The term “journalist” is racist.

[Tolerance Sucks Rocks]

Where’s Looter Guy when ya need him? I’m sure he knows what looting is.

Where’s Looter Guy when ya need him?

Which one?

[xp38]

stealing, thieving, robbery, severe shoplifting, confiscating, swiping....etc etc

[LeoTDB69]

Pardon me please but I must call a cultural appropriation penalty. Looting would fall under our umbrella.

[circlecity]

Blah, blah, blah.....journalists are fair game...blah, blah, blah

[rfp1234]

Is “pillaging” better? All those “barbaric whites” like the Vikings, Goths, and others were very skilled at it.

I could actually sympathize with Looter Guy from Katrina. A case of Heineken is pretty benign stuff. Not like looting on Rodeo Drive and other glitzy venues.
I wonder what he is up to lately. Could be a great human interest story!

Looting is only ‘racist’ if one thinks that only blacks loot stores. Thus, to me, those making that charge better look at themselves regarding ‘racist’ beliefs.
