Much of the looting in U.S. cities appears to have been perpetrated by organized groups who saw the protests as a low-risk chance to commit crimes

In New York City, organized groups cased businesses during the day before returning to ransack stores at night after peaceful protests ended.

In Sacramento, Calif., after a march against police brutality dissipated, a mob broke the windows of a pharmacy and busted through a security door. In Louisville, Ky., after looters hit a Kroger grocery store, the frustrated mayor said criminals exploited demonstrations to steal.

Lahaii..kesian owner dia

Mass arson is always organized crime and conspiracy.

Nail this organized criminal element

The Democrats is behind these matter. Democrats make use of racism to creates Violence. Democrats knows that they cannot Win over the Election. Democrats rather Burn down America instead. These is the dirty parts of Political. What a shame

Weird. That's exactly what the disaster capitalists who run our countries do. Maybe that's where they got the idea?

Well its what happens when a hate group against white people start going ape shit.

😱 no, really, who knew captain obvious

Disgusting people abusing George’s tragedy!

Duh, happens in every riot. No one should be shocked.

typical....opportunities... Just as this should be a society driven protest, It is being hijacked by populist racial ideologies.... Violence only matters when it's racial.. Discrimination only matters when it's racial... Please it's 2020....stop it..

There should be a special federal force set up to track down looters when this is over and let BLM judge them.

And your compatriots over at CNN (cough - Cuomo - cough) are cheerleading these criminals. Your people should be calling their people and telling them to get real jobs.

Right. No “antifa” here. Explain the same tactics being used across the Country.

Wow, didn’t trump just say something about organized groups? And everyone was not listening.

Really....ya think!!

Oh lucky us, isn’t this what contact tracing is for?

This is all riots

George Soros & Antifa

George Soros funds organized group Antifa

Yes blacks

Wow! Who is the genius at the WSJ that came to this conclusion?

Not really organized it’s just a bunch of people who played sheep and decided that’s what they also wanted to do. You guys are trying to push the Antifa agenda😂😂

And the looter is showing off on Twitter 'Yes I looted so what?' He doubted the police would catch him. He also said in other tweets he is going to do it again, that even the FBI can't do anything with him. seattleprotest

Organized groups? I sincerely doubt that.

Catch up.

all the black men with dreadlocks came from mexico

With 40 million unemployed in the last two months is it surprising? Not okay but not at all surprising.

You think?

The riots are a direct result of a FAILURE to acknowledge the communist threat which has been growing in America for decades! Congress took an oath to protect Americans from enemies foreign and domestic. How do you protect America from an enemy by refusing to recognize who it is

Organized crime by some criminals - some of whom might have even protested. I support the protests for change. Everyone deserves equality and great opportunity and support. Please wear a mask if you care about yourself and your neighbors.

OrganizedRetailCrime a' la GeorgeFloyd protestors. 🤷🏽‍♂️

Wait wait ... so it’s criminals. Not BLM or ANTIFA terrorist (i.e.: everyone protesting not BLM)?!? This is just shocking to me 🤣

I. Arrest 3 Police Officers for Accessory to Murder II. Federal Mandates& Consent Decrees Against Racism *Get Law Enforcement Knee Off Our Neck III. Raise the Minimum Wage Above Poverty Line IV. Create Jobs Re-Build & Innovate America Infrastructure V. Affordable Health Care

WhoDatWarriors 7 arrested in connection to building damage, looting at North Hills, TriangleTownCenter during GeorgeFloyd protests

Thanks for making this distinction. Maybe your news team could assist FoxNews with the term 'opportunists,' instead of painting protesters with the same brush. GeorgeFloydProtests

Sent by the trump administration to create conflict! I guarantee it.....

Why didn't other people stop the looting assuming looters in less number as compared to peaceful protesters.

Why is it that most of the looting is in liberal and Democratic cities

baystnews In a country where 38% of the population lives below the poverty line? You don't say... Add up every penny of loot, throw in all the property dammage, and it might show up on the same scale as the take pilfered by hyper-organized groups in the financial sector.

The prisoners released from prisons whose officials were concerned that young people will caught flu are healthy enough to loot. And, coincidentally, the masks are mandatory, so the criminals are given a green light to destroy this country.

Antifa is a Jewish-run paramilitary terrorist organisation.

Lol

Yet no Trump properties were damaged! Something seems fishy

Asian countries have a way of dealing with them.

AG BARR ACCUSING LEFT AND ANTIFA WITHOUT ANY INVESTIGATION. MAYBE IT'S TRUMP'S WHITE SUPREMACIST, KKK OR NAZI. TRUMP HAS BEEN CALLING FOR THE MAGAT'S TO ACT. MAYBE IT’S TRUMP’S RACIST ARMY. AG BARR JUMPING RIGHT IN TO COVER FOR TRUMP. IT'S ALWAY THE LEFT NEVER THE RACIST RIGHT

Islamists (Iran), Communists (China) and Democrats (UK) are organizing looters to ruin the US and hundreds years of civilization history of US. Americans, black or white, the real Americans (not those fake Chinese-American or Arab-Americans) must be a lot smarter.

How much of looting is also opportunists? Watching videos it appears lots of young folks taking advantage to go get their Gucci, Dior, Apple, Coach, guitars, etc.

Captain Obvious becomes a journalist

Ah, the WSJ goes full conspiracy mode! No, just opportunists looking for an easy score. But, then again, Mr. Trump handed them that opportunity.

First of all. Can you make a laminated window glass that will not break? How many liquor stores are in a city? Shoe stores? You know the first targets.

No shit

First major news outlet reporting on this

Wouldn’t it be grear if “we all” turned on these thugs....no better time for a country it’s people to come together as one team....start “this” somewhere

Make way for Capt Obvious

nah it's a bunch of thugs looking to score. it's like crack with a mixture of BLACKFRIDAY, FreeStuff, and NoCover

US have 30 million people s unemployed. what do you expect? They will live quietly inside their apartment doing nothing

viva Gangster Disciples !

Let us investigate, are these robberies supported by China or Russia?

These are peaceful protestors, they want to loot peacefully

I like how realDonaldTrump encouraging all world not to use 5G, but we see advertising '5G builded for NYC' in trendy shop. Pathetic liars.

David Dorn was murdered. He's black. How many people posting black squares on their timeline have mentioned him? How many reporters have covered his story? Do black officer lives matter?

From the videos I have seen, this must be 'organized groups' in the loosest possible sense. As in, street gangs. Maybe.

But most mayors either in denial or could not risk the chance that voters would not understand defending property & lives, so they did little to confront the violence?

Appears? 🤣

Wealth redistribution a la Pelosi.

Can’t the instigators be identified by their pattern of movement by examining cell phone data?

Well shit yeah,all anyone will remember is who stole Rolexes,jewelry, I fones and so on.

amyyeewrites 'to have been perpetrated by organized GANGS' Fixed that for you...

Can't focus on the big deal?

A Democrats definition is we work for social equality, protecting the environment & strengthening the social safety net. We support voting rights & minority rights, including LGBT rights, multiculturalism & religious secularism. Can a republican please explain why they hate that?

Twitter is taking down videos that blatantly show nonorganized rioters looting businesses from SOHO to Hollywood. They’re trying to memory hole the truth about what is going on.

Justifying communist and thieving bands. What a shame for journalism!

President Trump, it's time to label pritzker, lightfoot et al leaders of terrorist organizations. They have actively terrorized the People of Illinois for several months with their unconstitutional decrees looting the People. The loot, jobs, businesses, freedom. liberateillinois

Terrorists.

joebiden is responsible for the riots. After his blunder on talk radio, he has led the charge for criminal riots across the country.

I'm glad everyone is finally in the loop. Now let's treat the protest as protest.

If you want to be safe from looters tonight. Hide out in a Barnes & Noble store. Safest place to be !!!

you just figured that out?

White washing another round of BLACK violence.

Uh, no shit.

Wow, a hand full of examples and weasel words. It's not like there are endless videos of 'protesters' looting, rioting and breaking stuff.

U.S. Businesses Brace for Damage as Tensions Grow Over Hong KongRising tensions between the U.S. and China over Hong Kong have American businesses caught in the crossfire amid a fight that they fear could disrupt their operations and that casts doubt over their long-term future in the city. I became a victim for more than 50,000 Americans in Okinawa, Japan for a rape incident in 1995 by US army. I and my mom deserve the best and an apology and appreciation and best treat. I don't deserve ignorance, abuse, scars and damages on my body. Plz stop abuse. It's going on. American businesses should have seen this coming. Stupidity and greed. Is that really a good idea?

Cities Are Using the Poor as Collateral Damage to Block ProtestersNationwide protests in honor of George Floyd, a black man who died after a white Minneapolis police officer held him in neck restraint, haven’t put a pause on a collection of ongoing traumas–the covid-19 pandemic, the economic precarity that has come in its wake, or the essential workers risking their lives to carry on in public spaces. But officials in major cities are using the protests as an excuse to suspend vital services that are especially crucial because they impact all of the above. Cities like Chicago, Philadelphia, and Miami have instituted closures that have canceled food distribution and cut transit hours, leaving countless people bereft of basic needs.

U.S. cities assess protest damage, await another day of unrestAmerica’s cities are boarding up windows, sweeping up glass and covering graffiti after the country’s most significant night of protests in 50 years. I blame the government of those cities that tend to have a higher incident rate involving minorities. Around here they blast the suspects' mugshots on their Facebook pages, and they really ain't that many African American folks on there. I am not anonymus, but the third world war is coming and it is going to be the bloodiest and most violent of all time.
