Outlaw
James Burke
Jimmy was the kind of guy that rooted for bad guys in the movies.
Robert De Niro played the part of James Burke in the film "Goodfellas". They called him Jimmy Conway in that flick. He was a nut in that movie, what with the killing his friends and all that, but he was a softie compared to the real life guy.
His mom was a hooker and nobody knew who his dad was. He grew up in orphanages and foster care and was abused by the older boys and some men.
He killed something like 50 people. A line from Goodfellas is "Jimmy was doing hits for mob bosses when he was 15" and apparently it's true.
He named his sons Frank James Burke and Jesse James Burke in honour of the Wild West gangsters.
He stole 6 million bucks from JFK airport in 1978 and it was the biggest robbery in American history at the time. Then he killed almost everyone who was in on it, including some wives of the guys who helped him carry it off.
His daughter married a guy named Anthony Indelicato. Anthony is in the slammer now for murdering some people. I only include his name because I think "Anthony Indelicato" is the best name ever.
