The LA Times is no longer going to say that looters are looting.
It’s newly updated style guide warns:
“’Looting’ is a crime that occurs only during a state of emergency (in any jurisdiction: state, county, city, etc.). Do not use it as a broad label or term for protest, burglary, theft or chaos. Because of the racial connotation and history of the word, use terms like ‘looting’ or ‘looters’ only in the context of criminal proceedings. Unless a story is specifically about looting or those charged with the crime, ‘looting’ or its derivations (‘looted,’ ‘looters’) should not be used in the story, display type (headline, captions, pull quotes, etc.), SEO type and headlines, story description, URL, social share lines, tweets or Facebook posts.”

Roger Stone getting slammed today for using the “racist” term “negro” in an interview
Same way they morphed illegal aliens to undocumented immigrants.
“Because of the racial connotation and history of the word”
What race are you connotating? Sounds like you’re bigoted.
Beat me to it. Like you added all the synonyms. I especially like plunder, pillage, ravage, wreak havoc on. That is what’s happening.
Whatever you do, don’t call a spade a spade.
Looting is just an advance on reparations receivables.
So...’peaceful’ protesters will be shot on sight?
Just watch, that card will be replaced in every deck in Vegas. Clubs could be next because police carry clubs.
This great nation is now definitely dividing in half. Never thought I'd see the day that Mayors and City Council members want to dismantle their Law Enforcement. The stupidity just never dawned on me.
Don’t tell anyone that I use a spade in my garden.
BLM == Burn, Loot, Murder
AntiFA == Anti First Amendment
Thank you.
Very well done.
I have a few predictions of my own.
Not too long in the future, it will be illegal to sell white paint.
After all, we have got to get serious about it and do something meaningful.
I guess that makes me more of a Duck Dynasty type guy.
The left used to preach us the risks of Newspeak. I wonder when that paradigm shifted so drastically?
looter - noun
a member or supporter of the Democrat Party.
“When a society establishes criminals-by-right and looters-by-law, men who use force to seize the wealth of disarmed victims, then money becomes its creators' avenger. Such looters believe it safe to rob defenseless men, once they've passed a law to disarm them. But their loot becomes the magnet for other looters, who get it from them as they got it. Then the race goes, not to the ablest at production, but to those most ruthless at brutality. When force is the standard, the murderer wins over the pickpocket. And then that society vanishes, in a spread of ruins and slaughter.” - Ayn Rand
ML/NJ
So I guess when these thugs break store windows and carry away armfuls of merchandise, they are not “looting”, they’re involved in an “undocumented purchase.”
Righteous taking.
So, is the LA Times upgrading rapping to poetry?
Once again, trying to hide the obvious.
Taking another page from Orwell’s 1984.
Looting should be punishable by the death penalty.
In other words, non-Whites stealing stuff get a free pass.
NewSpeak continues to be perfected by the fake stream enemedia ..
