He’s up for parole next week.

I was previously of the opinion that he should be released, he’s been locked up for over 40 years, he’s never killed anyone and he’s nearly 70 … he’s also not “misbehaved” in years.

However, after watching the documentary that came out on Monday, I’m not sure anymore! He shows no remorse at all for what he’s done in the past and outright admits that if people wind him up, he’ll snap.

He recounts his past violence like he’s recalling good memories.

Plus, he’s been in isolation for years, so of course his “incidents” will be far and few between as he has nobody to kick off with.

Basically, I wouldn’t want to live next door to him! Imagine if you fall out over parking or he takes exception to your barking dog etc?

I also don’t believe that George character is really his son. I believe the pair of them decided to make up this story to help keep him in the public eye. George admits that they both make up stories for a laugh and he can get him in the tabloids at the drop of a hat.

YABU - he’s done his time, let him out
YANBU - I wouldn’t want him as my neighbour either, keep him in.

Oh wow, what a story. Did you believe the stuff about George's childhood?

I wouldn’t really like to say … I’d hope someone wouldn’t make anything like that up but who knows, he’s admitted making stories up for years to get in the press. I take anything either of them say with a pinch of salt although I do feel Bronson himself comes across as being a lot more honest and genuine than Bamby. Bamby is just an outright con artist.

Zero remorse, he’s still getting kicks from his previous violence.

All these people saying free him, hope he can live next to you. He’s a vile, vile man.

He's nearly 70 and has been locked up since he was 22. I do not see the point of releasing him.
