What occurs to me about all these firebombings is that these are fights over protection money, which means many businesses must be paying out, which means we’re all paying out.

Oh yes that’s totally factored in. And was for the public works projects like roads, too, with a certain % going to the mob. Although hopefully with the anticorruption unit and greater public scrutiny that has stopped.

The Gazette has some thoughts from crime specialist Maria Mourani, but with all respect to her academic chops, she doesn’t suggest any reasons beyond what most of us would surmise: either a protection racket, or else a plan to intimidate competing businesses or business owners who appear loyal to rival factions, in an effort to make them give up or move away.
