Number 8 Emma and Valerie Daly
At about 2 am, on November the 20th of 2021, English woman Natalie Bell was talking to a friend
in Manchester’s city center when she became the victim of a brutal unprovoked attack. 25-year-old
Emma Daly, who was six and a half months pregnant at the time, was identified as a main aggressor
in the group that charged Bell. Emma’s younger sister, Valerie, ran up to the woman and punched
her in the back of the head. Joining the Daly sisters in the attack was Valerie’s girlfriend,
20-year-old Chelsea Leary. As shown by CCTV footage, the trio kicked Bell in the face and body
after she’d collapsed to the ground. Emma pulled the victim back, as she tried to crawl away and,
along with the others, continued raining down strikes on her. Bell was left with a black eye,
cuts and swelling to her right eye, injuries to her nose as well as bruising to her ribs.
The attack had reportedly stemmed from an unspecified grudge and the trio were arrested
in the aftermath. Leary admitted assault and was given a 12-month jail sentence, suspended
for two years. Emma and Valerie pleaded guilty to assault occasioning actual bodily harm and were
jailed for 14 months each. For the former it meant that she’d have to give birth while behind bars.
The Daly sisters had a history of trouble with the law. Emma had 19 offences on her record,
some of which included assaulting police, while Valerie had been involved in a racist gang attack
on an Afro-Caribbean hair and makeup artist, in 2018. The woman was verbally abused, subjected
to racial slurs and reportedly told to go back to her country. She was also physically assaulted,
suffering cuts and bruising to her head while also having clumps of hair ripped out of her scalp.
Number 7 Justin Balboa
31-year-old Justin Balboa was acting tough and gesturing arm-wrestling techniques while
heavily intoxicated at a restaurant called B Square Burgers in Fort Lauderdale, Florida,
on June the 27th of 2021. A bystander then captured the man on cellphone video as he stepped
back and bumped into another of the bar’s patrons. He was later identified as mixed martial artist
and elite Muay Thai kickboxer Joe Schilling. The 37-year-old gently moved Balboa out of his way and
continued walking. Balboa then shouted something at Schilling, prompting him to turn around,
at which point Balboa lunged at him. Fight analysts commenting on the footage would
later note that the movement was indicative of him gearing up to throw a right hand at Schilling. The
professional fighter reacted before that could happen and landed a rapid punch combination to
Balboa’s head which knocked him unconscious. After regaining consciousness, he called the
police and told them that Schilling had hit him for no reason. The man was hospitalized with a
head injury and eventually recovered while a video of the knockout was widely shared online in the
incident’s wake. Commenting on what had happened on social media, the fighter maintained he’d acted
in self-defense while also noting that Balboa had uttered racist remarks to the bar’s staff
prior to the altercation. Schilling later told a media outlet that no official charges had been
filed against him. On July the 1st, Balboa filed a personal injury lawsuit against the fighter and
the corporate entity behind B Square Burgers. The suit accused the pro-fighter of battery
and the establishment of negligence, seeking close to $100,000 in damages.
Number 6 Juan Luis Lagunas Rosales Teenage influencer Juan Luis Lagunas Rosales
became popular on social media in his native Mexico through videos in which he drank heavily
as well as for his “baby face” and sense of humor. At the age of 15, before finishing high school, he
moved to Culiacán, the capital and largest city of Sinaloa. The state was notorious for its criminal
activity, with its eponymous cartel once headed by notorious drug lord Joaquín "El Chapo" Guzmán.
Rosales rose to fame through an Internet persona he dubbed The Pirate of Culiacán and amassed close
to 2 million followers across various social media platforms. Then, in late 2017, the inebriated
influencer was filmed insulting Mexico’s most wanted man, drug lord Nemesio “El Mencho” Oseguera
Cervantes. Under his leadership, the Jalisco New Generation Cartel had become one of the country’s
leading criminal organizations, with much of its reputation relying on the aggressive
use of extreme violence. The cartel had even been reported to cannibalize its victims, sometimes as
training for new members. At the time that Rosales was filmed insulting Cervantes, both the US and
Mexico were offering millions of dollars for information leading to the latter’s capture.
Weeks after posting the video, on December the 18th, Rosales was partying with his friends at the
Mentados Cantaros bar, in Jalisco, and gave away his location on Instagram. A group of sicarios
burst into the establishment, at around 11 pm, and opened fire on the influencer. He was shot
15 to 18 times and died on the spot with his body subsequently identified via his tattoos.
A 25-year-old bar employee was also gunned down and no arrests were reported in connection to the
incident in the immediate aftermath. Number 5 Autumn King
20-year-old Texas woman Autumn King was taken into custody by the Lone Star Fugitive Task Force,
on January the 14th of 2019, in connection to the shooting death of her boyfriend, 26-year-old Eric
Charles Allen. Officers from the Austin Police Department were called to their Rampart Street
home on December the 23rd of the previous year. They found Allen with a gunshot wound and the
emergency services tried to save his life but the man passed away before he could be transported to
a hospital. Following her arrest, King told law enforcement that she and her boyfriend had tried
to be “like Bonnie and Clyde” on Snapchat. Allen had tried to take a photo of her as she was aiming
a loaded assault rifle at him. As recounted by King, she then mistakenly pressed the trigger
and a bullet struck her boyfriend. At first, she thought he was playing a prank on her but then
called 911 upon realizing he was really hurt. A coroner listed the cause of the man’s death as
homicide and King faced manslaughter charges. Number 4 Jeyegganesh Eswaran
In January of 2020, personal trainer Harry Hronopoulos was kissing his girlfriend, Jade
Conarty, on the floor outside the Town Hall train station, in Sydney’s Central Business District. As
shown by CCTV footage, which subsequently went viral, the couple were approached by two men,
one of whom was named as Jeyegganesh Eswaran. They started harassing the couple and insulted Conarty,
who then reportedly pushed Eswaran in the chest. A scuffle ensued and Hronopoulos intervened,
fearing for the safety of his girlfriend. He traded several punches with the other men and
eventually landed a powerful blow to Eswaran’s chin, which knocked him out cold. The man fell to
the concrete and suffered critical head injuries which allegedly left him with memory problems
following his recovery. Even though the footage and Conarty’s report seemingly confirmed that
Hronopoulos had acted in his and his girlfriend’s defense, he was arrested on charges of assault
recklessly occasioning grievous bodily harm. In April of 2021, however, his defense plea was
accepted and he was cleared of any wrongdoing. Number 3 Fab Tanga
Leading up to July the 23rd of 2022, British Twitter user Fab Tanga had been pestering IBF
flyweight world champion Sunny Edwards online. The former challenged the pro-boxer to a fight,
claiming they were both “warriors”, even though he was a novice while Edwards had been ranked
by BoxRec as the world’s best active flyweight the year prior. Tanga, whom many described as an
Internet troll, then travelled 200 miles by train from London to the Sheffield gym where 26-year-old
Edwards trained. He posted a photo of himself outside of the building prompting a video reply
from the enraged boxing champion, who claimed he was “on the way”. Edwards, who at the time had
his two young children in the car, showed up at the gym and the ensuing bout was live-streamed on
social media. The professional boxer’s superiority was evident throughout the session, as he kept
his hands down and easily evaded the wild swings coming from the physically larger but evidently
inexperienced Tanga. The pair reached a second round, when Edwards struck the other man with
a hard left hook to the head, which sent him with his back on the ropes. Exhaustion and the fear of
incurring further damage led to Tanga quitting the bout. Both men exchanged complimentary tweets in
the aftermath, with Edwards claiming Tanga had earned his respect and the latter praising the
boxer as the UK’s “super champion”. Number 2 Christopher Rivas
A man in West Covina, California, walked up to the front lobby of a local police station, in February
of 2017, while carrying an aluminum baseball bat. 28-year-old Christopher Rivas was caught by
security cameras as he started hitting the bat against the station’s glass windows. Terrified
by his outburst, three women seated next to the windows in the lobby then ran to a secure area.
Rivas stood in the sliding doors, threatening to enter and cause further mayhem. He took a
few more swings at one of the doors as officers inside were preparing to intercept him. While
Rivas was distracted, an unnamed officer who’d been outside as the incident was unfolding crept
up behind him. He got within a few feet of the baseball-bat wielder then charged and forcefully
tackled him. They both landed inside the police station where other members of law enforcement
subdued Rivas and took him into custody. No motive was disclosed for his attack on the station that
resulted in the man being charged with assault with a deadly weapon and resisting arrest.
Number 1 Erica Cole Alabama woman Erica Cole was arrested in July of
2019 on charges of attempted murder, assault and reckless endangerment. A heated road rage argument
had occurred along Highway 69, in Dodge City, involving the 31-year-old, her husband Nicholas
and another motorist. The confrontation culminated at a home in Bremen, on County Road 160, where
Erica brandished a pistol with the intention of shooting the unnamed person involved in the feud.
She misaimed her weapon, however, and accidentally shot her husband in the head. The man was rushed
to the intensive care at the UAB Hospital and subsequently pronounced to be in stable condition.
Erica was arrested but it wasn’t made immediately clear if she had any legal representation. An
investigation was launched into the incident which generated a number of conspiracy theories among
Internet users. The most prominent speculation was that Erica and the other motorist knew each other
and they’d deliberately set up the road rage confrontation so that she could kill Nicholas.
