(AP) -- Authorities say firefighters in a far western Tennessee city let a mobile home burn down because the owner didn't pay a $75 yearly fee for fire protection. Jeff Vowell, city manager of South Fulton, told the Union City Daily Messenger that the city fire department let Gene Cranick's doublewide trailer home burn last week because he didn't pay the subscription common in many rural areas. Cranick's home is outside city limits, but South Fulton offers fire protection to nearby residents for a fee and did protect a neighboring house that paid. Police say Cranick's son was so angry he later went to the fire house and punched the chief. City officials didn't return calls and a message left at a phone listing for Gene Cranick was not immediately returned. --- Information from: Union City Daily Messenger, www.ucmessenger.com Click for Full Text!

Gangsters did this in the 20's-30's too, it was called "Extortion", or, "Protection Money"... Extortion, outwresting, and/or exaction is a criminal offense which occurs when a person unlawfully obtains either money, property or services from a person (s), entity, or institution, through coercion. Refraining from doing harm is sometimes euphemistically called protection. Extortion is commonly practiced by organized crime groups. It is also often used loosely to refer to everyday situations where one person feels indebted against their will, to another, in order to receive an essential service or avoid legal consequences. For example, certain lawsuits, fees for services such as banking, automobile insurance, gasoline prices, and even taxation, have all been labeled "legalized extortion" by people with various social or political beliefs. Neither extortion nor blackmail require a threat of a criminal act, such as violence, merely a threat used to elicit actions, money, or property from the object of the extortion.

Not all that different from the days when firefighting was the function of insurance providers. lucysmom  posted on  2010-10-05 15:35:32 ET  Reply   Untrace   Trace   Private Reply   End Trace Mode for Comment # 4.
