WTF facts about the most dangerous people in history (srs)

[kebab69]

Yeah.
Most fked up person in my book.
Don't think any other serial killers compare...

Pedro Alonso Lopez – Body count: 300+



By far one of the most prolific serial killers of all time, the “Monster of the Andes” butchered enough people to fill a small town. After killing around 100 tribal women in Peru in the 1970s, he was apprehended by tribal forces that were just about ready to execute him when they were convinced by an American missionary that was staying with them at the time to take him to the police force instead. Unfortunately, the police then just let him go, after which Lopez travelled to Ecuador, where he proceeded to kill about 3-4 girls a week, claiming that girls in Ecuador were “more gentle and trusting, more innocent”. This carried on until he was caught in 1980, but police were still unsure as to his guilt, but a flash flood uncovered a mass grave that had hidden many of his victims, which then led to his arrest. However, the Ecuador government then released him in 1998, deporting him to Columbia. Lopez allegedly said that he was being released for “good behavior”.


Henry Lee Lucas – Body count: Somewhere in the region of 4-213


Originally confessing to thousands of murders with his accomplice, Ottis Toole, police then subsequently attributed roughly 213 murder cases to his name (although only 4 were ever solidly proven to have been committed by him, one of which included his own abusive mother), thanks to the information they garnered from Lucas. He was apprehended in 1983 and was then sentenced to death, but bizarrely enough, his sentence was commuted to life in prison by the then-Governor George W. Bush. Out of 153 death penalty cases to be reviewed, Bush decided that this was the only case he’d intervene on. Many people believe that Lucas had simply been toying with the police, testing them, maybe hoping to embarrass them somehow, just to see how far he could go. Lucas died of natural causes in 2001, aged 64, taking the true number of how many crimes he committed to the grave with him.

Muhammad Ali Jinnah
محمد علی جناح




__________________________________________________ __________________________

Muhammad Ali Jinnah was a 20th century lawyer, politician, statesman and the founder of Pakistan. He is popularly and officially known in Pakistan as Quaid-e-Azam (Urdu: قائد اعظم — "Great Leader") and Baba-e-Qaum (بابائے قوم) ("Father of the Nation").
.

In his biography of Jinnah titled "Jinnah of Pakistan", the historian, Stanley Wolpert, makes the following observation that succinctly describes the legacy of Jinnah and his footprint on history:

Few individuals significantly alter the course of history. Fewer still modify the map of the world. Hardly anyone can be credited with creating a nation-state. Muhammad Ali Jinnah did all three.

"Failure is a word unknown to me," he once said.

Jinnah studied at Bombay University and at Lincoln's Inn in London. He then ran a successful legal practice in Bombay. As a lawyer he used these qualities to win famous legal cases.
- Historians tell us that people crowded the courtrooms just to hear him speak. He was a great orator, always neat, well groomed and well prepared.
- He would enthrall his audience - judges, jurors, lawyers and spectators - with his clear cut arguments and quick thinking.
- He became one of the most successful and sought after lawyers in Bombay just a few years after starting his practice there.

"Although without Ghandi, Hindustan would still have gained independence, without Jinnah there would have been no Pakistan in 1947." (John Biggs-Davison, British politician)

Young Lawyer

The Western world not only inspired Jinnah in his political life. England had greatly influenced his personal preferences, particularly when it came to dress. Jinnah donned Western style clothing and he pursued the fashion with fervor. It is said he owned over 200 hand-tailored suits which he wore with heavily starched shirts with detachable collars. It is also alleged that he never wore the same silk tie twice.

Holly sht.. I don't even...
I can't believe 1 person can have enough capability to single handedly end that many lives.
But you have to admit, Albert Fish is messed up on so many more levels than just his body count.

In my opinion, the most dangerous people in history aren't the people who did the despicable acts like stalin or hitler but the people who intentionally created the environment to put them in a position of power.

For example certain groups of people who cause economic downturns, then offers the public the solution which could be socialism, nazism, or socialism.

[brato]

I agree to an extent, but they have to have a leader to fill their heads with that crap.

"Most dangerous" is subject to opinion.
I'm open to all opinions, and all levels of dangerous.
You give me a suggestion, I'll research it.

Vlad III the Impaler


http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vlad_III_the_Impaler
Strong curly locks are strong.

Vlad III, Prince of Wallachia (1431–1476), more commonly known as Vlad the Impaler, or simply as Dracula, was a three-time Voivode of Wallachia, ruling mainly from 1456 to 1462. Historically, Vlad Dracula was famous as the Medieval prince who murdered tens of thousands of people in Transylvania by impalement.

A lot of sources are hard to differentiate between fact and fiction, but I'll do my best.

- Vlad reigned on three separate occasions: 1448, between 1456 and 1462, and 1476.

- Some say that he may have inspired the fictional vampire Dracula because he lusted for blood and was excessively and unbelievably cruel.

- His favorite method of torturing and killing was by impaling his victims from the anus up or vice versa. He is said to have allegedly impaled thousands of people including women and children.

- Vlad was said to especially enjoyed mass executions, where several victims were impaled at once, and their stakes hoisted upright. As they hung suspended above the ground, the weight of their bodies would slowly drag them downwards, causing the sharpened end of the stake to pierce their internal organs causing a slow painful death. In order to better enjoy these mass spectacles, Vlad routinely ordered a banquet table set up in front of his victims, and would enjoy a leisurely supper amid the pitiful sights and sounds of the dying.

- Aside from impalement, he also used skinning, disembowelment, scalping, burning and disfigurement. One account says he once feasted on the blood and flesh of his victims.

- It is estimated that Vlad killed some 20,000 men, women and children - the amount of people he killed varies from anywhere between 20,000 to 500,000. He showed no mercy and often tortured his enemies before killing them.

In 1985 an Idaho physician Dr. Thomas McDevitt suggested that he may have suffered from a bizarre allergic reaction to blood. He claimed that in some allergic reactions to a given substance, sufferers also developed an addiction to that same substance, and if deprived of it they could react in a highly bizarre and deranged manner. Could Vlad of just been throwing a tantrum every time he craved blood? Portraits of the price depict him with dark circles beneath his eyes, puffy cheeks and a sallow pallid complexion - classic characteristics of some types of allergy victim

http://www.castleofspirits.com/vlad.html

Many modern day Romanians see him as a hero and nationalist and do not acknowledge any connections between him and the fictional vampire. There is no doubt that Vlad III was truly cruel and was really an impaler but his supporters claim that he was a just ruler and was only cruel because he wanted to impose a strict moral code to encourage people to work hard and be honest.

Pol Pot - Communist Genocide


http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pol_Pot
http://www.historyplace.com/worldhis...de/pol-pot.htm

Saloth Sar, better known as Pol Pot, was the leader of the Cambodian communist movement known as the Khmer Rouge and was Prime Minister of Democratic Kampuchea from 1976–1979. Pol Pot's leadership, in which he attempted to "cleanse" the country, resulted in the deaths of an estimated 1.7–2.5 million people.

By time Prince Sihanouk was striped of power, and the U.S. intermittently bombed North Vietnamese sanctuaries in eastern Cambodia, killing up to 150,000 Cambodian peasants, the economic and military destabilization of Cambodia resulted in a surge of popular support for Pol Pot.

He began by declaring, "This is Year Zero," and that society was about to be "purified." Capitalism, Western culture, city life, religion, and all foreign influences were to be extinguished in favor of an extreme form of peasant Communism.

All foreigners were thus expelled, embassies closed, and any foreign economic or medical assistance was refused. The use of foreign languages was banned. Newspapers and television stations were shut down, radios and bicycles confiscated, and mail and telephone usage curtailed. Money was forbidden. All businesses were shuttered, religion banned, education halted, health care eliminated, and parental authority revoked. Thus Cambodia was sealed off from the outside world.

All of Cambodia's cities were then forcibly evacuated. At Phnom Penh, two million inhabitants were evacuated on foot into the countryside at gunpoint. As many as 20,000 died along the way.

Millions of Cambodians accustomed to city life were now forced into slave labor in Pol Pot's "killing fields" where they soon began dying from overwork, malnutrition and disease, on a diet of one tin of rice (180 grams) per person every two days. Starving people were forbidden to eat the fruits and rice they were harvesting. After the rice crop was harvested, Khmer Rouge trucks would arrive and confiscate the entire crop.

Throughout Cambodia, deadly purges were conducted to eliminate remnants of the "old society" - the educated, the wealthy, Buddhist monks, police, doctors, lawyers, teachers, and former government officials. Ex-soldiers were killed along with their wives and children.

In the villages, unsupervised gatherings of more than two persons were forbidden. Young people were taken from their parents and placed in communals. They were later married in collective ceremonies involving hundreds of often-unwilling couples.

Up to 20,000 persons were tortured into giving false confessions at Tuol Sleng, a school in Phnom Penh which had been converted into a jail. Elsewhere, suspects were often shot on the spot before any questioning.

Ethnic groups were attacked including the three largest minorities; the Vietnamese, Chinese, and Cham Muslims, along with twenty other smaller groups. Fifty percent of the estimated 425,000 Chinese living in Cambodia in 1975 perished. Khmer Rouge also forced Muslims to eat pork and shot those who refused.

On December 25, 1978, Vietnam launched a full-scale invasion of Cambodia seeking to end Khmer Rouge border attacks. On January 7, 1979, Phnom Penh fell and Pol Pot was deposed. The Vietnamese then installed a puppet government consisting of Khmer Rouge defectors. In April 1998, 73-year-old Pol Pot died of an apparent heart attack following his arrest, before he could be brought to trial by an international tribunal for the events of 1975-79.

Idi Amin - Uganda


http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Idi_Amin
http://www.moreorless.au.com/killers/amin.html
Full name Idi Amin Dada Oumee. AKA 'Big Daddy', AKA 'Butcher of Africa', AKA 'Conqueror of the British Empire', AKA 'Lord of All the Beasts of the Earth and Fishes of the Sea'.

Idi was a military leader and President of Uganda from 1971 to 1979.
Amin joined the British colonial regiment and eventually held the rank of Major General and Commander of the Ugandan Army prior to taking power in the military coup of January 1971. He later promoted himself to Field Marshal while he was the head of state. I see what you did tharrr.

Amin's rule was characterized by human rights abuse, political repression, ethnic persecution, extrajudicial killings, nepotism, corruption, and gross economic mismanagement. He's notorious for being one of the bloodiest dictators of the 20th century. He is responsible for the torture and murder of approximately 300,000 people.

- His father is a farmer and a follower of Islam.
- His mother is a member of the Lugbara tribe and is said to practice sorcery.
- Amin received only a rudimentary education but excels at sports and reportedly converts to Islam at an early age.
- 1951, Amin becomes the heavyweight boxing champion of Uganda, holding the title until 1960.

One former commander remembers Amin "as a splendid and reliable soldier and a cheerful and energetic man." Another former commander describes Amin as "an incredible person who certainly isn't mad - very shrewd, very cunning and a born leader."

"I am not an ambitious man, personally," Amin says after taking power, "I am just a soldier with a concern for my country and its people.

Amin is declared president and chief of the armed forces. Almost immediately he initiates mass executions of officers and troops he believes to be loyal to Obote. Overall, as many as two-thirds of the army's 9,000 soldiers are executed during Amin's first year in power.

1972 - Now determined to make Uganda "a black man's country", Amin expels the country's 40,000-80,000 Indians and Pakistanis in the closing months of the year, reportedly after receiving a message from God during a dream.

- the British and Israeli stop support, refusing to sell him more arms.
- Amin then looks to Libya for aid.
- The Soviet Union also provides aid and arms for a time.
- Amin now challenges Britain and the United States, breaks relations with Israel, and throws his support behind the Palestinian liberation movement.

To secure his regime Amin launches a campaign of persecution against rival tribes and Obote supporters, murdering between 100,000 and 500,000 (most sources say 300,000).

- Among those to die are ordinary citizens, former and serving Cabinet ministers, the chief justice, Supreme Court judges, diplomats, academics, educators, prominent Roman Catholic and Anglican clergy, senior bureaucrats, medical practitioners, bankers, tribal leaders, business executives, journalists and a number of foreigners.
- In some cases entire villages are wiped out.
- Corpses are thrown into the Nile.
- In 1976, The he declares himself president for life.
- Britain then breaks off diplomatic relations with Amin's regime.
- Amin declares that he has beaten the British and confers upon himself the title of 'Conqueror of the British Empire'.

1978 - The price of coffee, Uganda's main export, begins to fall, further damaging the already staggering Ugandan economy. Armed rebellions break out in the southwest, coup attempts become an ever-present threat, and the Libyans begin to cut aid.

- Amin launches an attack on Tanzania. T
- Tanzanian troops quickly put Amin's army to flight and counter-invade.
- Amin then flees to Libya, taking his four wives, several of his 30 mistresses and about 20 of his children.

Besides a huge death toll, Amin has left Uganda with an annual inflation rate of 200%, a national debt of US$320 million, an agricultural sector in tatters, closed factories and ruined businesses.

1999 - He expresses no remorse for the abuses of his regime and is reported to say, "I'm very happy now, much happier now then when I was president."

2002 - Uganda officially celebrates Amin's downfall for the first time.
