    No, not Ezzard...I came from a killer town, but I was not known as a killer puncher in the ring.

    The problem I would have guessing this is that human history being what it is, almost the whole damn world fits into the "horrible acts" were done if we go back to witch burnings, various wars and massacres, genocides, political murders, torture, religious persecutions, slave trading, etc.

    Can you narrow it down a bit?

    Most of Europe fits this.

    Were these acts committed by a ruler or powerful figure or are we talking about a nutsoid loner?
