This was my first attempt at doing a poll? I'm curious to see who the forum selects as the (3) worst offenders?

Thugs are thugs. The difference between them thugs and the other thugs not mentioned in the poll was a uniform. The next depression is already under way. This time it will most likely be even more violent. Bonnie and Clyde were penny ante crooks but they had some serious nerve. The way the cops finally took em out was pretty cowardly.

Bonnie and Clyde for mayhem were bad. I read a account of her less than 4'10' under 100 lbs running across a road with one of Clyde chopped BAR laying down accurate fire. Clyde was also expert with the BAR.
Baby Face Nelson was just nuts.
Yep thugs are thugs. Now that we are entering the next depression I wondering what kind of can or snakes we are going to be dealing with.

Pierpoint was a TRAINER and ORGANIZER of thugs - a thug force-mulitplier, if you will. That made him more dangerous/worse, I believe. And Bonnie & Clyde were pervs, back when that was the exception, rather than the rule. rolleyes.gif

All these Moors are card-carrying Moors."

Actually, George Kelly's reputation was actually hyped-up by his wife Kathryn, and the FBI. Consider him added to the poll.
