Thug / thugee

Used quite a bit in reference to gangsters in the 20s and 30s, which were typically northeastern white immigrants.

Also derived from India / Pakistan.

African-American ‘community-organizers’ have relatively recently been identified with the descriptor.

I rather like the term “community organizer” to describe the people who burn down their neighborhoods.

It kind of fits in a perverse sort of way.
