11-28) 11:46 PST OAKLAND -- An early morning fire gutted one of two convenience stores where a group of men in suits and bow ties trashed merchandise last week while denouncing the merchants for selling alcohol to African Americans.

The fire at the New York Market at 3446 Market St. was reported at 1:19 a.m. today and was contained within about 15 minutes, authorities said.

Oakland police are investigating whether the fire was arson, said police spokeswoman Officer Danielle Bowman.

"However, it is too early to tell whether or not it is related to last week's vandalism," she said.

One fire official said flame accelerant had been detected at the fire site.

The race and religion of the racketeers played a factor in why they targeted this particular business owner/location.

Political correctness is killing us.

Why do I suspect if the owner were there, he'd have been decapitated?

Imagine the firestorm if the merchant had refused to sell to black people.
