Surely, there are some very nice guys with the middle name “Wayne”, but it seems like this name is often linked with very bizarre and notorious violent incidents:
John Wayne Gacy, infamous part-time clown, serial killer and child molestor
John Wayne Bobbitt, wife severed a certain piece of his anatomy, alleging he abused her
Robin Wayne Martin, convicted of raping a 12 year old girl after abducting her from Sunday school
Damien Wayne Echols, convicted of the brutal murders of three boys and on death row in Arkansas (Echols is one of the “West Memphis Three”, and his conviction resulted from the admission of improper evidence and the testimony of an expert whom no rational judge would have qualified as an expert. It was basically a 20th century version of the Salem witch trials.)
