Looting is very cool actually
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.
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.
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.
If you’re researching your looting, I’m pretty sure you’re doing it wrong.
