Dead Rabbits Bubble-free stickers

The Dead Rabbits were a notorious Irish-American street gang that roamed Lower Manhattan’s Five Points neighborhood from the 1830s to the 1850s, embodying the gritty underbelly of 19th-century New York. Legend has it they earned their name when a dead rabbit was flung into a meeting of the Roach Guards, prompting a splinter group to adopt the symbol—a dead rabbit impaled on a pike—as their battle standard. Comprised largely of Irish immigrants fleeing the Great Famine, they clashed fiercely with nativist gangs like the Bowery Boys, who despised their Catholic roots, in a rivalry that fueled over 200 violent skirmishes across a decade. Beyond street brawls, the Dead Rabbits wielded political muscle, backing Tammany Hall and its pro-immigrant candidates, often strong-arming voters under leaders like Isaiah Rynders. Their infamy peaked during the 1857 Dead Rabbits Riot, a chaotic two-day clash that left at least eight dead and showcased their ability to overwhelm even the city’s fractured police forces—though some historians, like Tyler Anbinder, argue the gang’s existence might be more myth than fact, possibly a misnomer for the Roach Guards.
