Despite looting being a crime punishable by law, several liberals reacted vehemently against law enforcement’s efforts to retain order:
Really??? Wtf? People are starving and you call it looting? Food and supplies to live is not looting. Grow up. If you stealing TV money jewelry, I would agree that’s looting. Our tax dollars don’t cover emergency supplies to the needy
