20 Most Notorious and Infamous Crimes of the 90s 

Idk you ask me girl.

Too scared to put that black man that went around murdering people because his GF left him huh? I see your bias.

What bout Mendez Bros??

​@@kyero8724you talking about the dc sniper?

Maybe they will do a part 2. For those who are pissed that some didn't make the list.

why they have enough channels already

No

A channel I didn’t know i needed

would be good

Go head & trademark that lol

We researched the James Bulger case in class recently and it stuck with me for a few weeks after we moved on farther in the unit

I know they were just kids too, but those boys should have gotten a much harsher punishment. It's simply a matter of justice.

No one could forget him.

The movie Mikey made around that time was banned for the crime

As a fellow Brit I don’t think anyone will ever forget about what those boys did to him.

I'm from West Memphis. It was a really messed up time! I was 13.

I'm from Arkans as well, I was 11 when it happened. There's no way the state of Arkansas would release anyone they truly believed had brutally murdered three little boys.

They didn't say anything about the Satanic Panick was a big part of the false convictions.

To be honest the West Memphis Three case is a modern day version of the Salem Witch Trials in Massachusetts back in 1692. Both are examples of what can happen if religious extremism can affect the legal system.

Everyone knows it was Terry Hobbs now

if youre talking about the teens, they were innocent. look into it fully.

Can't believe the one busted with CP should have been charged and sentenced to each possession charge to be served concurrent is it??? The one where he has to do each sentence then the next and so on til he gets a lifetime behind bars bc what they did to that lil baby... The torture... lack of remorse and they got away with it ffs

​@@peytonwestlake9181 no no, they mean Venables, mate.

Note to self: Never trust underdeveloped children and adolescents turned criminals in several different countries.

That is one of the two (Emmett Till) murders that makes my heart sink. That poor little boy.

This case scared me to death. I had two college students going to college. It terrified me as a parent. I also had 5 younger kids. A few of them decided college wasn't worth it. They've now gotten their degrees as adults. 😊 Mathew was a kind, quiet guy. These disgusting cowards killed him because he was gay, even though they now say it's not true. Their lying. manipulative, disgusting. foul minds should be on death row. Execution is all they are worth. RIP Mathew. You are greatly missed by all who loved you and by most of the country. We still morn your loss. There really know words to explain the deep grief that the country felt when your life was so viciously taken. Our ❤❤❤ for you is eternal!

In 2012, I took an Introductory Acting class at my local community college. Part of the coursework involved memorizing and performing a monologue, and I picked one that was part of The Laramie Project, about the Matthew Shepard case. This project inspired me to learn more about his life and this tragic case.

​@@jillgross6232👏👏👏👏🙏

Hahahaha I was living in south Phoenix during these years and am same age

of course they are lying @@jillgross6232

Was looking for this comment.

ikr?😢

Shouldn’t have been shocked in the first place. This wasn’t the first time a lot of these crimes have gone down in America

True Crime will always be. It's a Normee Phenomenon that's been around before I was born, been around while I was growing up and still happening now after 10 Years Later after I Graduated Highschool. And True Crime will still happen God be Willing when I become a old person. There'll never be a end to this Normee Phenomenon. It's just is what it is in this Normee 3D World. Five years from now, we'll be hearing more True Crime Cases and Gun Violence Mass Shootings.

That is sad. 😢 You shouldn't feel that way. All of these crimes, except Nancy Kerrigan's were absolutely tragedies that changed the country. I hope you find it in your heart to still find positivity. I personally can understand. I'm old enough to be your Mom. I had two kids of my own in college at the time. I always was on edge. Even my 5 younger ones made me worry constantly. I was glad when they all finished school. We even home scooled our last one at home, he's 29, Autistic and will be scooled at home for any college he does. I had forgotten how tragic the 1990's were until I saw this video. It certainly hasn't gotten better! There's a school shooting about once a week if not more. I believe in the second amendment, but we must get school shootings under control. Our kids deserve our best effort, even if it means extremely tough gun laws. I want a ban on all assault weapons! If you don't willing to give back your weapon than you spend time in jail and we confiscate your weapon anyway The government should buy back these weapons of mass destruction. That way people won't be at a financial loss. Anything to take them off the street or in homes.

@@jillgross6232 Despite all that I see in the world, I remain positive. It's just that I've become sort of dull to events like this. I'm from a small town with a population of a little more than 30, 000 and over the last few years it's become very violent. It's like a shooting every other day. Still I have hope in Jesus and pray and hope that in all this sadness, that there will still be joy.

This technically is the part 2. They did a top 10 on this lists previously (spoiler alert, it’s the last 10 in this video)

@@kurtbush5096 ah, got you. Thank you!

I wish the Menendez brothers would just left home and ran to another country.

The Menendez brothers are ineligible because the murders of their parents took place in 1989.

I think they left the Menendez brothers off because the crime was technically in late 1989...

#1. The Kung-fu ninja wolf bitch

😂😂😂 That could be a part 1 and 2

Also, the top 10 most racist things Uncle Ruckus (no relation) has done/said

@@TheMILVSCR yeah I Like That

lol 😂😂😂😂💯

Ikr 😭

I’m not for vigilante justice against killers But….

Kipland Kinkel. 15-YEARS-OLD. Murdered all 4 people, including his biological parents. Such a sadistic, disgusting human being.

I've never heard of that crime before. What exactly happened?

​@@rosemmagutierrez1386she was sleeping with an underage male student. She also got pregnant by him.

Yes! That case was insane. I am also surprised it didn't get a mention.

Let me guess- she is a rapist?

@@shaquitabennett3107 He was 12 years old when their "relationship" started, and they had 2 kids together and stayed together until Letourneau died (a few years ago). The movie May December is based on their story. Basically the world eventually realized that women can be predators too.

I remember aswell. I am actually from OKC. I was in the first grade at the time. My school wasn't too close to the site, but close enough for windows to get busted and suffer some damage. It was the Scholastic Book Fair. We were all so confused. We didn't know what happened until we got home.

I wrote a paper on Timothy McVeigh. Is back story is interesting.

That coincidence is wild.

Good luck-the NRA heads and 2A won't allow any actual gun reform.

Not a thing unfortunately

Nope just more "thoughts & prayers" unfortunately

America love their guns more than they do their people. After Sandy Hook happened, I knew nothing would ever change. If the slaughter of little children doesn't change anything, then nothing will.

Idiotic comment

My older sister by three years, I and my younger brother and now sil were 90s kids too

I was a small child myself but I somehow remember ALL of these crimes that happened 😭

I remember seeing that on the news

It was a powder keg waiting to go off. I remember everyone in LA was thinking that if OJ came out at guilty, there would again be riot on the streets. The day the verdict was supposed to be read? The streets were empty in South Central LA. Everyone was glued to the tv and waiting to see what would happen.

Indeed. I forgot about that crime actually. I stayed away from Kool Aid for a while after first hearing about that crime.

AND Australia reacted. We tightened gun laws and prohibited some guns. Even though we have as many guns again...they are tightly controlled and he have not had a stranger on stranger 'MASS MURDER' since Port Arthur. 27 years. THAT happens when you are proactive about gun control. Something America will NEVER understand. We will just continue to watch kids murdered at their desks...and America does..................NOTHING. Same as they ALWAYS do. Thoughts and Prayers.... now they FORCE women to have babies but do NOTHING when those babies have their faces blown away wit an AR15? Stupid humans 😢😢😢😢💔💔

Some might say that he's got exactly what he deserves, but the way I see it, it looks like he's come up in the world then & been handsomely rewarded, he doesn't have to worry about rummaging through dumpsters anymore, instead he's got shelter, a bed, 3 good square meals a day & all the free medical treatment he'll ever need & he'll never have to make another decision for himself ever again for the rest of his life & all of it paid for by the taxpayers, not a bad perk when You come to think about it eh?

Bet you they'll never cover him getting an abortion, though.

I remember the murder of jonbenet , honestly the more time that goes on I personally think her brother did it by accident and it was covered up

Rip troy McClure

I was a young adult in my 20's where did time go!

good for Lovitz

Yes and he didn’t choose his color unlike Matthew chose his orientation.

uffft

That is wild.

Did you happen to see the full Rodney King video?

​@@seanbriankirby7646 I think it was an example of excessive force, not an example of appropriate force.

The dead of Oklahoma City would likely disagree

Probably the only contest she won. She came 8th when Nancy Kerrigan won the silver.

No Susan Smith either

@tuesday225 yeah that's was crazy too she can stay where she's at

My thoughts exactly...they mentioned the act that includes his name but not the murder?!?

I learned recently that James Byrd Jr. was the first cousin of Rodney King's wife. Interesting and sad how those things are connected

Prison and with God's help

@@jaclynsanture6643 Why bring god into this, it's pretty petty to believe god would allow three boys to go to prison on flimsy what ifs and profiling of someone in the pagan community then coerced a confession from a mentally disabled boy.....I always get confused with belief your god allows what happened but by "his grace" he got through......seems like a moronic ideal to me. They got out because they were innocent, and everyone outside of arkansas knew it.......not by gods help.

Why are you so sure he is innocent? I'm personally glad he's out as it is not 100% sure that he is guilty, but the type of laces that should have been on his boots were used to tie one of the kids. And his boots did not have the original laces when confiscated. He also failed the polygraph test. We also know that Jessie Misskelley on May6.(the day after the murders) Showed up at a friend's (buddy Lucas) home and insisted that he should be the new owner of his muddy Adidas tennis shoes, which is a really strange thing to insist on, and one hell of a timing. Then add that Deanna Holcomb(Damiens Ex) already in 1992(before the murders) started to alert people that Damien had voiced a plan to kill kids. Something she later confirmed in talks with the police. Most likely they were guilty of course, but I don't think they should get life in prison when it can not be proven.

@@marklinder1798 Most likely they were guilty sir, and anyone bothering to go through the totality of evidence instead of just watching a very bad documentary series knows that. I'm glad they are out though, as its still not 100% sure that they did it. Let's go through a very small amount of stuff that was not mentioned in any documentaries/articles: -On May 6, 1993( the day after the murders) Jessie Misskelley out of the blue insisted that his friend(Buddy Lucas) should be the new owner of his muddy Adidas tennis shoes. That is a very strange thing to insist, and one hell of a timing. -One of the laces used to tie the boys belonged to an adult-size boot. It is the same type of laces that should have been on Jason Baldwin's boots. Jason's boots did not have the original laces on them when confiscated. -Deanna Holcomb(Damien's ex-GF) Already in 1992(before the murders) alerted people that Damien had a plan to kill kids. She confirmed this in an interview with the police on May 11, 1993. It can be found on the Callahan site.

​@@ujmm They recanted those statements, and admitted they were coerced into making them. The laces part, was never reported, nor was the idea that Jessee Miskelley tried to hide his boots. Damien? You're pulling that one out of your ass. Also you're choosing to omit the fact that the night of the murders a black man covered in mud and blood went into the women's room at Bojangles and was in there for a long time. Over an hour. Once he left, when staff went in there, there were paper towels everywhere and the walls were covered with the blood and mud he had come in covered with. The "evidence" used at trial was circumstantial at best. Also witnesses that could prove beyond any kind of doubt that the 3 were innocent were suppressed and forbidden from testifying. Jason's lawyer told him to put his head down and keep it down the entire trial. The idiot claiming that Damien took one of the boys testicles and played with them in his mouth is a known liar, and has done time himself, which included charges for things like perjury, and false reports. The town was screaming for blood, so they picked the first three that stood out a bit. They wore black clothing and listened to Metallica. That was enough for a conviction. Also, Jason and Damien had *NEVER EVER MET JESSEE.* And I bet you didn't know that one of the boys absolutely loves Jason like her own now did you?

That's the major '90's crime I remember the most; hit me pretty hard even though I was just a kid then...

It was a lot worse with fire alarms blaring and flashing lights kids were jumping out of cabinets desks and cops couldn't do much and county clockman went there to reset the alarms looked like a war zone with body parts blood And bullet holes.

Shepard's death changed public attitudes as much as the Freedom Summer murders in 1964. People started to realize hateful rhetoric and intolerance lead to murder. Too bad rightwingnut fascists are spewing the same rhetoric against Trans people now, and the public says "who cares?" as the number of Trans people murdered increases every year.

❤❤❤❤❤❤

Ever since 9/11 Islamophobia was rife in what I like to call the Crescent Scare; akin to the Red Scares during the 20th Century.

They only care about Yankee stuff

🏵

Holy crap... That's some crazy coincidence, crazy-unnerving, that is...

Hitler's birthday is the day after yours, too

It's not a coincidence that the OKC bombing was on the same date as the end of the Waco siege. Timothy McVeigh plotted the bombing as revenge against the government for what happened in Waco and chose April 19th because of that.

There’s another guy higher up that said the same (Waco on his 13th) and it’s interesting to see how it affects people of different ages who can truly understand what they’re living through and who understands what happened (or happening) when they get older. I’m sorry you seem to have such an unlucky day. I hope you yourself have nothing but positivity in life.

Thanks so much for your support! It's truly appreciated:)

That poor little girl 😭

the worst part aside from the torture Shanda endured was after she was set on fire alive they thought she was dead she wasn't but after they set her on fire they all go to McDonalds for breakfast and order Pancakes and Sausage and their sausage was burned and this is the really sickening part they laughed at that burnt sausage and made jokes about how it looked like Shanda's body after they set her on fire such sadistic little bitches and that stupid Hope Rippey her mugshot still pisses me off she was grining from ear to ear ,

Indeed. There was a Gulf War going on in Iraq and a large economic recession that started at the same time. In the business scene there was a console war between SEGA and Nintendo that the AVGN referred to as the Bit Wars with other companies trying to get in on the action from Panasonic to Atari.

prove it

​@@jimbo9208he was proved he was guilty but they couldn't charge him

they are, though.

They are rare, but not as rare as they ought to be

Rare?😅 🙄 Seems like there are school shootings in the USA enough!

They are not rare! 😅😪 The USA always has shootings and enough school shootings, i' d be shocked if they actually stopped!

no one cares

Bot

OMG MINE 2

it's due to some sick sense of needing to protect them from vigilante reprisals. Funny how victims of crime don't get the same protection from the government, by comparison.

Is the o j simpson thing was on every single tv network

Yes, I remerber watching the news about Colombine High School, I was in jr high school at the time and got an eye opener and was sarced

I read last year that there was other high school shootings...one in 1992 and another in 1997. But somehow Columbine gets covered the most.

Thank you so much for your support! It's truly appreciated:)

Unfortunately, guns are ingrained in the American culture.

And on 28 April 1996 Martin Bryant, partly inspired by the Dunblane massacre, shot 35 people dead and injured 23 others at Port Arthur in the Australian state of Tasmania. Another inexplicable omission.

@@paulnorton2885 and then both of your countries fixed your gun laws and have had less mass shootings than the US has had in the last month.

WN is American-centric in their coverage. There's a world outside of the States. Expand your scope.

Phil Hartman deserve justice. His own wife chose to be a domestic abuser and a murderer, disgusting.

Why would she do that to their kids? They were in the house at the time. I would’ve just divorced him.

@@justapeacefulmanwhosbornin7291 how though: she’s dead,. No justice to be had.

I hope that she NEVER gets out of prison

That is so weird, because I could have sworn that she died in prison sometime within the past ten years or so. I even remember what I thought upon hearing about her death. I have no idea where that memory came from, but until reading this comment and looking it up, I would have bet money on it. 😳

In Texas, they don't mess around with that.

@@devinreis5811 and Saldivar committed a sin when she murdered a Texas favorite. My guess is there’s people already planning protests against her being paroled

That' s a unique idea 🙂

Yes, Somewhow her family killed that little girl, I think the older brother or mom was jeolous and they covered it up

@michaeledwards5316 im just saying Patsy def wrote that note

​@jaclynsanture6643 I've met the brother, he stayed at the hotel I work at, he was very weird/creepy

There's a very good video on that case on the Casual Criminalist

the Ramsey family was cleared by DNA in 2008 there was unknown male DNA did not belong to a family member or friend of the family but go ahead blame a dead woman and a father still looking for answers . There was even this guy who is in Prison now a known pedo who says he did it and his friend called the Boulder Police 2 days after the murder to report that a friend of his had confessed to the murder of Jonbenet I do not know if he was the one but it got ignored they were so hell bent on framing the family even the 8 year old brother that girl was not beaten with no toy or hairbrush her little skull was split in 2 like a coconut and that is not even what killed her she was garotted as for it being being the mother's paint brush that happens more often than people think killers use weapons they find in the home his intent may not originally have been to kill her but he had to get rid of her as a witness it was likely a seasoned sex offender pervert who was stalking her and stalking the house and when they were out that night at the Christmas Party he creeped into the house hid in the basement he had plenty of time to write that long rambling note and he waited for them to come home and then to go to bed and he struck he sexuallly assaulted her and somehow fractured her little skull maybe in a struggle maybe she tried to fight or cry out and he hit her with the flashlight or whatever and then he realized that had not killed her so he fashioned the garotte and put it around her little neck and squeezed or somehow applied enough force to end her life . the parents did not do this and no the brother did not kill her with no damn toy you people are deluded this child was brutalized and it was done by a hardened criminal predator not a kid who adored his sister and not her mother with no prior history of abusing the girl in a rage over the girl wetting the bed that is freaking ridiculous but those are 2 theories the Boulder PD threw at the wall to see which would stick neither did spoiler alert I just thank god there are actual smart people working on the case still

Yes, I have a coworker who is studying this crime, She and I agree it her brother, because he or the mom was possibly jeoulous of the little girl

They were cleared by DNA

JonBenét**

that's true, but he was already deep into that rabbit hole. It just reinforced what he already believed. He was selling copies of The Turner Diaries and Behold a Pale Horse at gun shows before Waco.

That happened 1989.... The court case was in 1993

I remember a Watchmojo video about the Menendez Brothers but the list included a Mark Jackson basketball card. Top 10 Photos With Disturbing Backstories

my guess is because no one other than the bad guys died
