Thats true, TD. Because sometimes the color red lent to the physical description of them. They often had lighter, sometimes red-ruddy complexion, red hair, and so forth, etc. Same with Irish hoodlums who had that complexion.

And, of course, other times, it was to describe their "stock in trade" - murder!
