I think the last time that happened was during Sherman’s March to the Sea.

Fine. You win. I’ll call it “BLM-ing”.

That was "foraging".

Once again the left is using 1984 as an instruction manual instead of a warning.

'Don't you see that the whole aim of Newspeak is to narrow the range of thought? In the end we shall make thoughtcrime literally impossible, because there will be no words in which to express it. Every concept that can ever be needed, will be expressed by exactly one word, with its meaning rigidly defined and all its subsidiary meanings rubbed out and forgotten. Already, in the Eleventh Edition, we're not far from that point. But the process will still be continuing long after you and I are dead. Every year fewer and fewer words, and the range of consciousness always a little smaller. Even now, of course, there's no reason or excuse for committing thoughtcrime. It's merely a question of self-discipline, reality-control. But in the end there won't be any need even for that. The Revolution will be complete when the language is perfect. Newspeak is Ingsoc and Ingsoc is Newspeak,'

Right. And deer also burn the house and barn after they finish “foraging.”

No one is going to be shooting the looters, no one is going to stop them. One side is already fighting the next war, and one side IS NOT.

Of course, the term looting is not racial.....looting is theft that occurs during a riot, natural or manmade disaster. A crime of opportunity not making.....

This is organized group robbery.....This is truly organized crime at the most base level.....

"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.

Oh, please. Shut the hell up. Tend to? Looting gets used in these parts regardless of race, etc.

FTA....Lorenzo Boyd, PhD, Professor of Criminal Justice & Community Policing at the University of New Haven, and a retired veteran police officer, emphasized that words matter
_____________________________________________________________________

“retired veteran police officer”... Linkedin has him listed as a 13 year deputy sheriff in Suffolk Co, MA

just sayin’
