated with me because they knew i was his son and they would tell me wild stories about the things he got up to back in the day. So whenever i see an old man who has made it into his 70's (or above) i always have an extreme curiosity in them and their lives. The old fellas we usually turn a blind eye to have some amazing stories if you're willing to listen to them. Especially the quieter old blokes.
People that are "Disgusted by violence" generally aren't, they just haven't been put or pushed into a position where they don't have a choice and they just got to use it sometimes violence is the only answer.

"My mother had one leg, and he started flogging her like a fucking prize fighter." Sometimes there are some people who did horrible things that turned out to be great fucking things that just needed to be done. I can only imagine, if this man wasn't born with the wrong father what incredible good he would've done in the world. What a force of nature. He did what he had to, and played the best possible game with the worst hand ever dealt to anyone... that's it. Hats off to you, sir.
he's not disabled. I had all that and every person on the planet shitting on me for not being born normal enough to fit in anywhere. I broke my stepfather's arm with a cricket bat and left home at 14. worst hand ever dealt to anyone. he grew up in an australian home with domestic violence in it. fuck me you're sheltered if you think that's as bad as life gets.
who evere looks up to this man or thinks he is a top bloke ,really need to find better more positive role models please try to educate yourself and become less ignorant
old age changes people... but this fella didn't even have an ounce of regret or lesson learned.. he only regret of not having a green lit from the police anymore.. smh..
Read his biography a few years back "ABO, A TREACHEROUS LIFE". I don't glamourize people like this but with that horrific family violence background I can sort of understand how things panned out. You'd just like any of his offspring to grow up as decent clean skins.

I grew up in the southern suburbs of Sydney for my teens and it was wall-to-wall violence: violence was a currency; it smoothed your path through the weekend; got you action; I was only beaten once, and that was from a king-hit; if you could deflect a punch and return one, mostly it was fun, like sport; sometimes it was ridiculously easy to lay a bloke out. . .the worst cases were square-offs. . .who makes that first move? at seventy, I could still hold my own
but there is a very fine line between life and death , just look how many one punch killings there has been . Being capable of throwing a punch does not make you innocent of manslaughter even if the other bloke threw the first punch in front of 100 witnesses
I did 4 years in prison in my 20's, 3 of which were max and It was my first and only time in prison. Im 35 now - anyways.... Oddly enough some of the guys with the worst crimes In there, were all normal looking guys. Like the dude who helps you pay for your redbull at the store because your 50 cents short type of normal.

I beat so many gangster n most of them just talk n expert at giving empat threat.. if u just let they hitting u well they will continue to treat u like a punching bag.. but if u fight well it’s always going to end well
It's hell interesting that when he's talking to the interviewer in the pub and he brings up his personal traumas with his dad and his mum, the whole scene he hardly even looks the interviewer in the eye, like it's hard for him to say what he's saying and not feel like it's disingenuous... or sad.
Before CCTV, mobile phones, all that shit, these old skool gangsters in Sydney/Melbourne were as hard as fucking nails and ruthless, a breed of their own, only god knows what truly they used to get up to, the amount of times they got away with doing terrible things, but back then I guess that’s just how it was…
He should still be in prison. Prison should not exist for the purpose of punishment, but for the purpose of deterrent. This man will teach the youth what to look up to, and they will commit similar violent acts with no inhibition because they know they can get away with only 6 years if they get caught.
Yes and people admire him.......imagine how many missings there are and the families of them. Just some stupid kid who who had no clue and that's all it takes. He is psychopathic he regrets nothing not even killing, oh but not women. Wow such a gentleman. And there he is smug as whilst I can't even get a chance in life and I kept away from this life. Life truly is not fair.
he has a respectable vibe becouse he is quite tall, especially for his age. if he was a fat dwarf or even a skinny dwarf u wouldnt think twice about messing with him if u didnt know him.
I'm 63, I've fought as long as I can remember and even now, I workout, stay in shape. I had a conversation with a dope head who poisoned my dog.

@@gastarbeiter8384 I disagree. If you fear someone, you won’t respect that person necessarily. Someone might be more powerful than you and does evil things to you, but the second that person turns their back towards you, or the opportunity is there, you would do anything to make that person go away. Like a big bully in your school and you attack him from behind because your parents decided to move to another town. No respect. But you can respect someone you also fear. Someone who has to do what they do. Like a boss firing you for a reason or someone you fight that beats you because he is a better fighter.
@@gastarbeiter8384 you are quite thick aren't you m8, the difference in fear and respect is trust, you don't trust someone you fear, and you trust people you respect. Just because they sometimes have the same effects doesn't mean they are the same thing.

They talk about PTSD these days but I have known many a person who suffered at the hands of poor men that came back from that war. It's affects lasted a long time after it was over.
He went missing in the 5th of may 1988 lmao but no officer I don’t no what happen to him
9th of May 1985
and there are still at least 2 different stories about who whacked Flannery .....
Abo is a chaser of publicity. He thrives on it.
gangster ? That’s pretty much any bloke born in the 50s-60s
yeah hardly the most dealiest
Any bloke born in the 50s and 60s viciously murdered lots of people and committed consistent armed robberies and heroin dealing ?? Bit of a dumb statement.
@@smiley9664 Dumb comment only if you think this guy did 99% of the shite he thinks he did
the funny thing is both abo henry and the prosecuter he stabbed in the neck both still reside in the area.
Hard as nails. This bloke would top most these hard guys staunching the streets
No, no he really wouldn’t

@@noelandrews7509 Mate I grew up in Whyalla South Australia, a steal making town of about 10,000 people, where a good weekend was a fight, a fuck and a few beers and bongs and play some Aussie rules footy
Trust me, this guy isn’t anything special
And WTF are you calling me hipster for? I would be the least hipster person you would meet
See, your issue is you have made a baseless assumption regarding me because of a comment I wrote, not real bright are you Noel
Why don’t you sing me a Xmas carol Noel like a good little boy, the adults are talking
@@thefourthwritedjentleman3643 Prove it, he's tough and hard.
He said ''fvcking'' in thie video way more times than I ever did in my life. Fvcking legend.
The tip is always fight back n never let them hitting u.. otherwise they can do watever they want wiz u.. it’s ur fault by not fight back n they think u r punching bag.. I beat so many gangster n most of them just talk n expert at giving empat threat.. if u just let they hitting u well they will continue to treat u like a punching bag.. but if u fight well it’s always going to end well
wow.. a gangster beater over here. wowowowowowowow
No it's not a;ways going to end well some fight back and get stabbed
This dude lives the down the street from me no joke
Egg his house late at night 4 shits and giggles
Go see if he can still av a row mate
@@savageinjun7958 He already has done and it didn't turn out well.
Great interview, nice Mayhem shirt too 🤘
It's hell interesting that when he's talking to the interviewer in the pub and he brings up his personal traumas with his dad and his mum, the whole scene he hardly even looks the interviewer in the eye, like it's hard for him to say what he's saying and not feel like it's disingenuous... or sad.
Before CCTV, mobile phones, all that shit, these old skool gangsters in Sydney/Melbourne were as hard as fucking nails and ruthless, a breed of their own, only god knows what truly they used to get up to, the amount of times they got away with doing terrible things, but back then I guess that’s just how it was…
A breed of their own in what way?every town or city has a ruthless underworld what sets sydney and Melbourne apart?
Not a patch on British gangsters though……

3:57……. His eyes show what this man has been thru and what he had to become 😈
He should still be in prison. Prison should not exist for the purpose of punishment, but for the purpose of deterrent. This man will teach the youth what to look up to, and they will commit similar violent acts with no inhibition because they know they can get away with only 6 years if they get caught.
Yes and people admire him.......imagine how many missings there are and the families of them.
Just some stupid kid who who had no clue and that's all it takes.
He is psychopathic he regrets nothing not even killing, oh but not women.
Wow such a gentleman.
And there he is smug as whilst I can't even get a chance in life and I kept away from this life.
Life truly is not fair.
You only see an old man... But that old man can hold many many secrets
Secrets hidden only in fanny packs mate
@@savageinjun7958 your comment is so australian that i think my phone turned into a British colony (im just joking i dont want to offend)
Just to be clear this IS NOT cool and this man is NOT proud of his work
He sure seemed pretty proud.
Don't know how you can live that life once you have kids. Surely at that point there's just too much to lose.
whats more amazing is that.he doesnt seem to be toned down with age, i mean at some point you start to think dont you?
He's always thinking, men like him wouldn't have lasted if they were stupid.
please make camera shakier - too stable
Making a hero out of a bloke who needed the cops to help him. Can't be honour in that.
New South Wales police are our best behaved convicts. More crooked than the crims.
It's not like cops are honourable they would lock up there own mother's if they didn't get jabbed or take poison?
crooked cops made him top. made millions
5'6 110 pound high school Edgars: hold my beer
he has a respectable vibe becouse he is quite tall, especially for his age. if he was a fat dwarf or even a skinny dwarf u wouldnt think twice about messing with him if u didnt know him.
I'm 63, I've fought as long as I can remember and even now, I workout, stay in shape. I had a conversation with a dope head who poisoned my dog. Tried very hard to make him have a bite of a poison candy bar he left for my dog on my front porch. Even after I stomped a mud hole in his ass, he still wouldn't eat the candy. It is like I told him, I just want to be left alone, live a peaceful life and u bring this into it. He was pretty embarrassed an old man broke his nose and jaw
Yea am calling bullshit
Hope you are going to jail, answering injustice with violence is what led to a lot of evil in this world.
You couldn’t break a Kit Kat in half my man, stop talking shite
Stop yer fuckin dry snitchin mate
Sounds like that Tarantino movie haha
WHEN YOU OLD AND YOUR MIND STILL CHILDISH
I've never heard anyone say "fuck" more than this man right here rofl
Imagine the convo between Gordon Ramsey graham henry
That octopus analogy at the start was funny
well this guys are very lucky they are in Australia, but if this guys does their stuffs here in the Philippines they will not age that is for sure.
So hes stabbed people in the throat 100 times and he still aint in prison tf
Can confirm, the overwhelming sense of calm that falls over you like a cool sheet when you let it out on someone who deserves it.
I'd wager the only person you "let it out on" was your mum when she forgot to put sugar in your sippy cup.
@@segamegadrive3903 what if he did stab you tho? would teach you to mind your business thats for sure. 80% of people carry a weapon anywhere and no one wnats to go to jail. bu tyou do it to someone who wants to go to jail and thats you dead
@@segamegadrive3903 Did you batter this junky?
Why is this guy aloud to walk the streets.
He,s the real deal.the stabing of mall spence, was the and of the green light.the man was the Procter on ,side,without him no more green light.
So he ruined it for everyone?
Do you even English ?
Thats abbo henry hes my mate i got the pic of him n neddy together before they become emortal enemies my dad n heny used to yarn at my dads brothel my Dad was sammy lapa the 1 who owned all the upper class brothels now its just cleos

Thats what happens when you never grow up or fully develop a functioning brain
He is a tool and respect and fear are not the same thing
Fear is definitely a form of respect.
@@gastarbeiter8384 I disagree. If you fear someone, you won’t respect that person necessarily. Someone might be more powerful than you and does evil things to you, but the second that person turns their back towards you, or the opportunity is there, you would do anything to make that person go away. Like a big bully in your school and you attack him from behind because your parents decided to move to another town. No respect. But you can respect someone you also fear. Someone who has to do what they do. Like a boss firing you for a reason or someone you fight that beats you because he is a better fighter.
@@Nrandonom134 and still, you wont disrespect the bully because you fear him. Fear is a form of respect no matter how you see it. Its a fact bro
You sound weak
@@gastarbeiter8384 you are quite thick aren't you m8, the difference in fear and respect is trust, you don't trust someone you fear, and you trust people you respect. Just because they sometimes have the same effects doesn't mean they are the same thing.
The aura of this Man, the teeth clenching while recalling, I feel so pumped. Stabbing someone is a felony. You have to be greenlit for that.
Only 6 years for stabbing prosecutor! Damn
Billy Finch was Australia's first real gangster
This is how we are ment to be.xxx pure respect to you sir.xx ❤❤❤
Good old Waterloo area
is anyone else wondering why this is on vice Asia
What a lovely, gentle old man❤
He was pretty sure on the date that hitman Chris Flannery went missing, for someone that said "I think". He was able to recall the exact date pretty quickly 😆🤣
all the players in the scene knew, or know, more or less, the end that met Chris Flannery.
never underestimate an old man in a business you usually die young
