Script
Did you know that in the 19th century, New York City was a hotbed of gang violence, with groups like the Bowery Boys and the Dead Rabbits ruling the streets? These rival gangs clashed in epic battles, with the Bowery Boys, known for their flashy clothing and love of street fights, facing off against the Dead Rabbits, a mostly Irish-American gang infamous for their brutality. One famous brawl, the Dead Rabbits Riot, lasted for three days in 1857 and required the state militia to intervene. Who knew GTA-style gang wars had such historic roots?
