Similarly to the tobacconists getting firebombed, the extreme taxes on liquor are making it profitable for gangs and black marketeers to get in on the action. I've also heard rumors that shifty people were showing up to clubs and suggesting the owners buy their cut price, no-label liquor. Some of those that didn't buy the grog got burned later, so others are buying the untaxed sly grog just in case.So while Melbourne is normally pretty shit and dodgy these night time shenanigans of entertainment venues randomly being firebombed and peppered with bullets is getting a bit concerning.
Is it alcohol related? Is it some crazed Iraqi gang implementing Sharia law type punishment? Is it standover tactics?
