@araucaria.....I have never claimed that everyone with a criminal last name is dodgy.......
but there is definetly something going on here.......
my best guess is that people with "swamp" last names are more easily open to possession by evil spirits.......
I've been looking into this idea for over 30 years......and I am no longer suprised when
the idea proves to be correct......
The best case is convicted murderers with the middle name "Wayne".....
