http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Murder%2C_Inc.
"Murder, Inc., Murder Incorporated or Brownsville Boys, was the name given by the press for an organized crime group in the 1930s and 1940s that carried out hundreds of murders on behalf of the mob.

History
Murder, Inc. was established after the formation of the commission of the "national combination", to which it was responsible. Largely headed by former Bug and Meyer Mob enforcers, it also had members from the labor-slugging gang of Louis "Lepke" Buchalter (who partnered with Tommy Lucchese) as well as from another group of enforcers from Brownsville, Brooklyn, New York, of the late 1920s led by Martin "Buggsy" Goldstein and Abe "Kid Twist" Reles.
...
Most of the killers were Jewish and Italian gangsters from the gangs of the Brooklyn neighborhoods of Brownsville, East New York and Ocean Hill. In addition to crime in New York City and acting as enforcers for New York mobster "Lepke" Buchalter, they accepted murder contracts from mob bosses all around the United States.
...
Notable members of the gang included Abe "Kid Twist" Reles, Frank "Dasher" Abbandando, Louis Capone, Martin "Buggsy" Goldstein, Harry "Happy" Maione, Harry "Pittsburgh Phil" Strauss, Allie Tannenbaum, Seymour "Blue Jaw" Magoon, and Charles "Charlie the Bug" Workman.

In South Africa we've got them all...Russians, Israelis, Italians, Chinese, Japanese, Nigerians, and, of course, South Africans of every extraction. The most feared local criminal organisations are the Number gangs: http://www.csvr.org.za/papers/papjonny.htm

only the first two posts and BdN's post were closely on-topic.
the "Twins" post wondered (without stating) how one twin could be born in 1921 and the other in 1923.
the "people should be fired" was a generic response to BdN's post and to the general thread topic as influenced by BdN's post.
Originally posted by zeeblebotI appreciate you clarifying the point. But I don't think the fact that people of all races commit crime is much of a shock to anyone. And I don't know that anyone but the hopelessly ignorant would make the case that any race is genetically inferior.
ok ...
"Look!", a whole bunch of hardened criminals and not one genetically african-american in the bunch!
where goes from here, the article of faith that blacks are genetically inferior?
