After looking at the video, it seems to me that they may be seeking a "donation" or protection money to prevent such visits in the future.

If they really wanted the store GONE they would have destroyed the entire stock, and probably assaulted the storeowner.

I think they figure other Oakland liquor stores will gladly pay a tribute, now.

NOI is nothing but front for a criminal enterprise, especially when you consider their alliance with those other frauds: Jesse and Al. If the US had any backbone they would all be investigated for RICO violations, but the fear of being called RACIST prevents that.

One more reason to legalize all drugs. Smurf the religious fools! Lets *really* p.o. the Islamics! Lets legalize prostitution while we are it it!

Lets really show the world what a truly free people can do!

Either they come back and get protection money or they open their own liquor store and control the market.
Follow the money

I agree- it looked like a classic organized crime shakedown to me.
