Robert A. Rockaway - The Notorious Purple Gang: Detroit's All-Jewish
Prohibition Era Mob -
Tel-Aviv University Abstract:
During Prohibition (1920-1933), Jewish gangsters became major operatives in
the American underworld and played prominent roles in the creation and
extension of organized crime in the United States. At the time, Jewish gangs
dominated illicit activities in a number of America's largest cities,
including Cleveland, Detroit, Minneapolis, Newark, New York, and
Philadelphia. One of the more notorious of these all-Jewish mobs was
Detroit's Purple Gang. The gang dealt in bootlegging, gambling, extortion,
drugs, and murder, and developed a reputation for being more ruthless than
Al Capone's mob in Chicago. The Purple's decade-long reign of terror ended
when most of the gang's members either went to prison or were murdered by
rivals. After World War I, Jewish gangsters became major operatives in the
American underworld and played prominent roles in the creation and extension
of organized crime in the United States. During the Prohibition era
(1919-1933) 50 percent of the country's leading bootleggers were Jews, and

traffic. Jewish gangs also dominated...

Is it 1919 to 1933 or 1920 to 1933? You have confused me here on your
prohibition era estimate, or did I miss something? I do believe it was
during the 1920s and 30s. By the way this isn't a flame, I'm just
trying to get the facts straight.

If you insist on replying to almost every post here, OT and otherwise, at
least strip the crosspost addresses when you do. You bitched and scolded us
about that very thing in your last batch of posts.
As for Prohibition, it should have been simple for you to Google it up
instead of making yourself look ignorant by questioning a posters facts
without any grasp of the facts yourself. You want to get the facts
straight? Go look them up.

Sarge is the village idiot.
In addition to being practically illiterate, he's stupid, ignorant and a
complete jackass.
I used to find his posts ironically amusing but have since consigned him
to kill-file oblivion and there he shall stay.

RWF go away, no one cares about your fucking opinion! And to Bruce I
apologize. I didn't relise I was replying to the other groups and I
see where I made the mistake now.

No need for an apology. I just thought it ironic that you would reply to an
OT post without removing the non-RCC addresses right after scolding people
here for feeding these cross-posting trolls.

Arnold Rothstein was the Moses of the Jewish >gangsters
I'd just like to say that Arnold Rothstein was filthy, crooked Jew bastard
that was responsible for the Black Sox throwing the 1919 World Series.
Did you know that when they want to take a census in Israel, all they have
to do is roll a quarter down the street?
RWF
Right, no need to apologize Sarge, we all know you are a moron, a
functional illiterate and a buffoon.
Clearly YOU care about my "fucking" opinion, you twerp.
