This is what this clown is worried about? Offending looters by using the most appropriate term to describe them?

The word “looting” needs context.
Who knew?

The stores need to hire a Biker Gang and supply them with shotguns and ammo and invite the thugs for a Black Friday “Sale”.

When white people do it it’s a crime. When black people do it it’s protesting. Please to be making the proper word usage, friend.

I agree with him. “Looting” is when mobs take advantage of riots and civil chaos to take goods.
These were highly orchestrated robberies by large criminal gangs.

"Looting is a term that we typically use when people of color or urban dwellers are doing something. We tend not to use that term for other people when they do the exact same thing," said Boyd. And when do we see other people do the exact same thing?

Of course looters are urban dwellers, that's where the stores are and wheer people can maintain anonymity. Who's gonna loot in Hooterville? Uncle Joe? Mr. Haney? Billy Joe Bradley? Who's gonna buy the stolen good? Sam Drucker?

First off, that’s a damned lie.

What will happen to those who choose to continue to use the correct word when “describing rash of Bay Area smash and grabs” ?

A dime a dozen.
Utterly worthless in this age of idiotic wokeness and libtard progressivism.

People who tolerate this behavior should open their homes to the people that they support. Lunacy is now common acceptable behavior.
To: Mr.Unique
In context - they are saying that looting is a term that almost excuses the action as occurring during another emergency - where this is “organized robbery” - I believe the intent is to point out this is more of a crime than “looting.”
To: ProtectOurFreedom
I actually agree with him too. Looting happens when groups of people take advantage of a chaotic situation. This is organized robbery, plain and simple.
