Hope all is well…would love to have another night/weekend soon. Regards to all families and friends! ❤️❤️❤️

Jack the Ripper, don't know why, but when I hear the likes of "notorious criminals", always first to pop into my head, followed by Pablo Escobar and Jeffrey Dahmer.

Or to stay closer to home - the Black Widow, or Geoffrey Evans and John Shaw.

Barabbas.

The successful popular campaign to release this convicted criminal, who is described in Matthew 27:16 as a “notorious prisoner”, had a significant impact on the course of Western and indeed world history.

Gary Leon Ridgway, also known as the Green River Killer, is an American serial killer. He was initially convicted of 48 separate murders.

Dennis Lynn Rader is an American serial killer known as BTK, the BTK Strangler or the BTK Killer. Between 1974 and 1991, Rader killed ten people in Wichita and Park City, Kansas, and sent taunting letters to police and newspapers describing the details of his crimes.

The Zodiac Killer is the pseudonym of a serial killer who operated in Northern California in the late 1960s. The case has been described as the most famous unsolved murder case in American history, becoming a fixture of popular culture and inspiring amateur detectives to attempt to resolve it.

In Ireland

Malcolm Daniel Edward McArthur, now 56, has served 20 years of a life sentence for the murder of Nurse Bridie Gargan, who was bludgeoned to death as she sunned herself in Dublin's Phoenix Park during a work break. Three days later he murdered a farmer, Mr Donal Dunne, in Co Westmeath.

And

The Shankill Butchers were an Ulster loyalist gang—many of whom were members of the Ulster Volunteer Force (UVF)—that was active between 1975 and 1982 in Belfast, Northern Ireland. It was based in the Shankill area and was responsible for the deaths of at least 23 people, most of whom were killed in sectarian attacks. The gang was notorious for kidnapping, torturing and murdering random or suspected Catholic civilians; each was beaten ferociously and had their throat hacked with a butcher's knife. Some were also tortured and attacked with a hatchet. The gang also killed six Ulster Protestants over personal disputes, and two other Protestants mistaken for Catholics.

Most of the gang were eventually caught and, in February 1979, received the longest combined prison sentences in United Kingdom legal history. However, gang leader Lenny Murphy and his two chief "lieutenants" escaped prosecution. Murphy was murdered in November 1982 by the Provisional IRA, likely acting with loyalist paramilitaries who perceived him as a threat.[1] The Butchers brought a new level of paramilitary violence to a country already hardened by death and destruction.[2] The judge who oversaw the 1979 trial described their crimes as "a lasting monument to blind sectarian bigotry".

Carl Ponzram , he was a fecking lunatic.

Donald Trump

Paul Le Roux.

He was a computer programmer accused of stealing source code from his employer and releasing it as the open source program, now discontinued, E4M (Encryption for the masses).

He then diversified into some other fields. Interesting character by all accounts.

In Ireland, it has to be the man who stole billions and is directly responsible for numerous deaths around the country.

Thanks so much for everyone’s contributions. I really appreciate it. Do people differentiate good and bad criminals to determine notoriety?

Define good and bad ?

How about empathy and narcissism, there are people out there who don't care and don't have the same sort of conscience that normal folk have. Donald Trump is likely responsible for half of the US's Covid deaths by behaving in ways that Obama didn't or wouldn't Or how about Zuckerberg, how many people were murdered for terrorist propaganda because Facebook was more concerned with ad views than policing content ?

The proper notorious criminals can hide away all their wealth so what's in their name is accountable to the nearest €1, you won't see them driving around in a Lambo while on jobseekers like some idiots, they will gladly wear St Bernard instead of North Face.

”Do people differentiate good and bad criminals to determine notoriety?”

But that’s always a question of perspective defined by the person who is asking or evaluating.

I couldn’t care less if the victim of a crime is elderly, but it has a different value for you. So I wonder what angle the OP has.
