I think deep down we all have some admiration for those who buck the system and refuse to conform. They do things their own way. Even though we know they're very wrong and troubled there's still a coolness factor. :cool:

Sometimes there's a noble reason for their defiance but often it's just pure greed and badness, the human condition.:)

Examples of bad asses in history, William 'Billy the Kid' Bonney, Jesse James, Bonnie and Clyde, Salvatore 'Lucky' Luciano, John Gotti.

+1 for Dillinger. At one stage he was so rich he just robbed banks for fun. That's badass...

Dick Turpin another, the highwayman, "Your money or your life".

I loved the way he accepted the courts decision to execute him, he drank to excess with his associates on his last night in York. He threw himself off the ladder the next morning and hanged the old fashioned way (before the long drop was invented) gurgling and gasping for 15 minutes before he was declared dead.

Henry Hill - The Original Goodfella

Henry Hill was an Irish-Italian-American, who grew up in a poor area of Brooklyn. Starting out as a juvenile errand boy for members of the Lucchese Crime Family, Henry rapidly ascended the ladder, becoming a well known associate of the Family. Due to not being a full-blooded Italian (his father was Irish-American), Hill could never be "made". This didn't stop him from having direct contact with the upper echelons of the Mafia.

Stints in the Army and prison dotted his career, but it was a fateful decision to enter into the burgeoning drug trade in the late 1970's that brought about Hill's downfall. Arrested for cocaine trafficking in 1980, Hill was looking at 30-years-to-life. He cut a deal, became a "rat" and vanished... until 1990 when one of the greatest films ever made brought Hill's story to the world. Goodfellas, starring Ray Liotta, Robert De Niro, Joe Pesci, Lorraine Braco, Paul Sorvino and Frank Vincent, is a supreme gangster epic that chronicled Hill's life and crimes.
