When I was in high school (during the 80s, in St. Louis, Missouri), I had a teacher that was essentially a slumlord. He once told us about how he provided free rent to a house full of bikers, like a biker gang, in exchange for "property management services", mostly forced evictions. He told one story that I wish I could forget: a Black family moved next-door to one of his rental units. He sent the bikers over there to intimidate them into leaving. The bikers burned the house down; a child died in the fire. No one went to jail. I just remember our teacher talking about this like it was no biggie.
