#1 There are alot of men who are not FOI yet go around in groups dressing in 1963 style black suits threatening folks and getting their violent rage thing on. "These individuals we do not know."

#2 As for the Oakland police, the Black Muslim leader had some harsh words.

Say it isn't so.

#3 Could be the store owner torching his own place. It's happened before, and now would be a perfect opportunity.

#4 Not everyone's as devious as you, mojo, lol. I'm sure CSI:Oakland will find the firebug. From my observations, I reckon they can solve almost anything in an hour. Two max.

#5 .com, just in time for the February sweeps, a very special episode of CSI: Oakland. The investigation centers around a mystery string of vandalism and arson in Oakland's red light district, when the evidence gleaned from surveillance video and eyewitness interviews unfailingly points to the real perpetrators...the Lions Club.

#7 Guys wearing neckties? Hey, it could have some renegade Mormons. Those blokes hate alcohol too. Perfect suspects, right? Right?

In fact its so old, and so common, its a joke.

"Seymour, i heard about the fire at your liquor store, Im so sorry for you"

#10 For each pint of the lovely stout wasted I'd inflict 15 blows from the hurley stick right on the perp's face. bright red and mushy pink go very good with black and white clothes. The texture contrasts are striking.

#11 The "hurley stick" it is, followed by 5 rounds with Russell Crowe! Lifting my mug, a toast - "to our wives and sweethearts, may they never meet!"

#14 First of all, it's Oakland. DOn't wxpect it to be solved. Crime usually isn't solved there. Even murders.

It could be anything from a Berkeley fraternity hazing to the start of the NOI Chapter of Al Qaeda.

Also, they aren't just Arabs, they are Yemeni Arabs. 80% of the liquor stores in Oakland are Yemeni Arab. Possibly these guys are friends of someone killed off the USS Cole.

If they are just after vice, there is low hanging fruit all over Oakland. Street prostitution, open drug markets, etc.

#15 open drug markets

You mean that long line I saw downtown wasn't for a soup kitchen?

Yeah, the Mormons have a temple just up the hill. Coulda been them.

There are alot of men who are not FOI yet go around in groups dressing in 1963 style black suits threatening folks and getting their violent rage thing on.

When I drive down MacArthur Boulevard there are so many MIB, I some times think they're having Malcolm X look-a-like contests.
