I go to my local chinese food place about 2-3 times a week, I'm pretty good friends with the owner. Yesterday I went in for lunch and the owner was acting really weird and standoffish while usually we're on pretty good terms. I asked him what was wrong and eventually he told me to "leave and never come back". I pushed him a little more while I was waiting for my order because he seemed nervous or guilty and he told me that the Chinese mafia in the area have been putting the squeeze or w/e on local businesses and to intimidate them they left a cake outside the shop overnight. Inside the cake was a scroll with a list of all the store's most frequent customers' full names and addresses, and I was near the top of the list.

I am seriously freaking the gently caress out right now and I have no idea what to even do or what my recourse is. I'm a non-violent person and I've never owned any guns but I'm really close to picking up a rifle at Wal-Mart and taking vacation time from work to lay low for a few weeks. Should I go to the police? What could they even do? I'm loving terrified.

How do you know the cake was meant to intimidate? Maybe they were just congratulating them on their success and wanted them to share the cake with you.

he appreciates your constant business but at this point he's feeling less like a restaurateur and more like someone providing assisted suicide

Just in case they do come after you, leave a pile of doughnut holes on your doorstep. It will surely intimidate them into leaving you alone. Doughnut holes are much more intimidating than a cake.

Why the gently caress is the Chinese Mafia (TM) present in a place where you can buy a gun from Wal-Mart? This geographic location does not seem to make sense.

Let me get this straight. This 'mafia' is trying to collect money from the owner for possibly a loan or something, who knows; so they think their best bet in getting their money is by scaring away the dude's source of income? And from what everybody already knows, a very large source of income. If they want the money from this guy, they're doing it poorly, and if they've already basically given up and decided they're just going to kill this man.... they're doing it poorly.
