Unless it's the Stanley Cup finals or their team gets eliminated from some NCAA event,then it's another race.

Just label them as "domestic terrorists" and bring out the dogs and firehoses.

Do you think Looters use this opportunity to smash and grab?
Because they are low life cowards.

Using the killing of a person to loot and steal is getting to be a habit .... they should be cuffed, and serve time. Robbery is a crime. They use it like it is a mastercard when someone gets shot and killed.

They start to break windows and then in they go carrying out everything imaginable. Like a free for all.

Not all of them do it. Only a small percentage so stop acting like all the protestors loot.

Why do Rioters have to steal?



Because they are already thieves and rioting gives them an excellent opportunity to practice their trade. Rioters should be shot on sight.

Exactly!

There are two types in the riots. The pi$$ed off protestors, and the rioting exploiters. The rioting exploiters loot and vandalize while pretending to be part of the pi$$ed off protestors.
