Yeah, that's a joke right?

This is pretty funny. I am sure lots of these looters are very poor, but look at some of the get away vehicles. Definitely not dirt poor based on what vehicles I see. So there is an element of the poor being desperate, but I think lots of these looters are just immature young men wanting to be a cool bad guy.

I know it is easy for me to say this being behind a keyboard, but don't the managers and owners of the mall take basic precautionary measures? Board up windows, extra lock on doors, etc? Maybe not worth it for a shoe stores.

It is a fact that no work boots were stolen.

I like to say this.

As a white person I know those black criminals in the video do not represent the majority of black people in this country. But you know what? The people in the KKK or marching in Charlottesville do not represent that majority of white people in this country.

If we could come to that agreement maybe things can get better. But it goes both ways. Don't go around assuming every Trump supporter is a racist etc. if you don't want people to think they represent your community.

Black Lives Matter was helping out in the rescue effort.

However, they failed to rescue any work boots or books from the nearby bookstore.

Good catch. Why is it that no one ever loots stuff that they need for work?

I'm going to start judging the actions of Trump supporters by people at KKK rallies. Give me a break.

I don't know which makes me angrier.....fools stealing from stores or stores stealing from patrons (price gouging). To profit off disaster is really one of the lowest things a human can do.

Looting is a "crime of opportunity." Has nothing to do with poor vs. not poor.
