And not to forget Chopper Read.
He is one mean mother.
Here is some background on one of our nastiest boys.
CRIMINAL ACTIVIY (From Wikipedia)
By his mid-teens, Read was already an accomplished street fighter and the leader of the Surrey Road gang.
He began his criminal career by robbing drug dealers, based in massage parlours in the Prahran area.
He later graduated to kidnapping and torturing members of the criminal underworld, often using a blowtorch or bolt cutters to remove the toes of his victims as an incentive for them to produce enough money so that Read would leave them alive.
While in Pentridge prison's H division in the late 1970s, Read launched a prison war.
His gang, dubbed "The Overcoat Gang" because they wore long coats all year round to conceal their weapons, were involved in several hundred acts of violence against a larger opposing gang during this period.
Around this time, Read had a fellow inmate cut both of his (Read's) ears off in order to be able to leave H division temporarily.
While in his early biographies Read claimed this was to avoid an ambush by other inmates, by being transferred to the mental health wing, his later works state that he did so to "win a bet". The nickname "Chopper" was given to him long before this, from a childhood cartoon character.
Read was ambushed and stabbed by members of his own gang in a sneak attack, when they felt his plan to cripple every other inmate in the entire division and win the gang war in one fell swoop was going too far.
Another theory is that James "Jimmy" Loughnan and Patrick "Blue" Barnes wished to benefit from a contract put on Read's head by the Painters' and Dockers' Union.
Read lost several feet of intestine in the attack. Ironically, Jimmy Loughnan was a longtime friend of Read's. Read was, at the time, serving a 17-year sentence after attacking a judge in an effort to get Loughnan released from prison.[citation needed]
Described variously as witty, charismatic, sadistic and frightening, Read admits to being involved in the killing of 19 people and a further 11 attempts.
Many of his associates in the underworld say he is prone to making up numbers to increase his own notoriety and the sales of his books. Read himself has stated several times he would "never let the truth get in the way of a good yarn". In a recent 2007 interview, Read admitted to being involved in the deaths of only four people, all of which were on the grounds of self-defence, he said.
Convicted of crimes including armed robbery, firearm offences, assault and kidnapping, Read spent 13 months outside prison between the ages of 20 and 38
