The notorious Mark "Chopper" Reid has been popping up round the streets of Melbourne lately. Anyone who knows anything about this versatile Aussie gangster knows that it is not necessarily a good thing.

Chopper hits headlines semi-frequently. He was arrested this week after getting in a fight on an inner city Collingwood street with a man wielding a tomahawk.
