Looters who hit L.A. stores explain what they did: ‘Get my portion!’

The young man flanked the shattered entry of a ransacked CVS in Santa Monica, where people had swept the shelves clean of everything from diapers to detergent. The man, who did not cover his face, admitted he was a looter. He did not apologize.Out of the store ran another young man, this one holding a carton of eggs. He grabbed a friend and started scanning the street for targets: police cars. “We’re doing it because we can,” he said.

Times reporters interviewed people of different races and backgrounds who stole from stores over the last few days. The looters, unwilling to risk prosecution, declined to provide their names. completely clean within minutes as protesters marched nearby. Others returned again and again throughout the afternoon to the same stores for more.

At a vandalized 7-Eleven, a homeless man approached the store, his jaw dropping in awe of the scene. He walked in and carried out a beverage. His father, a Guatemalan immigrant who swept floors and did construction work for decades before saving enough money to open the store three years ago, lost $20,000 worth of merchandise.

Some shopkeepers expressed outrage over Floyd’s slaying, but felt that nothing excuses criminal behavior and that looters should face consequences.

Editors of the LA Times, the law is intended to be color blind and applied equally regardless of race, gender, or religion. If all of you will look into a dictionary you will find a definition for looting. It will not be the preposterous BS you’re saying in your paper.

American Pie.

You sent me a notice on why I cancelled my subscription...because you glamorize this BULL SHIT no one who is raised properly would do this I do not see that in your article! This incident occurred 2000 miles away .... it’s a joke to burn the city down! Zero justification!!!

lol...we know why they did it...stop the BS

Real shame the LA Times is allowing a few people with bad motives to detract from the overall issue which is the fact that our city police department is brutal, undisciplined, and out of control.

Democrats don’t want us to judge the thousands of “peaceful protestors” based on the thousands of rioters/looters/arsonists among them. But they DO want us to judge the 700,000 good police officers based on the 50 bad ones.

Great! We can expect it to stop now that they have their portion.

Yo...

This is what happens with the everyone gets a trophy mentality that has been rampant for the last couple of decades. Entitlement at it’s finest smdh

Reparations—Air Jordans, Vans, Timberlands.

sistertoldjah Forgot to finish the sentence... “of other people’s stuff.” That’s called stealing, it’s a crime and they should be arrested and prosecuted.

😂😂😂 very well thought our answer as to why you’re stealing from a store. or maybe, they’re just thieves🥱

chadfelixg what a load.

I am ashamed of 90% of black people.

I hope that American protesters learn from the experience of Hong Kong protesters, make incendiary bombs, buy gas masks, and umbrellas, and fight US inequality.

How sad that the serious protesters have to be tainted in some people's eyes with looters and vandals. It is also sad that some of them will go home and infect their parents and grandparents with coronavirus, only to see them die in a few weeks. That is real sacrifice.

Thugs and criminals. If you did anything thing, that is you have made many people don’t sympathize with the cause.

chadfelixg now do rapists

Are we ok for thieves to come to our property and take whatever they want because they want their portions of our possessions?

With this story the LA Times has taken a stand defending and normalizing looters. People who wantanly steal others property. It is depraved and an indication how far the world of journalism has fallen. The world has indeed gone insane!

Answering violence with violence. Organized cime!

A lot of black people looting and assaulting people. Democrats base

So you’re cool for others to come get their portions from you?

Stealing. No matter how you justify it.

He won the LOOTERY DIDN'T WANT TO BUY TICKET
