Syrian Owned Liquor Stores Targeting Black Citizens with Illegal Activity in Violation of State AND Federal Laws
Comments: *
For the past six months, I have conducted an undercover sting operation in which I have witnessed these loosies being
sold. I have even purchased them myself and secured both audiolvideo evidence of the transactions. It Is happening
over a significant geographic area at multiple stores.
What stuns me most Is that the proprietors make no attempt to hide it. Their own video surveillance Indicts them and
they do It from the time they open, until the time they close. Clearly they have no regard for the people they are
poisoning, the law or any fear of being held accountable. Yet, Mr. Garner was killed for, allegedly, doing the same thing.
Not only are these "persecuted" thugs violating State Law by selling the prohibited, illegal contraband, they are violating
multiple federal laws. In fact, they may be flirting with RICO violations. Given that the cigarettes are illegal in the state,
that means they are being acquired out of state. Since cigarettes are classified as a drug, that means interstate transport
of a controlled substance; also known as drug trafficking.
The sale ortransporting of controlled substances Is a felony offense in California. HSC §11352 sets the basic penaltyfor
conviction at three, four, or five years in prison.
The average price for a pack of cigarettes in California Is about $12. The Syrian cartel sells the regular loosie cigarettes
Ithe kind white boys smoke) for seventy-five cents to a dollar apiece. They sell the Newport's for two -dollars apiece.
Math translation: S40.1)p a pack; on top of killing the exploited.
