Wouldn’t RICO charges apply, then?

Well, it’s not “looting”.
quote:

However, these events are not considered looting, according to the California Penal Code, which defines looting as "theft or burglary ... during a 'state of emergency,' 'local emergency,' or 'evacuation order' resulting from an earthquake, fire, flood, riot or other natural or manmade disaster."

They should have just left it at that.
Bringing race into it is a load of horseshite

These people take pride in calling themselves, “pimps, thugs, and gangsters.” Why would “looter” be so objectionable?

Well how can it be racist when it’s only one group of people doing it . I would believe it could be called a tribal thing

Sorry dude, I already use the term organized robbery for every time Congress votes to give themselves pay raises.

So we need to change actions of thugs from a 2 syllable term "looting" to a 2 word, 6 syllable phrase of "organized robbery", which also is a term used for sophisticated heists.

Makes sense.

If the word 'looting' conjures up an image of a particular race, then maybe this certain demographic should stop committing so many acts that create such a picture.

Imagining white girls when you hear 'pumpkin spice' is not racist and neither is picturing blacks when you hear 'looting'.

Why? How? Explain, or it isn't.


It's looting. Changing what we call it doesn't make it less horrific. Just like calling rape an "assault" doesn't change what happened.

******* is a racist term also, but that is who does most of the looting.

California is the number one State that people are fleeing from. Even over NY.
