Villainous Names

ejmaztec

It seems to me that people with strange names are always villains. Are they born with these names, or do they adopt them when they get the urge to pick up a gun?

Like this guy "Tharin Gartrell", arrested with others, who were apparently on a mission to assassinate Obama.

He even looks like some meat-head character from a video shoot-em-up.

Society judges you by your ugly moniker and the bitterness drives you to commit desperate crimes out of spite.

Police have told the television station that one of the suspects "was directly asked if they had come to Denver to kill Obama. He responded in the affirmative."

Haha...

Reason for visiting Denver:

• Business
• Pleasure
• Assassinate Obama X

Yes, I can see the feds fitting ankle-tags at the christening, then following their lives - waiting for the day that a SWAT team has to be called out. :eek:

He's right you know. Look at this fella getting into fights over his name.

I suppose that because they're villains they tend to assume an international noteriety, and names that are foreign to people in this country seem out of the ordinary, like Tharin Gartrell, Usama bin Laden, Marcel Petiot etc.

These names may seem unusual to us but if they were just regular local immigrants in your community you probably wouldnt think anything of it.

Barack Obama doesn't sound all that great either now, does it?

I think it's more the name becomes synonymous with the crime after the event. Like I could tell people I'm going to meet Ian Brady and Peter Sutcliffe for a pint after work and it would raise no suspicions about their character.

Still going drinking with Charles Starkweather or Thug Behram might.

I heard a piece on the radio about the popularity of certain names after big events. The name Myra took a serious tumble after the Moors murders for instance.

Names like Ian and Peter are strong/popular enough to survive a few serial killers though.

I'd watch my back with this pair if I were you. :eek:
