The ‘L’ Word
Experts caution use of ‘looting’ in describing rash of Bay Area smash and grabs
The author of this tripe is introduced as the “RACE AND SOCIAL JUSTICE REPORTER” so there’s your first clue that you’re about to expose yourself to some more woke stupidity.
Looting is when people steal other people’s stuff, as much stuff as they can and from as many different sources as possible. The difference between looting and regular theft is that looting is done when the looters are sure they’re going to get away with it – sure enough that they’re willing to do it on large scale in broad daylight in front of cameras and under the noses of the people from whom they’re stealing. That surety is the result of the absence of active law enforcement; whether that absence is due to disaster or wokeness.
When city leaders, councils, committees and police officials make policies and announcements that theft and violence are to be tolerated – as is the case in multiple blue-state democrat-run wokeholes – they have created the very conditions and environs in which people believe they can get away with stealing whatever they want. They catalyze looting.
And then they want us to not call it looting – because (like everything else) that’s racist.
Well, lemme whisper something into the mike here Brandon: white people loot too. So when you equate the use of the word looting to racism, saying “Looting is a term that we typically use when people of color or urban dwellers are doing something” aren’t you the one that’s making a connection between race and behavior?
To paraphrase an old paraphrase : Dont piss down your own back and tell me not to call it piss.
