The most morbid way i heard about was in the news, when i lived in Brasil. Store owners used to pay police officers to get rid of the homeless disturbing their business in Rio de Janeiro.

Carried out at night, organized & stealthy, most victims were kids.

I don't remember if someone really went to jail for this. That was in the 80s, like 20 years ago.

1980 was 43 years ago :P

Noooo! All of the 90s were 10 years ago and always will be, so it follows that the 80s were 20 years ago!
