Your Favorite Real Life Gangster (Living or Dead)

would Robin Hood be seen as the acceptable face of armed robbery?

he's sort of the opposite of George Osborne other than they are both attracted to men in tights

can't think of any tbh, there is a sort of grim fascination with stories like Bonnie and Clyde but I think I'm as drawn to the myth building as the actual characters, at the end of the day, there aren't many crims that don't harm ordinary nice folk

The Whiskey robber from Hungary ?

Even left flowers in a lot of instances for the bank teller he robbed and then donated his ill gotten gains to the local office license and casino :-)

Billy the Kid, for some reason. Probably because of the gloryfying myths.

I was thinking about old west guys, being a fan of that era. But William Bonney/McCarty was no less a **** up psychopath than the modern shitheads mentioned in this thread.

But there is a serious case for Butch and Sundance. The film was surprisingly close to the true story.

Probably true that, Mike. But the old wild west bandits are the only criminals that I've come to like. Like Bonney, the Dalton brothers, James, Doc Holiday, etc. And as said, probably because of the gloryfying half myths spread by Hollywood and others.

Yeah, same here, I'm a huge western fan. But Jesse James was real nasty piece of work in real life, Holliday and the Earps were corrupt as ****, etc.

I once started an Irn-Bru bar racket at school. I would swing by a newsagent on the way in, buy 12 Irn-Bru bars at 10p a pop with my lunch money then sell them on the playgrounds to the popular kids for as much as 50p a bar. This got me immunity from nuggies and the like, and I eventually saved up the money to buy Colony Wars on the Playstation. Got into a fight with my friend too, because he started trying to do the same thing but nobody muscles in on "Chew-Bar" Robert's business.

So, I suppose my favourite gangster is me. mafioso.gif
