Your Favourite Outlaw?

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.

I'll probably get flayed alive for this but I always liked Martin Cahill aka 'The General'. I know he did some terrible things but I always thought of him as a bad ass with a conscience.

He was a character all right (the art heist was genius.. to begin with at least).

I think he got a bit too greedy in the end. I've read the book and watched the movie and cried at the end of both.

My history teacher told me I was neurotic for feeling any sort of compassion and admiration for such a monster. I told him I like to see the good in everyone. :pac:

I'm still waiting for the flaying to commence.

For me at least, any chance he had of going down in the history books as a loveable rouge, ended when he had the bomb placed in a forensic scientist's car.

My favourite real-life outlaw would be 'D. B. Cooper'

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/D._B._Cooper

D. B. Cooper is a media epithet popularly used to refer to an unidentified man who hijacked a Boeing 727 aircraft in the airspace between Portland, Oregon, and Seattle, Washington, on November 24, 1971, extorted $200,000 in ransom (equivalent to $1,160,000 in 2014), and parachuted to an uncertain fate. Despite an extensive manhunt and an ongoing FBI investigation, the perpetrator has never been located or positively identified. The case remains the only unsolved air piracy in American aviation history.

In my opinion his escapade is the definition of what is meant by the term bad-ass.

Oh....wait...

What did he 'steal' exactly?

Fair play for the poor having stuff to be stolen, you'd almost say they weren't poor at all in that case.

Robin Hood, robbed from the rich and gave to the poor....

Hmmm....works the opposite nowadays....

But he was still determined to get his social welfare entitlements. Classy.

Reminds me of those 'freeman' ass***es.

And I'm sure anyone who was burgled by Cahill was equally impressed. And he was stupid enough to **** with the IRA

Career criminal scum.

Nothing to admire. Move along.

Surprised no one has mentioned Assange or Snowden.

Thankfully Bin Laden was brought to justice and put down like the dog he was.

The Diabolical Monocle

That barefoot thief guy ... Or nickname along those lines ... Basically a teenager who went on a massive run of theft of boats and small planes. Some speculate he has the ass-burgers but he managed to learn to fly just from books and videos and managed to outwit and evade the law while generating a fan base.

Now he's in jail in the us iirc - being bummed. Ah well can't win em all.

Barefoot bandit. Colton harris.
Crashed a stolen plane into an Indian reservation, puking all over it in his near death escape, before stealing a powerboat to go to the Bahamas where he'd break into peoples houses for icecreams lol

Who knows,the mythbusters episode where they re-enacted the escape showed it could easily be done.Morris's escape partners families are certain they are alive somewhere one even claimed to have gotten a Christmas card one year from them.rumour was flying about that on the 50th anniversary of their escape they would return to Alcatraz for a visit.must have worried the local sheriffs department as they sent officers over there that day to see if they could spot them.

Morris was very intelligent,so I'd say if they made it they went to ground very quickly.think it was one of the biggest manhunts the states has ever seen.
