Nikolas Cruz (b. 1998)
Thomas Rousseau (b. 1998) neo-nazi group founder

Danielle Bregoli (b. 2003) not allowed; female rapper

Generation Z:
Kaia James (b. 2006) not allowed; very fine idealistic champion

mass murderers need no comment.

The list is predominantly American, but not exclusively so. Probably there's a lot more non-american bad apples.

Good idea though. You made some wrong choices, but it's fair to point out bad apples.

I believe that XXXTentacion has done violence against a pregnant woman and had absolutely no remorse of it.
Trippie Redd was a Blood.
Danielle Bregoli stole her mother's credit card, stole a car, and had behavior on Dr. Phil that made her infamous.
Varg Vikernes burnt down four churches as well.
Rachel Dolezal has done welfare fraud and lied about her race.
Inna Shevchenko's group, FEMEN, is notorious for their nude protests that sometimes escalated into violence.
Louis Farrakhan is very notorious for his racism and openly calls for violence against white people. He is basically the black version of David Duke.
Cory Booker has called for violence against the Paul family (Rand Paul and Kelly Paul).
Linda Sarsour is a vitriolic anti-Semite.
Black Panther Party is basically a black version of the KKK or any alt-right group (League of the South, Vanguard America, Identity Evropa, etc).
Hillary Clinton had that e-mail controversy.
Maxine Waters openly encourages violence and harassment towards her political opponents.
I probably should have not added Kaia James, but I have a feeling that she will eventually end up like Anita Sarkeesian as she gets older.

Thanks for your clarifications. It's a matter of comparing people who did a few wrong things with mass murderers, I guess, but bad apples are what you decide they are, I guess. If they have some spots, the grocer throws them out. It would be wise to check out XXXTentacion before including him on this list.

Of course Hillary Clinton email scandal was a non-scandal. Maxine gets riled up, but nothing she said has resulted in violence. Same with Booker. The notions of the Black Panthers tend to be gross exaggerations.
