Eric Rudolph The topic of abortion has been a hot-button
issue for years.
Eric Rudolph took an extreme stance when he bombed an abortion clinic as part of a series
of four bombings.
In 1996, Rudolph, a member of the Army of God extremist group, orchestrated the Centennial
Olympic Park Bombing during the 1996 Summer Olympics.
It was part of a series of four bombings between 1996 and 1998 related to Rudolph's beliefs
against abortion and homosexuality.
Over the course of his spree, the Olympic Park Bomber killed two and injured 111, earning
him four consecutive life sentences without the possibility of parole.

Michael Swango We like to think we can trust our doctors,
but Joseph Michael Swango proved that trust can be a dangerous thing.
According to the trial that landed him in prison with three consecutive life terms without
parole, Swango was accused of killing as many as 60 patients and coworkers.
Swango often poisoned his patients, known to administer an overdose of that patient's
prescribed drug.
As for the coworkers he killed, his weapon of choice was arsenic.

Lisa M. Montgomery These lists are often stacked with men, but
Lisa Montgomery earns her spot for the ruthless 2004 murder of Bobbie Jo Stinnett.
Surprisingly, the murder wasn't even the worst of Montgomery's actions.
At the time of her death, Stinnet was pregnant.
Posing as another pregnant woman named Darline Fischer in a rat terrier chatroom, Montgomery
earned the trust of Stinnet to a point where they finally met.
On December 16th, 2004, Montgomery strangled Stinnett and cut out her unborn infant.
The following day, Montgomery was found with the still-alive newborn and later was sentenced
to death, though a previously unmentioned mental illness could change her sentence.
7.
Charles Manson It doesn't take brute strength to be a dangerous
person.
As Charles Manson proves, sometimes it's about being able to manipulate others to do your
bidding.
Manson was the leader of "The Family" and orchestrated the murder of Sharon Tate, but
was not present for the crime.
Manson was able to manipulate Charles Watson, Patricia Krenwinkel, Susan Atkins, and Linda
Kasabian to carry out the deed, instead.
The leader of "The Family" had gathered a group of around 100 followers, which was thought
to have been connected to 35 murders, though never tried for.
Manson passed away in 2017 of natural causes, though it's possible he still has an influence
over some.
6.
Rodney Alcala Know also as The Dating Game Killer, for having
made an appearance on the game show during his killing spree, on July 24th, 1979, Alcala
was arrested for the murder of 12-year-old Robin Samsoe, though it was far from the first
time he had a run-in with the law.
In 1968, Alcala committed his first known crime by beating and raping eight-year-old
Tali Shapiro.
He fled California to avoid arrest and moved to the East Coast under the name John Berger.
Shortly after his arrival in New Hampshire, 23-year-old Cornelia Michel Crilley was found
raped and strangled to death.
Shortly after, Alcala earned a place on the FBI's Ten Most Wanted Fugitives list.
Alcala's full list of crimes later included the assault of a 13-year-old girl, the rape
of 15-year-old Monique Hoyt, and photographing nude teenage boys.
The alleged list of Alcala's victims is thought to stretch to 130 people.
5.
Tyler Bingham The Aryan Brotherhood prison gang is among
one of the most dangerous, if not the most dangerous prison gang in the United States.
Several people from the Aryan Brotherhood will wind up on this list, including Tyler
Bingham.
His murder conviction was enough to paint a nasty portrait, but Bingham proved how dangerous
he was when he became a lieutenant of the Aryan Brotherhood.
In 1997, Bingham was connected to a race war and in 2006, was put on trial for ordering
20 murders and assaults.
Bingham was sentenced to a life sentence with no possibility of parole after avoiding the
death penalty.
4.
Pedro Rodrigues Filho Connected to upwards of 100 murders, Pedro
Rodrigues Filho of Brazil was sentenced to 128 years in prison.
His life of killing started at the age of 14 when he killed vice-Mayor of Alfenas, Minas
Gerais, for firing his father for stealing food from the school he worked at.
When Filho felt he found who the real thief was, he killed him.
When a woman he lived with, Maria Aparecida Olympia was murdered by gang members, Filho
went on a killing spree to find out the identity of the gangster involved in her death.
At 18-years-old, he had killed another 10 people.
Filho then murdered his father for killing his mother, cut out a piece of his heart,
and partially chewed it before throwing it away.
Even in prison, Filho couldn't keep from killing.
3.
Barry Mills When Tyler Bingham incited the race war of
1997, he didn't act alone.
Barry Byron "The Baron" Mills was working alongside the lieutenant.
At 21-years-old, Mills was incarcerated for armed robbery and has been in and out of jail
ever since.
During each stint in prison, Mills rose through the ranks of the Aryan Brotherhood, eventually
becoming a leader and became responsible for the expansion of the gang in federal and state
prisons.
Mills has been connected with drug trafficking, racketeering, conspiracy, murder, and, in
1979, was convicted of nearly decapitating a fellow inmate at a maximum-security prison.
2.
Thomas Silverstein Often labeled the most violent prisoner in
America, Thomas Silverstein was first arrested in 1971 at the age of 19 for armed robbery.
Six years later, he was back for three more armed robberies.
He was in and out of prison for years and eventually joined the Aryan Brotherhood.
In 1983, he was placed in solitary confinement after murdering prison guard Merle Clutts
at Marion Penitentiary in Illinois, and there he's been ever since.
Before his 24/7 stint in solitary, Silverstein was an Aryan Brotherhood leader and was allegedly
connected to the murder of D.C.
Blacks gang leader Raymond "Cadillac" Smith after Smith was found stabbed 67 times.
Silverstein is in the middle of a life sentence with a potential release date of Nov. 2nd,
2095, at his very unlikely age of 143 years old.

Ramzi Yousef At the heart of the 1993 World Trade Center
bombing was Ramzi Ahmed Yousef.
The Kuwaiti-born militant was also accused of being involved in the bombing of Philippine
Airlines Flight 434 and the Bonjinka plot, a large-scale attack that, if not foiled,
could have resulted in the death of Pope John Paul II and passengers of 11 different airlines.
Yousef was also allegedly tied to the attempted assassinations of Benazir Bhutto, former Prime
Minister of Pakistan; a planned bombing of the Israeli embassy in Bangkok; and the bombing
of a Shi'ite shrine in Iran that killed 26 people.
In 1995, Yousef was arrested and later sentenced to life imprisonment with no parole, plus
240 years.
