Playing Devil’s Advocate here. I think her goal is to make these stores go away, not make them easier to rob. By eliminating the barriers, she’s hoping they’ll close. She, rightly or wrongly, sees them as a blight on her community.

I think you're right. Looking into it, it appears that these businesses skirt various zoning and licensing laws by operating in a gray area where they're not really a bar, but not really a restaurant either. They are primarily in the business of selling cheap 40 oz. cans of high-alcohol malt liquor to black men and she's trying to drive them out.

“They are primarily in the business of selling cheap 40 oz. cans of high-alcohol malt liquor to black men and she’s trying to drive them out.“

So.....these black men will now have to go farther afield to get their malt liquor?
