@Sammy I was thinking for awhile that there was something familiar about this guy. I just realized that he is a lot like this dude I used to work with years ago. He was an alright guy except when he started going on a protracted monologues about either his landlord, the chandeliers in his apartment, or the tools going down for maintenance in the lab. Man, that guy would talk nonstop about literally one of those three things all the time until one day he got fired for cussing out his supervisor out of frustration caused by policy changes in the lab we worked in. Anyway, I don't know what brought that up but a little ditty I thought I would mention and an entirely true one as well. Cheers my friend!
@Sammy says the guy who doesn't know that "Even a broken clock is right twice a day" I'm sure you're the type who thinks the elected officials are the BOSS of things and the public at large shouldn't have a say. Yes Ray is a pain in the ass but it's necessary for the council to hear from him.
@@vievealasvegas1 Yes we wood, cause da tapes showed dat it was two minits n 10 secinz, n not da tree minits like mr. manure said, so he perjured himself.
Seriously there is something so entertaining about Ray’s beautiful mind, constantly finding a way to fight against the board, no matter what he is talking about. Whether its his being prevented from going swimming or being bent outta shape about a cop there to maintain order. He is definitely a few sandwiches short of a picnic but he is entertaining af.
Only someone who’s never served on a city council would say that. The vast majority of elected municipal officials are volunteers. They’re sacrificing their personal time to try to make a difference and to keep the gears of government and administration moving. Of course there are a few bad apples, as there is in every field and profession. But the vast majority are serving in good faith. People like Mr. Lyman are a nuisance. The courts have weighed in plenty on public comments, and lots of people would be surprised that limits can be placed on the time a member of the public can speak. If they were just allowed to speak ad nauseam, meetings would never end. Here in Massachusetts, the only time public comment is required is at a public hearing, which are required for very specific things. People like Mr. Lyman waste everyone’s time and offer nothing productive. I can’t believe these councilors are even responding to him. So no, no one’s first amendment rights are being violated. Don’t like it, petition the supreme court. That’s every American’s right.
"He don't know is he doing" while I laughed my ass off this is truly a book by its cover situation. On the surface you'd think he's inept by style of conversation but everything he brings up was forged by courage, honesty, and humility. This guy is amazing
I said this to myself the first time i saw him (from a 2007 meeting with "miss scateli") - this is what our founders envisioned, a republic with an inquisitive citizenry who will challenge their elected leaders at every turn and that's what this gentleman does - I wish we had a million more like him because the country is falling apart out west and in the really big cities where elected leaders are out of control.
Okay you can say that, but his solutions are Bingo and parking meters for Hospitals. The main problem with this country is idiots with bad questions and no answers.
Agree 110 percent, a lot of people day something is off but he is entertaining. He is committed and he cares, I guess that is what people find being off. I say every damned one of us should be just like this guy!
Not really. You're describing Populism, and the Founders detested it, as they were mostly aristocrats who feared uneducated mobs meddling with law and public policy. They ranged the gamut from Adams & Madison (who were quite anti-democracy) to Hamilton & Jefferson (who were more pro, although still haughty). The most pro-people 'Founders' (although I'm not sure they really count) were Thomas Paine and Benjamin Franklin.
I'm just seeing this now. It's been many years since these videos took place and it is refreshing to see Ray take a stand like this. Go Ray. I hope Ray is well and still politically active.
@@supermonster4755 yep lol, that one lawyer who is a council member was FED UP with Lyman. Looks like an old THUG his demeanor that is, the council dude, and would NOT be surprised if HE called the two goons on Ray!
What boggles my mind about all this is that Ray hasn't made a RUclips channel yet where he basically vlogs everything on a monthly... no weekly... no daily... no HOURLY basis. He might actually get a rather decent number of followers.
Every city has a Ray Lyman and Eric Mays (from Flint, Michigan) in every city that gives city council hell. Crazy, nuts, or dedicated, I don’t know, but They bring the entertainment.
I'm not paying another dime in taxes until the Federal Attorney General does his job and sues the Scranton city Council for violating this man's rights, and I live in Canada!
At the end of the day...Ray is a pain ..I see that..but they also fear him..because he pays attention to things that other people are too busy to notice ...people in power don’t like it when others mess with their “party”
Other Citizens need to be a pain like Ray .. These morons go out and campaign for these Citizens votes rousing about changing the culture of the so call previous administration and they turn out to be even worse.
Im an OG Raymond Lyman fan from 2010 so i appreciate the compilation YEW FAKED WIT DEAT TREATS!!! "Giving him another million dollars is like giving a cocaine addict. I wouldnt trust Chris Doahrty with a 5 dollar bill."
He is an American hero. He's involved in his community; he actively and PEACEFULLY takes part in boring city council meetings with the mostly dickhead politicians Sure he's rough around the edges but I would vote for him, before most lying politicians. Our system is fucked; Ray Lyman is a grass-roots hero! I wouldn't vote for him.. but his heart is in the right place
He’s funny but let’s be serious: this guy is no better than any other moron that complains about things that he doesn’t understand even after it’s explained to him. He lies about things and tries to manipulates the council into doing his stupid bidding about getting his sidewalk paved so he can walk to his shitty diner every day in more comfort. He’s not the first or last. He’s one more moron that needs attention in life.
@@jeste4187 first guy starts his comment with “I would vote for him”, ends it with “I wouldn’t vote for him”; second wants someone in office that will lie right to your face ABOUT YOU. People like this are exactly why we get screwed every lection. No ruber.
This man is mad, nutty, crazy! Sometimes facts and truth can be minimized and even discredited all due to delivery! Few points maybe, overall overshadowed by madness! I had a good laugh!
Fell down the RUclips rabbit hole, landed here and never left.
Same 😂😂😂
@@rahspeedcannon ditto to me as well... 😁😁😁
yep, lol 24/7
Same. Lol
Y'all check out the South African parliament, and British parliament "eruptions".
Every city needs a Ray Lyman
@Sam more for entertainment but that’s another reason
@Sam I disagree. And it turns out that Ray wasn't so stupid, and was correct about a number of the empty suits that were sitting up there.

Good one, LOL. 👍🤣

"You tink Ima lire?"

Beautiful mind? This guy is a sniveling, manipulative liar. Beautiful mind my ass.
I love ray I think everyone even the Panel loves him secretly except for the woman who argues with him lol
One of the guys on the council who Ray was calling out just went to prison for fraud and corruption.
Cant get enough of this guy.
He's the greatest!
Yeah, ya gotta love the guy!
I miss Ray. Hope he's doing well.
A great American!
@@user-gi6ee8vj1y where is Ray now ?
this is a beautiful thing to watch after binging the Carpentersville, Illinois videos with President Sarto and Trustee Sigwalt
Yes, those brought me here! ha.
Ray should move to Carpentersville and speak at council. Lord that would be epic. Ray talking about binder-gate. Yes.
same. Im not sure which series is better
Paul Humpher was convicted of beating his wife with a baseball bat in front of the children.
Dont forget manager Anderson and trustee Humphers. And miss slowinsk
Raymond's microphone technique is second to none.
lol I'll give him that
LOL🤣🤣
That is a finesse that comes with hard work, dedication, and tenacity. Let this be a lesson for the rest of us. Ray Lyman for President 2k24
The force is strong in this guy.

@omcorc NO ONE this board was a good person they all got ousted and at least one of them ended in jail for misusing city funds.
This guy is a national treasure
I just found this on a whim and you are right he needs a statue lol " queen mother " 🤣 🤣 🤣
The absolute best, we all need to stand up to our politicians the way this guy does!

Well Joe Biden is from Scranton.

it's that season, time of year again, esp. too!
Same here! He is very motivational.
"I wanna see if him arrest me" "ridiculous"
I watch Ray’s complications at least once a year. #Legend
Me too lol!
The more complicated the better!
When Ray said "they have two guys in suits here now" I felt that!!!!!
They was really there to lol
@@supermonster4755 yep lol, that one lawyer who is a council member was FED UP with Lyman. Looks like an old THUG his demeanor that is, the council dude, and would NOT be surprised if HE called the two goons on Ray!
He should move to Carpentersville. Now I would PAY to watch that!!!!!
Hahaha that would be pure gold
Sarno vs Lyman
😅
Definately pay to watch that
First of all, I'm a big, fat guy. I enjoy watching Raymond's weight go up and down. It's the story of my life. : )
Hahahaha iii hhheeaarrdd that!
Lol you rule!!

I dont know what this guys has but he is soo entertaining. Like really ive seen this guy s videos like 20 times am i the only one????
He has a childlike innocence and bravery. It's endearing.
Just heard of him. I’ll get back to you. Cheers from Texas.
No, We love Ray
Sam you realize the councilman that he called out, was later sent to prison for corruption right?
@@bentraplay6754 Rayman knew more he had to know. He was before his time. God bless that American Patriot
Who’s the liar now Mrs Fanuchi?
How have I never found this guy before? This guy is an absolute legend.

Not if he’s out of order.
Never laughed so hard at this unintentional comic genius !!
THE PRIDE OF SCRANTON!! All the way ray!
I have not watched this in years. This is gold!!!
Yeah I have a couple questions
Ray: "I want heads to roll"
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Gotta love his dedication and care for his city. Protect him at all cost.
Absolutely!
He’s been arrested for witness intimidation and conspiracy to overthrow the government charges.
This is the best @ on youtube. This guy should have a street named after him something like Ridiculous Road.
Which "guy" are you referring to as ridiculous?
@@margecook9068 the city council obviously

Already 45 minutes in, not regretting it at all
