I'd like to see a Jewish gang. Are there any?

russian mafia perhaps?

...and it saddens me.

I thought the Jewish gangsters did a lot of work with the Italian mafia but they just aren't made men. I guess I've watched Casino one time too many though, LoL!

clogan8307, you are right, there were plenty of jewish mobsters that were involved with "The Commission" better known as the Five Families of new york. Myer Lansky was one of the most powerful jewish mobsters in the history of organized crime. the character you saw Deniro play in Casino was based off of Frank "Lefty" Rosenthal who was connected to the Chicago Outfit.

I only know of some Jewish graffiti crews. Some members are what they call tag-bangers, but they're mostly in it for the renegade art and subsequent fame (and the pussy that comes with it).
