born evil?

Is evil learned?
QUEEN
MARY I
1516-1558
Mary was the only child of Henry VIII and
Catherine of Aragon to live past infancy.
Crowned after the death of Edward VI and
the removal of The Nine Days Queen-Lady
Jane Grey, Mary is chiefly remembered for
temporarily and violently returning
England to Catholicism. Many prominent
Protestants were executed for their beliefs
leading to the moniker “Bloody Mary”.
Fearing the gallows a further 800
Protestants left the country, unable to
return until her death. It should be noted
that Elizabeth I shares position 10 on this
list for her equally bad behavior.
Myra
Hindley
1942-2002
Myra Hindley and Ian Brady were responsible for the
“Moors murders” occurring in the Manchester area of
Britain in the mid 1960’s. Together these two monsters
were responsible for the kidnapping, sexual abuse,
torture and murder of three children under the age of
twelve and two teenagers, aged 16 and 17. A key found
in Myra’s possession led to incriminating evidence stored
at a left-luggage depot at Manchester Central Station. The
evidence included a tape recording of one of the murder
victims screaming as Hindley and Brady raped and
tortured her. In the final days before incarceration, she
developed a swagger and arrogant attitude that became
her trademark. Police secretary Sandra Wilkinson has
never forgotten seeing Hindley and her mother Nellie,
leaning against the courthouse eating sweets. While the
mother was obviously and understandably upset,
Hindley seemed indifferent and uncaring of her
situation.
Ilse Koch
Born: 1906;
Died: 1967
“Die Hexe von Buchenwald” the Witch of Buchenwald, or “Buchenwälder
Schlampe” the Bitch of Buchenwald was the wife of Karl Koch, commandant
of the concentration camps Buchenwald from 1937 to 1941, and Majdanek
from 1941 to 1943. Drunk on the absolute power rendered by her husband,
she reveled in torture and obscenity. Infamous for her souvenirs; tattoos
taken from the murdered inmates, her reputation for debauchery was well
earned. After building an indoor sports arena in 1940, with 250,000 marks
stolen from inmates, Ilsa was promoted to Oberaufseherin or “chief
overseer” of the few female guards at Buchenwald. She committed suicide
by hanging herself at Aichach women’s prison on September 1, 1967.
Idi Amin Dada
Idi Amin was an army officer and president
of Uganda. He took power in a military
coup in January 1971, deposing Milton
Obote. His rule was characterized by
human rights abuses, political repression,
ethnic persecution, extra judicial killings
and the expulsion of Indians from Uganda.
The number of people killed as a result of
his regime is unknown; estimates range
from 80,000 to 500,000. On August 4, 1972,
Amin issued a decree ordering the expulsion
of the 60,000 Asians who were not Ugandan
citizens (most of them held British
passports). This was later amended to
include all 80,000 Asians, with the exception
of professionals, such as doctors, lawyers
and teachers. Amin was eventually
overthrown, but until his death, he held that
Uganda needed him and he never expressed
remorse for the abuses of his regime.
Pol Pot
Pol Pot was the leader of the Khmer Rouge and the
Prime Minister of Cambodia from 1976 to 1979,
having been de facto leader since mid-1975. During
his time in power Pol Pot imposed an extreme
version of agrarian communism where all city
dwellers were relocated to the countryside to work
in collective farms and forced labour projects. The
combined effect of slave labour, malnutrition,
poor medical care and executions is estimated to
have killed around 2 million Cambodians
(approximately one third of the population). His
regime achieved special notoriety for singling out
all intellectuals and other “bourgeois enemies” for
murder. The Khmer Rouge committed mass
executions in sites known as the Killing Fields. The
executed were buried in mass graves. In order to
save ammunition, executions were often carried out
using hammers, axe handles, spades or sharpened
bamboo sticks.
Hirohito
Hirohito was the Emporer of Japan from 1926 to 1989. In 1937, Japanese
troops committed the war crime that is now known as the Rape of Nanking
(the then Capital of China, now known as Nanjing). The duration of the
massacre is not clearly defined, although the violence lasted well into the
next six weeks, until early February 1938. During the occupation of
Nanjing, the Japanese army committed numerous atrocities, such as rape,
looting, arson and the execution of prisoners of war and civilians. A large
number of women and children were also killed, as rape and murder
became more widespread. The death toll is generally considered to be
between 150,000 and 300,000.
