STOP Poisoning the 'Hood
Well-Dressed Gang Terrorizes Oakland Liquor Stores
Clad in dark suits and bow ties, a gang of vandals strolled into two Oakland corner liquor stores late Wednesday night and then unleashed a violent attack, terrorizing the clerks, smashing displays and coolers with iron pipes.
The brazen attacks were captured on videotape and thieves seemed not to care that their pictures were being recorded as they looked right into the cameras.
The men strolled into the stores, walked around a while and then turned on the clerks telling them to -- "stop poisoning our neighborhoods." Then the violence turned to the liquor bottles and cans stocked both on shelves and in the coolers.
I have watched this video many times. I do not see any 'white boys' in the 'gang'. Islam forbids liquor. Oakland has a huge Muslim population. Nobody has made this connection YET. These incidents are borne of Islam. Mark my words.

Well-Dressed Gang Terrorizes Oakland Liquor Stores
OAKLAND -- Clad in dark suits and bow ties, a gang of vandals strolled into two Oakland corner liquor stores late Wednesday night and then unleashed a violent attack, terrorizing the clerks, smashing displays and coolers with iron pipes.
The brazen attacks were captured on videotape and thieves seemed not to care that their pictures were being recorded as they looked right into the cameras.
Oakland police have begun a search for the gang of 8-12 young men. But for one clerk, those terrifying moments will not soon be forgotten.
"They just jumped on me -- started punching me," the clerk told KTVU not wanting to give his identity.
"But when you come with baseball bats, and I don't know if you got guns because you have your hands in your pockets… breaking our store apart… it took hard work, we are here 18 hours a day… working here to establish a business to feed our families, and they do this to us, it's not fair."
The clerk said his family was in the back room, waiting for him to close down the store so they could travel to a relative's home for Thanksgiving. He said the violent attack has traumatized his children.
The attacks began around 11:30 a.m. with two stores targeted -- one at 34th and Market and the other -- San Pablo Liquor Market on 23rd and San Pablo Ave.
The men strolled into the stores, walked around a while and then turned on the clerks telling them to -- "stop poisoning our neighborhoods." Then the violence turned to the liquor bottles and cans stocked both on shelves and in the coolers.
There was no immediate estimate on damages and no serious injuries were reported.
What, you think they wont go an extra block to buy a fifth of 'juice'? Dopes.

Yep. We may never collectively admit it, being paralyzed by political correctness, but, still, yep.

Where'd you get that grainy photo of screwy Louie?
Surely this gang isn't trying to give that fashion faux pas legs? On the other hand, if they are, that's not such a bad thing. Now I know what to look for.
Cheers,

We are not the French. LAPD is one of the best in the nation - trained by NYC. No one thinks for one second anyone will put up with this crap... do you? I don't think so. The nice thing about our country is that a criminal is a criminal - no matter religion, race, or what kind of stupid suit he's wearing.
