    It’s rampant in my city. They shoot out the windows of your business at night. Only certain businesses get targeted and the media hardly reports any of it. But, here’s an example of one that made the news 2nd arrest made in alleged shootings at GTA movie theatres

    There was a similar shooting at a business a few addresses down from my work last week.

      An Ontario film distributor has alleged that the shootings are linked to an intimidation campaign by other film distributors to prevent popular South Indian movies from appearing in large chains.

      Guy who distributes Indian movies claims attacks on random movie theaters are to prevent his movies from being watched…

      I didn’t search very hard, but I can’t find a single other source for that being a thing.

      Even if it was, that’s basically the opposite of a protection racket. You get that right?
