I'm almost convinced instead of looting, in many cases (at least here in WA) it's some sort of organized crime syndicate working with street level gangs using the civil unrest as cover to commit grand theft.
In DT Seattle, protests turned into violent riots, and many nearby businesses were damaged including looting.
In other WA cities, criminals picked strategic targets (Target, Walmart, and BestBuy) and hit them in multiple locations. In Bellevue, there was footage of cars pulling up to take the stolen possesions and drive away.
That was different than with looting, in which people typical take anything that isn't nailed down.
Take a random example here in California, probably 50 people looted Best Buy this weekend? For a city of 70k? Vast minority.
In a country that has 20k cities. There is no way more than 10k cities are experiencing looting.
There is “more than I would actually like”, and there is actual huge/most. It simply isn’t as bad as you make out to be.
