And it also involves a lot of discussion about like mental health, mental illness, like the system around it at the time and especially in the area. Yeah. So let's talk about Peter Bryan when he was younger. So Peter Bryan was born in London, England on October 4th, 1969. Scorpio. A Scorpio. He was the youngest of seven children. Damn.

To parents who had moved to the UK from Barbados in the late 1950s. Many years later, after his arrest, Bryan recalled his early life as, you know, one that was not very smooth. It was a lot of disruption, a lot of difficulty. I mean, seven kids and like moving to like a completely new place.

Yeah, they lived and knew him. But starting when Peter was four or five years old, both of his parents were working full-time jobs. And the three youngest children, which included Peter, were often left in the care of just like a rotating group of like babysitters, you know, anyone they could get to just watch these kids. Yeah, childcare is fucking hard.

During this time, the children were often left at home alone for like long periods of time. That can be tough.

Now in 1974, Peter started attending primary school. He doesn't have great memories of this time of his life. According to Peter, quote, he had a few friends and was unhappy during this time, primarily on account of his sense of shame and embarrassment and needing extra reading lessons. That can be tough when you're having to be pulled away to do something extra. I understand that.

It's an automatic like why am I different from them. Yes. It like just makes them question it immediately. But again, there's no real – I don't have another solution. So it's like that if it works, it works.

Socially, it sucks that like we haven't evolved past the point where people are like, you're different. Yeah, like you feel shame. Yeah, like we need to get better. But his feelings of shame led Peter to seek out and bully those that he kind of perceived to be physically weaker than himself because he was feeling weaker in certain areas. So he had to kind of... Make up for that. Yeah, exactly.

Overcompensate. So he would force them, apparently, to give him, like, treats and, like, candy. He's a bridge troll. Yeah, and he would also make them tie his shoelaces. What the fuck? So it was very weirdly, like, authoritative of him. Yeah. And, like, strange. Tie my shoe. Yeah, this is when he's, like, you know, seven, eight years old. Like, he's just forcing kids to tie his shoes.

Oh, honey, the day my kid comes home and is like, some bully made me tie their shoe. Oh. Shoo right up your butt, honey. Baby, you better believe. Shoo in your face. That would be a problem. Now, by the time he was 10 or 11 years old, the bullying that he was committing had escalated to physical aggression towards his classmates.

So before it was like, just give me your treats, give me your sweets, tie my shoelaces. But then it started turning into like, I'm actually hurting people. Yeah. Give me your treats, give me your sweets, tie my shoelaces.

Stoop kid. Stoop kid's gotta leave the stoop. But now that's all like funny to watch from, you know, the total outside perspective. But then it started escalating and actually hurting his classmates. I hate that. And it got even worse. And this is where it starts to get dark. Like we can laugh about like. Give me your treats. Give me your sweets. I will always laugh at that. It gets dark. Okay.
