How Mafia of Them
by Kaveh Nouraee on Mon Jan 05, 2009 01:32 PM PSTSounds a lot like when the local Mafia don or caporegime would send a couple of guys from the street crew to harass and vandalize, then offer "protection services" to shopkeepers and merchants in the neighborhood.
For a nominal fee, of course. Except they called it "tribute".
