Looting is very cool actually
It is if you're an edgy tween with no serious world experiences or social context.
Convincing people that looting is happening on any real scale (it’s 99% people escaping evacuation zones or returning to their burnt up homes) is going to get someone fucking shot, just like it did during Katrina.
Depends on the target. Stores? Probably fine. Sticking to chains instead of local shops would be cooler, though. People's homes? Nah. That's shitty. Taking advantage of people in an emergency is some CEO level mentality.
If you're looting TVs, you're making the evacuation worse, but I don't care if you're just grabbing food or supplies. I'd absolutely break some windows if I needed jumper cables for instance.
what if the home belongs to a uhc executive?
If you're researching your looting, I'm pretty sure you're doing it wrong.
At that point it's just burglary with extra steps
Facts
lol thank you
World needs your codswallop bro
I know techbro. I know cryptobro. What's a coswallopbro?
A bunch of rich people's houses also burned though
Altadena--where the images of the "looting" are coming from--is not Pacific Palisades. Living in LA county doesn't mean you're rich, and most people in Altadena weren't.
It's a racially diverse neighborhood that historically wasn't redlined, representing one of the few areas in LA where black families were able to build equity instead of perpetually renting. It's not an accident that these ghouls are showing black people fleeing from their homes with what they can carry and calling it looting, and it's going to get people fucking killed.
Yes, american media's major purpose is to be a racist bias confirmation machine. Doesn't change the fact that looting is cool and good.
If you see someone you think is looting, no you didn't.
You don’t have to accept the racist conservative lie that looting is happening, actually.
Well, it should be.
Easy to fall into a "this person looks richer than me" justification with that one. Anything below a super-mansion should just be considered off limits for anyone with a conscience.
Sounds good to me.
