At first I thought this was a parody of news media outlooks. However, once I saw the article [ABC News] I realized it was not a spoof; it’s very real.
The San Francisco news desk of ABC7 actually has a position called “race and social justice reporter” who claims the term “looting” is a politically and culturally incorrect way to describe the looting that has been taking place over the past several days. However, I’m not exactly sure of the journalist’s qualifications for reporting, because he also claims not to be able to see the race of the people doing the actual looting. WATCH:
… In order for the ideological leftists to continue advancing their insane ideology, they have to pretend not to know things. Race and social justice reporter Julian Glover is certainly proving that point by pretending not to see who is doing the robberies.
Ok, let’s just call them “decedents”.
Holiday Shoppers…..
Personal shoppers…..
Imagine that, so the word “looters” is a lot like the words, “massive, voter, fraud.”
Did these reporters not even look up the word looting in their dictionary??
For the color blind woke press, they associate looting with BLM. “PC is tyranny with a happy face”– Charleton Heston
The Left is trying to de-negro-fy crime
— 1984-style language control so we can’t refer to looting as looting
— Media control so no one can point out who’s doing the looting (rioting, arson, knockout attacks, attacks on elderly Asians you name it)
— No-fault shoplifting laws so they don’t get apprehended in the first place
— No bail so they can be set free right away if apprehended
— Soroos prosecutors so they can decline to prosecute if apprehended
— Lenient sentences if they are apprehended and sentenced
— Tlaib-encouraged ‘prison reform’ to release them on the back end if they do get apprehended and imprisoned
It’s “Olly Olly All Negros go free’ at every step
Those are my words
Here are some words that aren’t mine
“You cannot take any people, of any color, and exempt them from the requirements of civilization — including work, behavioral standards, personal responsibility, and all the other basic things that the clever intelligentsia disdain — without ruinous consequences to them and to society at large.”
— Thomas Sowell
They are trying to play with Semantics; Whether you use the word Looters or Stealing Goods from (a place) typically during a war or riot. It is still Thievery .
Another example of the definition is when “desperate residents, looted shops for food and water” because they are hungry and thirsty does not give them the right to Steal.
Either way it is Theft, it is illegal and they must be charged with Larceny… They are also making up their own dictionary
Maybe the label THUGS should be recycled. The media has largely succeeded in banning that term or at least in portraying anyone who uses it as a white supremacist.

Tragic situation, enormous societal cowardice

Nice one!
Destroy history, destroy culture, destroy language, destroy religion, destroy family, destroy intellect. All they do is DESTROY.
Yeah, a TV commentator I saw today said exactly that about the Left in general
Equating it to the Marxist method for tearing down the existing order
A quick google search of “zombietime up your alley fair” 2008 or 2015 will illustrate exactly what the residents of San Francisco value. The entire city needs to get smoked by God via meteor or hellfire drop. It’s literally Sodom & Gomorrah.
I’d prefer a very fast virus so the beautiful architecture survives.

Good idea, do some rezoning! Halfway houses, residential drug rehab centers, food banks and title loan companies!!!
How about a strip mall next to the methadone clinic full of plastic surgeons who take Medicaid?
Mike van, you’re the man… great idea!
So the word looting is culturally incorrect? Alright then. How about thievery, by non whites.
I’ll bet the store owners victimized by the hordes of thieves aren’t amused at all by the extreme PC antics from the media.
are these megacorporations?
(looking for migrant employees to be shipped from quarantine camp to quarantine camp across the world?
I guess some of them are part of multinational corporations.
Does that matter, from a law and order perspective? I hope not.
“Thou shalt not steal”, doesn’t have any qualifiers in it.
true.
just think that a true small business would resist this looting more. i think the megacorps encourage it because they can write it off as losses versus having to truly sell their stuff
The insurance may even pay more per item (above sale price).
Any size business can write off losses on their tax returns. They can all carry insurance. Coverage is directly related to cost. Most companies will have a high deductible or carry only catastrophic insurance in order to manage cost.
I think the insurance companies are probably not tolerating repeated claims from city businesses who get hit by these riots.
I read an article recently that claimed the insurance companies are all in bad shape since the COVID crap and riots from last year. That will be reflected in big rate increases.
Why would any store stay there? Do they need tax write-offs that badly? For most, their insurance doesn’t cover insurrection or civil disobedience.
That is correct. But it depends on the particular policy and premium cost the business is wiling to afford.
Blacks are 13% of the American population. But Blacks commit 58% of murders in America. In any other country, if an easily identifiable group that comprised only 13% of the population was committing 58% of the country’s murders, there would be a national outcry to discover WHY this was taking place and to IMMEDIATELY take action to stop it. Poverty, discrimination, racism, blah blah blah. None of it accounts for it, since immigrant Blacks from Africa and the Caribbean work hard, get ahead, and don’t participate in the carnage.
We know. We all know. It is becoming increasingly difficult to ignore that the problem lies within the Black American Culture. It is a culture that encourages and rewards ignorance, promiscuity, illegitimacy, lack of impulse control, and violence. Generations of absent fathers, and 30 year old baby-momma grandmothers with five kids from five different fathers, none of whom have ever been married or had a job, may have something to do with it.
Black young men between the ages of yada and yada yada are 4% of the American population but commit your 58% of murders and overwhelming proportions of other violent crimes in America
Just to say, it’s a more specifically identifiable problem than what your first statistic intimates
It’s a certain segment of Black American Culture, plenty of normal Americans that are black around as we all know. I feel bad for regular black folk and hope they don’t feel responsible for the thug element. I think there is a lack of conscience and a lack of God in their lives to develop it. That and being fed they are helpless victims even if they are doing it to themselves. I think they believe they deserve any unearned rewards.
Now, I do think black people have been discriminated against and I’ve read some bad stories at times of unfairness to persecution. However, I believe most of that is in the past as opposed to today. There’s nothing holding anybody back now if they really wanted to succeed or at least live a life out of poverty.
Honestly, I think when they started in with the gangsta rap, it really reinforced people trying to live up to it as opposed to things like Motown and R & B. Training themselves to have complete apathy, and that dead look in their eyes that they think is so powerful. Keepin’ it real.
The degenerative nature of rap is why the Marxists worked so hard to promote and glorify it.
The 58% number is grossly under the reality.
Our inability to accurately report on black crime is longstanding, with so many “free passes”, now being institutionalied.
It just keeps getting worse as it is tolerated, coddled and ignored.
Commie educrats are part of the problem as well as the welfare subsidies.
They’ve perfected fudging the numbers.
Just like we have no idea how many illegals are in the country.
I’m sure they’ll circle back to us.
“All of them”
We also know that those who get out of these communities and those of color who fight this cultural rot are accused of being racist, oreos, betraying their people, etc… There is nothing inherent to the race that causes this and anyone who rejects it can succeed. There are many who try to change and uplift, but they are not given a voice in the same way the race hustlers are.
It’s a pretty sticky way to describe the situation. While it’s all true, it doesn’t mean what most people think it means.
For example, does the data support this “universally”? And how about how this has varied over time? I don’t blame “black people” or the state of being black. What I believe is ALL people can be brutal under the right circumstances. Look at Russians under the Soviet Union. Look at anything “brown shirts” or the like.
The Democrat party has largely created this problem and they continue to do so knowingly.
Any person can be good but it has to be worked at. It’s not a state of being, it’s a path to follow.
By ‘universally’ do you mean ‘around the world’?
Most of us here aren’t incriminating blacks as a race, we’re talking about a particular and very specific cultural, behavioral, and criminal pathology among a subset of American blacks
Tell it like it is. Truer than the gospels and the more they get and destroy the more society looks the other way. They already have black privilege and have for 50 years.
When an invader takes a beseiged city they sack it, rather than loot it, but somehow sacking doesn’t have the right ring for this. Stick to looting, it’s gentler.
if not looting, then what does “sacking” entail?
putting stuff in sacks?
Sacks, carts, tied up slaves etc.
Burning, Looting, Murdering.
Sumpin like dat.
How about pillaging!
Nutz. You beat me to it!
“an act or action of plundering or vanquishing”
The term goes back to the 1500s.
These knotheads have too much time on their hands. And, obviously, no one who is anywhere near normal should ever talk to them because they have turned the business of communication into such a laborious thing as to be totally meaningless….until the right person blesses it and says it was done correctly.
They either need to get out more or stop going anywhere at all. Ever.
All right, sick and tired of them trying to come up with a new term for things because of a build up of a reputation. I don’t know if we’re missing news articles of other racial groups looting or what. But it is what it is and that’s too bad if it’s 99% of the time one group.
However, I may agree, these recent incidents do seem very organized as multiple cars drove to the same spot for one purpose as opposed to just chaos and looting like we saw last summer with the BLM riots.
But as for changing terms for the cause of racial sensitivity? No.
Flash mobs, car pooling to the site. So they get credit for attempting to be “green”.?? Just Saying.
Gangstas are almost always in packs.
Call it “organized crime.”
Well, according to the FIB, organizing via social media is akin to having a national annex. So, my guess we will see the FIB on this in 3, 2….
Oh, never mind, these people are not carrying American flags and chanting U.S.A. so no danger here…
This is what happens when Blacks are told from birth that they are victims and are exempt from responsibility for their actions. It’s already too late to correct the problem peacefully.
QuickStix26
What did they expect? Politicians practically made it clear that thieves should be left alone. Said Police are the problem.
boringlyawesum
what else do the citizens expect when they vote for the pro-criminal party
The Defund the Police crowd plays a major role in the looting that is going on now. Listen to their rhetoric. They are “allowed” to use provocative language meant to incite these people. Some of these are the very ones who constantly decry the “insurrection” of January 6th. The fact is that they don’t care at all about what happens to the people as long as they are safe and secure. How many of these in Congress who advocate defunding and eliminating the police are the very ones using ARMED GUARDS for self-protection. The hypocrisy is mind boggling until you look at their political motivations.
It all started with “Everybody gets a trophy” No winners or Losers No consequences
Don’t forget NO PERSONAL RESPONSIBILITY.

Beverly Hills Latest Shooting Raises Crime Q’s … Is This the New Normal???
10/20/2021
-snipped-
Cops say the shooting was the result of an attempted armed robbery.
It sounds like the perp(s) left empty-handed and the police are on the hunt … but remember, something very similar happened a few short months ago at nearby celeb hot spot Il Pastaio, where a handful of men pulled off something similar — in broad daylight, no less.
… cops ended up arresting 3 alleged gang members in May, whom they say had the audacity to pull an armed robbery in March, in pursuit of a $500k Richard Mille watch a man was wearing — which they successfully stole, while leaving a woman shot in the leg as they fled.
…but it now seems to be spinning into a violent endeavor, with guns blazing.

Cops on Swanky Rodeo Drive Arrested 90 People in Two Months. Eighty Were Black.
Oct. 27, 2021
The City of Beverly Hills now faces a lawsuit that accuses a special police unit created in summer 2020 of racial profiling.
…But within days, the task force reportedly shifted its focus, instead targeting people who might be committing state benefits fraud. A month later, cops had seized weapons, more than $460,000 in cash, and nearly 200 unemployment benefit cards, making 87 identity-theft arrests. Most of the arrested were never actually charged with a crime, the Times reports.
https://www.thedailybeast.com/beverly-hills-police-on-swanky-rodeo-drive-arrested-90-people-in-two-months-eighty-were-black
This really does sound like a lot of targeting in this article, though. A woman handcuffed for 20 minutes for being over the line at a red light? I don’t know if she was in the intersection or what, she mentioned three inches, but otherwise, that’s ridiculous.
“On Wednesday, Lakisha Swift said at a press conference with the two attorneys that she was handcuffed for 20 minutes because her car was over the limit line at a red light”
It’s quite possible that being over the line she was obstructing cross traffic (narrow, heavily trafficked streets) also preventing pedestrians from walking to the other side of the street. And too possible she became belligerent (that’s generally the M.O.) when the officers asked her to back up or whatever it was….consequently she had to be cuffed.
Recently ppl have deliberately (it’s organized) been causing problems in the area to advance their cause “white man-bad” It’s the latest “thing”.
I posted 2-3 videos re the terrible crime problem in the area.
Also keep in mind this report is from the dailybeast and also that B. Crump is involved ?♀️
Maybe we need a Paul Harvey, “The rest of the story”.
I read the story about the couple who said they were arrested and spent a night in jail for riding a scooter, they weren’t from there and didn’t understand why they couldn’t on Rodeo. But then I read that they were belligerent when asked not to do so and it escalated and so on.
This is why they end up getting shot, resisting arrest or just making a mountain out of a molehill when pulled over for speeding or something else seemingly minor that somehow blows up.
A professional, government-run police force was a 19th century innovation. Before that, street gangs supplied mob rule. Check out Scorsese’s film “Gangs of New York”.
Nature abhors a vacuum. If the police have gone, a new method will emerge. What do street thugs want with hundreds of pieces of expensive luggage? They’d rather be paid not to steal the goods, instead. And if the gangs battle to decide who gets the lucrative protection racket, so be it. Not Louis Vuitton’s problem.
My dear Treeper Friends – let’s take a step back and consider what the libtards are granting us here.
They are seeking to redefine the looting we all are witnessing in tony sections of California as “organized burglary.”
I think we should say, “Fine, you idiots are correct. It is organized crime, per your description. We should prosecute it as you outline it.”
Bottom line – libtards suck at law – see Rittenhouse justifiable acquittal – and let’s embrace their idiocy to their own detriment.
Talk, I see you know how to play their game better than them too.
I joked earlier that tge FIN should get involved, due to social media use to organize- you know a national annex…but you are correct- if they want to call it organized then its now RICO too.
Make them eat their ice cream.
Fork all of the narrators. In the old days re the 60’s black people weren’t even allowed to vote. Had a sister 10 years older than I who went to NC and fought for registering the black people to even be able to vote. Sits ins, etc.
ITS a CYCLE that never ends. First, lionize and demand all black people be respected. Insist they are victims against every slight imaginable. And then in the next breath, portray them as some kind of animals on the loose, which it seems they are these days. This is part and parcel of the election cycle. Black people are all good. Deserve every freebie known. Then the black skinned people all of sudden (!) are portrayed as lawless.
I don’t get what the impetus is for people to raid and loot a high end store. I guess because they can. Newsome is the LAMEST GOVERNOR ON THE PLANET. I guess he knows Nordstrom has an insurance policy.
All of this makes for headlines in the MSM. Everyone making money off of this.
Helping themselves to much-deserved reparations.
… as they run or gun you down in broad daylight for fun.
The only way this inane, ridiculous, behavior is going to stop is for crimes to accelerate in those areas in the country that are controlled by these Marxists. There needs to be a complete breakdown of law and order, to the point that people abandon these areas, as the illogic of the power brokers runs its course.
This is called the mugging of liberals, which will eventually make them self examine enough to realize that their voting has caused these problems.
It will take time and there has to be a ton more mayhem before the mugged start to put 2 plus 2 together.
That sounds great, and I mean that sincerely, until these idiots come to our neighborhoods. See Sundance’s earlier post about Nanzi coming to FL.
The civic necrosis just spreads.
You have to clean it out and sterili…, er redevelop, the infected area.

Simple thievery.
It seems like the silliness and cavernous contradictions are starting to go parabolic. It feels like we are close to this entire regime spiraling down all at once.
Someone get a plane and fly it with a tail sign looters are losers all around the bay area.
“Sex offender” now forboden as well.
https://www.theblaze.com/news/sex-offender-term-replaced-in-colorado
I’m fine with more specific language like rapist, pedophile, grabber, peeper, etc.
And if PC “corrected”, I am quite willing to mention the PC agent’s criminal and communistic tendencies and lay it on with a trowel now if they want back and forth.
Political Correctness is nothing more than tyranny disguised as manners.
Sex Offenders used to be called RAPISTS…but that was too harsh, so it was changed to Sex Offender. Now, that is too harsh as well. It’s not the words that are horrific…it is the act. Continual softening of the words does not make the act better. What’s next? Romantics making love to those who do not yet know they want it?
Just like niggers became negros, became blacks, became african americans. They are what they are and changing words does not change the horror.
They do this every time, change the word in hopes of changing the attitudes. It never works, they will move onto a new word when the old is too familiar, too.
I call it LOOTING!
Thieving? Is that better?
Needed:

Black Liberation Theology.
By saying that the word looters implies a group of people that it is politically incorrect or some how racist to identify with the term just means that you acknowledge the fact that it is that particular group that is indeed doing most of the looting. Choosing to to call the act by some other name does not change the facts of what has transpired or by whom.
But, it makes uppity white women and the perpetual black victim groups feel better.
I am on the fence with this one. These “racial justice” warriors seem to take offense to the term looting for reasons that I cannot understand after watching the video. It is true however that by definition “looting” is a theft that “typically takes place during a riot or war” and there was no riot taking place as far as I am aware so the term “organized burglary” seems to be a better description to me. It was clearly very organized – pre-planned – not spontaneous – and it was a burglary which is defined as illegally entering a building to commit theft. I am not a legal expert but I suspect from a legal standpoint an “organized burglary” conviction brings with it greater punishment than looting which can be seen as a crime of opportunity.
This organized burglary netted the criminals more money than if they had committed an armed robbery of a bank given the high value of the merchandise. These high-end retailers need to rethink their business model very quickly. They cannot keep going on doing business like this.
Why not call them what they really are??!! Violent racist “insuuectionists and seditionists”!!
Would they feel better if it was called reparations? Regardless of what it is called, it is criminal behavior that should be punished. Too bad the authorities are too busy enforcing woke SJW ideology, mask mandates and anti vaxxers.
“We do not know the races of the thieves.” Race and Social Justice Reporter Julian Glover
“In order for the ideological leftists to continue advancing their insane ideology, they have to pretend not to know things.” Sundance
There it is in a nutshell.
What? We do not know the race? Yes we do…niggers. Not blacks….NIGGERS. (For Expert Opinion of this…See Chris Rock for definition and differences between the two)
Liberators of merchandise. Sounds heroic.
How about shelf restockers? merchandise rearrangers? merchandise beta testers? What the hay, stick with thieves. That’s what they are.
Ridiculous so ridicule these people.
Every now and then you just get proud about someone else’s writing.

FYI Police:
I saw some tapes, these “looters” had some nice cars with license plates.
Shouldn’t be long before these perpetrators are apprehended, right?
