Louis Theroux is amazing. Just so many brilliant episodes - but the one that will always stick in my mind is when he visits "the most hated family in America." Some of their protest signs were so cruel, yet so completely hilarious. And they would even fly across America to turn up at a FUNERAL to protest :lol:

Ah yeah that when they picket at dead soldier's funerals isn't it, what a collection of actual cunts :freak:

Am I right in remembering that they're by the roadside and some top, top player drives past lobbing a drink/piss at their young son and they get offended by it? aahahaha amazing scenes.

One where he's in Vegas as well and that old bastard woman who's spent something silly like 4 million dollars on the slot machines :lol:

Yeah that was the only good bit.

I found the rest of his questioning incredibly repetitive. His naive questioning tactics are good when he's investigating a subject that hasn't been covered much in the media, but for a subject like this which has received extensive coverage already it was a bit boring.

Nobody has said it was a masterpiece.

This is getting ridiculous.

Hulkamaniac

It just seems like its getting entirely predictable that someone will say "That was good" and its inevitable that you'll come in with a contrary opinion, to everything, ever, always.

Ringo said it was brilliant. Kris didn't reveal his thoughts either way.

I didn't realise that made up the popular opinion these days.

He did that maybe twice in five seasons.

Great telly last night with King Louis. Philly's 'fairly close' to Baltimore anyway so it was basically The Wire and I thoroughly enjoyed it.

It was so bleak though yeah, absolutely unbelievable misery and proper depressing. The cop that knew the local drug lord, Hunter, was immense. I'd like to see Pat and Carl off Road Wars busting some kids in a real rundown shithole :lol:

Some of the areas that Theroux went through during that show actually seemed to resemble a lot of the areas I saw when I got lost in Philly. I don't think I've ever been so scared in my life.

Haha, well I ended up wearing the same pair for three days due to my luggage getting put on the flight I never boarded, and had pulled the night previous, so they where about as brown as brown can get, while being rather pastey thanks to the previous night.

I'd come from Orlando to Philly and missed my connecting flight, had no luggage, and was walking the streets in temperatures bellow 10 in shorts and t-shirt. I don't think I've ever stood out so much in my life.

Nearly all of them were very un-nerving except maybe the community police guys who seemed decent enough.

I cant believe the next two world cups are in South Africa and Brazil. Everyone is going to die.

Kris
December 10th, 2008, 6:58 AM
It was the bit where the guy basically shrugged and said that they'd burnt two people to death. CHILLING.

The bit where the bloke kicked the guy in the head was pretty unnecessary too.

Quite funny when the two BAD BOYZ sprayed each other with pepper spray though. LOL.

son_of_foley
December 10th, 2008, 7:03 AM
That whole bit was rotten. They knocked the shit out of them and they all thought they were so hard.

Also the smirking when they were denying killing someone who had shot a bad boy.

There's a lot of dickheads out there living above the law and clattering poor people when they see fit.

Wild wild west.

South Africa isn't that bad, my mate goes to Joburg a lot and my old manager lived there for a bit and said it was fine.

I watched "The Most Hated Family in America" last night. It's so weird that people actually believe in that kind of shit. You can tell they are just angry human beings who are outcasts and think that they are the chosen ones by god. Like deep down even if I believed that God hates soldiers, I'm sure I would still feel sorry for the family for losing a loved one and feel a bit guilty for picketing a funeral. The whole grooming of the children was sick aswell, little kids holding signs reading "Fag Soldiers" and not know why or what they were doing.

Had to laugh when the head honcho shouted "You're gonna eat your babies."

You've got to love Louis Theroux, his documentaries are the shit.

I always wonder about that woman he spoke to, the younger one, who you could tell wasn't happy with her life by the fact she'd get teary-eyed every time Louis questioned her about the church. She must have "broke free" by now, surely? She was an emotional bag of nerves around Louis.

I watched it the first time it was shown, but watched it again last night due to my :heart: of Louis and the fact I hadn't seen it in a while. It was still interesting and fascinating, even on a second watch.

And yeah, that baby in the oven guy was fucking insane. The entire place is, judging by what was shown. The fact that everyone thinks they can take the law into their own hands and just burn people for any wrongdoing is unbelievable.

son_of_foley
December 19th, 2008, 5:50 AM
They did another documentary about that family but with Keith Allen or whatever you call that massive idiot. He shouted at them and got kicked out of their house pretty quickly were as Louis gave them just enough rope to look moronic

You clearly don't Kris. I suggest you actually go and spend time in a place like Joburg and I guarantee your opinion will change.

You haven't a clue what its like. I lived in an absolute shithole for 20 years (nothing like as bad as Joburg) and I would've loved to have a group like the Bad Boyz around to take out the cunts. I can only imagine how they feel out there.

Yeah mate but whilst the concept of the bay boyz is a good one it's clear that some of them enjoy knocking the shit out of people themselves. I don't know why you feel the need to act the big lad about it. There's a lot of dickheads in belfast mate but you'ld have to be an absolute moron to not understand that vigilanteeism can go sour.

December 19th, 2008, 8:08 AM
I read back through what I had said and I believe it was simply

Apart from the community officers in the shanty town most of the other guys seemed very out for what they could get. The bad boys admitted to helping the drug dealer out with his problems in the hope that he wouldnt be replaced by someone who was more aggressive. You didnt find their support for specific drug dealers to be a bit un-nerving? You didn't find the various hints from Theroux that they took the law into their own hands even when their personal safety or the property they were protecting wasnt in danger slightly concerning?

Maybe you find it hard to follow points. I understand there is a lawlessness about the town and that it's dangerous I understand why people feel the need for vigilantees but I'm not simple enough to think they are actually a solution to the problem.

The whole documentary was essentially about the corruption these services get especially centering around William and how he battered somebody for no good and in the end was causing more trouble.

So why are you commenting on it. You don't understand the situation because you know people who are there. We have vigilantees in belfast you massive mong.

You did act the big lad. I believe you stated about how you'ld have no problem killing someone when it wasnt even the issue being discussed.

Kris
December 19th, 2008, 8:12 AM
It is possible that I understand it, but find it unsettling as it is not a situation that I have experienced, nor am I comfortable with it.

Similarly, I can understand some of the things that happen during wars, but it doesn't mean that I have to be comfortable with it, or even necessarily accepting of it.

son_of_foley
December 19th, 2008, 8:12 AM
They are not decent people who are doing it for the community those were the lads in the shanty town. The bad boyz are clearly people who are in it for the money and are not above taking matters into their own hands. Seriously you're a child. This isn't an action film you know.

Why would decent people promote and help a drug dealer?

Kris
December 19th, 2008, 8:13 AM
BECAUSE THAT'S HOW IT IS ON THE STREETS. YOU DON'T UNDERSTAND. YOU ARE NOT FROM HAYES.

son_of_foley
December 19th, 2008, 8:18 AM
No, I'm not getting into name-calling as it's an easy way out for him. I would like him to explain how I have a childish view on the world when Im saying vigilanteeism isnt a solution because it get's easily corrupted.

I didn't state that they havent provided some good but the narrative of the film was suggesting that they were becoming looser with their morals and I found it a bit unnerving knowing the direction it could soon be heading in. In that they could be taking a cut from the drug dealer and further protecting him.

This somehow makes me a pussy.

Kris
December 19th, 2008, 8:20 AM
Well, the fact that I don't like seeing people being violent towards other people means I don't live in the real world - despite the fact I am aware it happens, I simply don't really like it - particularly when it is people in a position of 'authority'.

You didnt find their support for specific drug dealers to be a bit un-nerving? You didn't find the various hints from Theroux that they took the law into their own hands even when their personal safety or the property they were protecting wasnt in danger slightly concerning?

See this is what I'm talking about when I say you don't really understand the situation. Its not unnerving at all. It makes perfect sense to keep on good terms with the kingpin, if they were at war how many more people would lose their lives? Plus, if war did occur and they won, the next guy who comes along would inevitably be worse. He'd have to be because he knows if he simply replicates his predecessor then he'd also lose the battle. Better the devil you know etc.

As for them taking the law into their own hands, I saw no evidence of them doing anything illegal. They stepped in where a man had been knocked unconscious and only after giving several warnings to leave the scene did they get physical with the people who had committed the assault. As for Louis, I ignored him because I don't think he really understood what living there was like. He showed on numerous occasions a complete lack of understanding.

We can't say whether William was corrupt because we never found out whether the people he was beating were guilty of anything. You're blindly following Louis' pathetic attempts at portraying him as a corrupt vigilante.

Well wasn't it alleged that the bloke did something wrong, rather than him actually being proven to have done something wrong.

And what I was referring to was the fact you said I was acting the big lad because I said I grew up in a shithole. If you genuinely believe that I'm trying to impress anyone on here then I can only assume it is because you yourself do so. That, in my opinion, is incredibly immature.

FYI one of the more commonly used definition of THE WEST was nations allied with NATO/The United States during the Cold War.

Which put South Africa into the West. There is a modern definition of The West that places South Africa in it. You have failed again Jamie with your minimal understanding of anything.

You need to grow up, the fact you still see the world in the same way a teenager does is pitiful.

It's a bit confusing following your contradictory posts.

William said the guy was guilty of a crime which the community say he wasn't. He beat the man violently which he was warned not to do by the police. That's practically the textbook definition of taking the law into your own hands.

The bad boys also smirked when asked if they had killed someone who they thought had shot a member of their team. Not during the encounter which could of course be argued as self-defense but after the event. That's taking law into their own hands.

You state that none of us know what its like to live there and neither do you. There's shit areas everywhere but they aren't the same. There is ripe vigilanteeism in Belfast, well at least there was.

Getting in with the kingpin is not the correct thing to do in the situation. It's not a computer game mate. It might be the correct move if you are seeing it as a purely business interest but the fact is he is still selling drugs to people. It will come to a point where they are protecting his interests and profitting from it and will they just cut those ties in the future or will they sponsor him elsewhere after displacing another drug dealer they don't like?

You talk about how many extra lives will be lost if someone else comes in? You tell me, the main source of these lost lifes will be rival drug dealers or these vigilantees.

I also see you've failed to counter the fact that I've said I see the need for extra security but cannot see past these organisations who are happy to use violence so freely becoming anything other than bloated and aggressive.

It's a bit confusing following your contradictory posts.

William said the guy was guilty of a crime which the community say he wasn't. He beat the man violently which he was warned not to do by the police. That's practically the textbook definition of taking the law into your own hands.

Actually the community didn't know if he was guilty or not. The woman Louis interviewed said something along the lines of "if he did commit a crime he should stand before us and explain why he did it".


The bad boys also smirked when asked if they had killed someone who they thought had shot a member of their team. Not during the encounter which could of course be argued as self-defense but after the event. That's taking law into their own hands.

They smirked at the thought of their friends killer dying?!?!?! MONSTERS. Whether they did it or not is pure speculation so lets not get into that.


You state that none of us know what its like to live there and neither do you. There's shit areas everywhere but they aren't the same. There is ripe vigilanteeism in Belfast, well at least there was.

Getting in with the kingpin is not the correct thing to do in the situation. It's not a computer game mate.

So what is the best move then? You all seem to know what not to do but unless you provide some sort of alternative your criticisms are pointless. I wasn't even saying its the right thing to do, I'm saying its the best thing to do given the circumstances.


You talk about how many extra lives will be lost if someone else comes in? You tell me, the main source of these lost lifes will be rival drug dealers or these vigilantees.

I said extra lives would be lost if there was a turf war between the Bad Boyz and the drug lord. Please read my posts properly.

Also, you are again speculating. There was no example of excessive force being used by the Bad Boyz. The one time they got physical was when they were trying to keep a group of people away from an UNCONSCIOUS MAN. Again, what monsters.

Here's a snippet of what happened down the street I grew up in (all true):

Numerous cases of arson
Numerous police raids (day/night)
Stabbings
Armed robberies
Muggings
Beatings
Drugs
Theft

It's nothing like as bad as Joburg but its a hell of a lot worse than what any of you grew up with.

Actually the community didn't know if he was guilty or not. The woman Louis interviewed said something along the lines of "if he did commit a crime he should stand before us and explain why he did it".


The community certainly thought that William had been heavy handed with his response. Something that he had been warned not to do by the police. He was committing a crime himself. He took the law into his own hands in a situation where it certainly seemed over the top. Many people believed that hence why they were going to burn him to death.



They smirked at the thought of their friends killer dying?!?!?! MONSTERS. Whether they did it or not is pure speculation so lets not get into that.


They smirked when they were asked if they had sorted the person responsible out. Louis asked them if they had shot him basically and they smirked and said no they wouldnt say. They shot someone and yet I'm a pussy for finding that un-nerving because it's a sign that they are starting to see themselves as above the law. That and making deals with drug dealers are signs



So what is the best move then? You all seem to know what not to do but unless you provide some sort of alternative your criticisms are pointless. I wasn't even saying its the right thing to do, I'm saying its the best thing to do given the circumstances.


To start off with they said we leave him alone and he leaves us alone. Thats the best of ultimately crap choices. I understand they cant just get him arrested or whatever I'm not an idiot. I understand they can't kill him either as that would be a gross incident of being above the law. When they said that I understood the reasoning.

It then turned out later they 'helped him solve problems'. They have their reasons for it but believing them to be pure is highly naive on your behalf. I think if they have a business relationship with him that's a step too far





I said extra lives would be lost if there was a turf war between the Bad Boyz and the drug lord. Please read my posts properly.


Again I said what lives will be lost. Is it those or rival drug dealers and vigilantees? This is a cost of being a vigilantee. Are you wanting them to just control 'nice' criminals?



Also, you are again speculating. There was no example of excessive force being used by the Bad Boyz. The one time they got physical was when they were trying to keep a group of people away from an UNCONSCIOUS MAN. Again, what monsters.


Again you're being highly naive and speculating yourselves. I've repeatidly said I understand the role they play and why it can be beneficial to the local people who are struggling there. If you feel it is the answer then I think you're looking at things far too simply.

My points which caused you to call me a pussy where as follows

1) I found the vigilantees to be un-nerving as to me there was signs that they were taking the law too far into their own hands. Beating a man for damaging a fence so much so that they thought he was going to lose the use of his legs is excessive and doesn't help the community.

Alluding to shooting a man after the event, even in the extreme circumstances listed is worrying. They didn't deny it outright and instead laughed about it which made it feel as if they took the situation lightly. Please don't try and twist those words now.

2) I said it was a stupid decision to hold a world cup there due to the massive levels of street crime.




Whats hilarious is the fact you genuinely cant tell the difference between fact and joke.

Living in a rough area doesn't mean you're speculating any less than any of us. I know rough areas I don't think that makes me any more experienced to talk about the situation than anyone else. There are vigilantee groups in belfast who funnily enough also have sponsored drug dealers so thats why I found the situations un-nerving as it seems remarakably similar in scope.

You've gone off on a mad rant calling me a pussy and having a naive view of the world without having any clue about my life experience or for that matter even understanding the original point being made.

I genuinely think you might need to gain some perspective if peoples opinions on a message board make you angry. I've made it very clear why I felt how I did and you're looking increasingly silly now because you cannot argue the 2 points I have made.

You've said there's no evidence I never claimed there was I simply said that the inferrences (perhaps a foreign concept to you) that could be made from the programme made me feel uncomfortable about the future roles those guys could have in the city

That whole bit was rotten. They knocked the shit out of them and they all thought they were so hard.



At the time of watching it I was a bit confused about the guy they beat up after macing each other. He seemed to be on the peripheral of the event watching and then when they had been maced they hit him. Maybe it was him that had left the guy in the pool of blood maybe it was someone else. From what I can remember it wasn't confirmed that he had done it. I think some people claimed the guy who was attacked had been throwing stuff at them but again I don't think that was the person who they ended up beating up.

You've said there is nothing un-nerving about it. I've explained why. You've then told me I don't understand the situation despite not knowing what area I grew up in or knowing where my family is from. It's you who made the assumptions here.

Growing up in a shit area like you say you have DOES NOT QUALIFY YOU TO DISCUSS THE CORRUPTION OF POWER OF VIGILANTEE GROUPS. It might qualify you to discuss the need or want for the groups but not about the element which I have orignally said I found un-nerving.
Something which you can't argue against.

You claim to understand the situation better than anyone else but you seem blatantly ignorant to the fact that those crimes you have listed happen in most major cities. I've been an actual victim of a few of them myself not just having them happen down the road.

I know I brought it up you idiot to explain why I found it un-nerving. You've said I don't understand the situation I've said I do because of the groups locally.

This is the crux of the argument. I found it un-nerving as they are showing signs of become corrupt with power. You have said there is nothing un-nerving about the situation due to the benefits they can bring the community.

How is that not arguing about corruption? Thats the part I find un-nerving and you're claiming I don't understand the situation. Again you can't answer it so you've said I brought it up I know I did it was my original point. Perhaps it is you who should read a bit closer.

It was fairly interesting to see how the place was run, and a few of the people he spoke to were interesting, to say the least, but not a whole lot happened. I felt the documentary only skimmed the surface of it all and Louis could have gone in a bit deeper and asked better questions of people.

I mean, for example, Louis repeatedly alluded to the fact that the facility was basically there to keep those people away from society, yet Louis didn't try talking to any of the big bosses to try and get deeper into that issue. All he did, really, was talk to a load of paedo's and got them to admit what they'd done on camera.

The 11 year old girl was full of bullshit, also. As for her older brother who had developed chronic "voice ticks" he seemed perfectly fine upon being interviewed, I did not see him clear his throat once. I was thinking to myself if the mother has actually tried some sort of placebo, pills with nothing in them as I got the distinct impression she has simply got in to the routine of taking a set amount of pills during the course of the day, maybe influenced by the attention she seen her older brother getting during his ADHD days.

Incredible stuff. They seem to occupy some weird middle ground between vindictive and manipulative intelligence, and outright insanity. Any time Theroux stumps them they fall back onto stock lines from the Bible.

What's sad is that most of them (mainly the youngsters) seem like decent people, just with a completely skewed view of what makes a person evil. The kid spouting such utter hate about fags, then getting embarrassed at accidentally offending Louis by telling him to shut up was heartbreaking...a good kid who has just been completely taken over and adulterated. Horrible.

It was really sad to see him breathlessly parrot that whole spiel as if it had been preprogrammed into him. In fact, I'm certain it had been. I find it hard to believe that he was sincere about a word of it, or even understood most of it. Theroux's response was fantastic, since it immediately broke the train of thought and forced the boy to basically break character, and we found he was actually a bit embarrassed about being impolite.

The guy whose daughter left may well be a sociopath, he just seemed so indifferent to losing a member of his family as though he accepted it as a price to pay to maintain his position of power. I think her analysis of him was spot on - he's found his niche and he's comfortable there, so fuck everyone else. I get that impression with a lot of the Phelps adults. They seem to be professional trolls.

The weirdest bit was the clearly gay Asian guy who turns up at their church! That guy has some serious issues.

These guys are scary. As has been said, they seem bright. That's what is so terrifying. But there is hope, people have got out.

The_Mike
April 4th, 2011, 8:02 AM
People have got out, to the point the family has started reigning in their control of the younger people even more. At one point they said they accepted they will likely never meet anyone, get married and have children. Hopefully this means the church will eventually go extinct, though not if gay people warped by their own churches keep turning up looking to join in order to fix themselves. The WBC might be accepted as crazy extremists by pretty much everyone, but their message is no different from the mainstream of the Abrahamic faiths.

It was quite good, I think a fair bit more depressing then his prior one as I recall. The women who hires porn stars and said she wouldn't like her daughter to do it because it fucks you up was fairly insightful and prehaps a bit hypocritical. Louis Theroux recently wrote quite a critical article on the industry.

That woman in the office was rather baffling. I almost got the impression she was just playing it up for the camera. Moaning about 'whores' while working in the office of a porn studio, really?

SLARE's right about Rob Black. Was he on coke or something? No wonder ROH ran like hell from him.

Maybe older, It just always stuck with me as wrestling fan, he basically asked if wrestling was fake and the guy got pissed and made him train till he puked... I really hope it was a Louis doc now and I'm not misremembering shit.

As for recent, I did watch the Milwaukee one last week, Yet to watch the other two though.
