I can see where you're coming from in a way. Being sly can make some guys look more intimidating. But don't ever for a minute think it makes them invincible or a total bad a$$. I've watched that show before too. On one episode some guy had his car repossessed by this "bad a$$" pulled a gun on him. He was crapping his pants.
Being a repo man is dangerous! People get very upset when you take their cars. Thats why this guy on the show "Operation Repo" uses his slyness to intimidate people. They are too afraid to get in this guy's face!
