Australia's Deadliest Old-School Gangster
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 22 พ.ย. 2018
- For almost 30 years notorious gangster Graham 'Abo' Henry and his partner Neddy Smith ruled the mean streets of Sydney, Australia's crime capital, with iron fists. They went head-to-head with other gangs, crooked cops, unsuspecting civilians, and finally each other, all with the endorsement of Australia’s most infamous bent cop, Roger Rogerson. With violence, bloodshed and fear as his tools of trade, Abo Henry carved a swathe through the criminal underworld, raking in millions, and living by his own code of honor; one of looking after your mates, and never, ever rolling on them. His criminal career came to an end on what is known as Sydney’s deadliest pub crawl, which culminated in Henry stabbing police prosecutor Mal Spence in the stomach and the neck.

this fucking guy has a real fucking way with fucking words, it's actually fucking amazing
no fucking doubt
Fuckin oath he fuckin does
Fuck yeah fucken oath
Fukn fuck yeah
Great fakkin doco
This man said the word "fuck" more times in 13 minutes and 28 seconds than the movie scarface in its entirety. Bravo sir. Bravo
Welcome to Australia
Whatever non-Australian
@@Holmesy89 I'm actually surprised that he hasn't said "cunt" even once.
Straya the home of fuks and cunts get that up ya
Normally means telling lies
12:52 seeing him stand there like that is so crazy because he just looks like a regular old man that you wouldn't even think twice about if you seen them at the pub, makes you wonder about all the other people you walk past day to day and what their life has been like
that's why you don't fuc with people you don't know
every old fucker with a tattoo HAS DONE SOME SHIT IN THE PAST LOL
prison times should be longer
I walk past them every day. Some of.them are my friends.
@@vladislavmlynski9695 righto hero
Do not disrespect your elders. You never know what is lurking within the grey haired old timer sitting alone in the pub.
Never mess with a lone old timer at the pub, especially is Aus 😂
It's hilarious when Australians think they are tough... go live on a farm in South Africa then we will see how tough you are mate.🤣🤣🤣🤣
Always respect the old timers
Fear the old man who survived in business where men die young.
Yeah, dementia
Its strange to hear the backstory of this man. Abused as a child, he was probably mentally disturbed from a young age, learned that violence was the answer from his father & spiralled from there. With the right support he'd have lived an entirely different life.
Really not dissimilar to chopper Reid, Marvin Herbert and more than a few other violent criminals. I'll say pursuing violence amongst other criminals is better than, say, robbing civilians, but the childhood trauma is also a common factor in serial killers too.
@@RJ-wx3fh a harsh reality, we all made those monster what they are by looking away and not protecting them when they were children… the number of serial killer with the exact same pattern of abuse and how it shows up in their murders is terrifying, way more than dismissing them as monsters. Same with most criminals, just like this guy…
All modes of good and evil are potentially contagious.
A lot of the most violent ones were sexually abused as children.
Who cares
You know he's an Australian gangster when he swears a lot. Lol
Everyone in Australia swears a lot
You know he's Australian if he swears a lot
How fuckin many fuckins did ya fuckin count ay?
"Lol"
🤦🏻♂️
American moment
Definitely the most gansta grandad wearing a fanny pack I've ever seen!
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.
We drugs in our packs
@@PhilMiCoochie abo has an extra half a dozen ‘fuckins’ in his bum bag 👍😂🇦🇺🍻
dont disrespect the fanny they come in hand a lot
usually young kids wear fanny packs to keeps their "tools" in

@ONLEEF4$ your mother
Imagine being neighbours with this old guy. You think he’s some diaper wearing geezer so you tell him to stop flicking cigarette butts into your lawn…
haha
Imagine being this guy and maybe he smoked a favorite uncle back in the day . Some shit never rests until it's put to bed.
And it would be at that moment you'd realise u've fucked up
100
Don't give a fuck who he is or was, if he's disrespecting me or my property I'd tell him to stop, just as I wouldn't disrespect him or his property.
The most disturbing thing about this whole documentary, is that this guy is not still in prison
That's worse than the police force profiting and allowing this? Those cops PUT heroin and murder on the streets.
I'd rather take my chances with guys like this that at least stick to their code. Even if it's fucked (not that all criminals stick to a code, some are junkies)
@@FardtilUshid even their code is bullshit,according to them a nonce has to be killed but a murderer nah he's one of the boys
fucking crazy
@@benpaterson377 he should be rotting in jail forever
He killed 5 in jail.🚬😎
Someone counts how many f words he said?
999
i would probably get killed trying to interview him. Cause i'd laugh my ass off at how many times he said "fucken" ahahah.
i counted. 66.
25
😂 true
Hide your grannies boys...

still siring fighting sons 👊🏼
How can a person get older and still act more of a tool he was years ago
It’s more common then you think…
Thats all he knows my bro😂💯
And he'd still slap you silly you beta male
Older you get, the better you were
Older you get, more brain cells die
Great interview, nice Mayhem shirt too 🤘
The amount of times he said fucking🤣🤣
03:44 The look he gets while recalling the memories. he's serious
You can sense the aggression even though he doesn't care.
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.
The guy is a sociopath, and he should have served longer.

"Like a gaint fucking octopus mate, you know" hahaha awesome!

They make out like Henry was the only one stepping out. Good old Neddy got done for murder after him and his mate stopped on a bridge, got honked from the car behind, then Neddy got out and stabbed the passenger to death while his mate fought with the driver.
Got older but the old lad still having hunger for more violence by the way that he expresses himself.
Dude is crazy confident.
Never judge a book by it cover , or a person by the way they look...
"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.
if this life of crime is the best possible game then im not sure what to say. there are people that have gone through worse and not ended up like him.
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.
Those old boys really were a differnt breed, one of the last of his kind
Vice always got em fire interviews
There are people who behave and act like animals, they don't understand words, they understand swords
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.
Lol what a load of bs
@@gregbishop610 nah he's right, violence is the only way to get out of certain situations.
@@gregbishop610 has never been in an altercation with a scumbag obviously or seen an innocent person be set upon randomly. Or else he'd understand that at times violence is part of life and is 100% necessary. Don't let it be bred out of you Greg. That makes you prey for people.

Good documentary, much interest in gangster life in the UK and Down Under where it's knives verses guns here in the states.
Don't know how you can live that life once you have kids. Surely at that point there's just too much to lose.
That’s enough fucking internet for me today 😂
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..
He's a scumbag who would think nothing of sticking a knife in you, or a member of your family - think about THAT...
psychopaths, just like other notorious aussie criminals
Ok
Absolutely! There's alot of people 'respecting' this guy in the comments
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.
I understand everything he meant about his childhood. (2)
really felt that . ..
He said ''fvcking'' in thie video way more times than I ever did in my life. Fvcking legend.
At his age you would think he would of grown up a bit with the way he acts.
Perfect example of « the clothes do not make the man ».
Great video! This was one of the most interesting I’ve seen. I understand where he’s coming from.
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 😆🤣
I'm surprised the cops aren't visiting this guy every week over cold cases.
Probably cause they're still corrupted, but who knows?
If he had the cops on his books they wouldve removed evidence
@@BillyTAS Fair point mate
He has immunity
I'm sure there are plenty of cops, past and present, who would rather some of those murders remain unsolved.
That is one scary dude.
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.
please make camera shakier - too stable
Thanks for sharing 👍
Growing up in areas where violence is normality you are humbled and understand respect
getting kidnapped or beaten up for doing something some random dude didn't like has nothing to do with respect. It's the oppsite actually
Good old Waterloo area
Only 6 years for stabbing prosecutor! Damn
Is that my Australian dad?? Jeebus he sounds like a tame version of my dad

Good on you Abo , a interesting story mate.
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. Typically the guys who "Looked" most aggressive and dangerous were surprisingly mostly locked up on smaller petty crimes. It was the dudes you would least expect that were the most dangerous. Seeing this first hand I learned alot about the "dark streets" side of the world. The hidden violent world tucked under the bed of most peoples lifes.
,,Normal Looking , Like Chopper Read You mean ?? as excample . . lol
100% spot on
These normal looking, dangerous criminals might have looked normal and ordinary, but once you spoke to them and listened to what they had to say they must have suddenly seemed very scary.

Takes a lot more "balls" to restrain yourself from hurting someone.
It takes no balls, a coward holds back. Resisting the urge to go over the top can require discipline, but you've still got to be willing and brave enough to hurt someone sufficiently when required.

@@liam3104 History is written in blood, not ink. I'm not going to jump to conclusions but it sounds like you don't know all that much about violence. It's better that the public has a monopoly on violence and not the evil bastards who desire to destroy others. It takes guts to go up to a sentient, awake and fully grown adult man and physically hurt them. Hurting an unconscious or sleeping person is cowardly, however, although I wouldn't hesitate if it was a child abuser or a corrupt individual who has destroyed others lives and brought extreme harm to the innocent.

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.
