Why Looting During Protests Is Just Plain Lame
People protest to demand change — and that’s important. But looting? It’s a total fail.
Here’s why:
• It destroys local businesses that *the community* depends on.
• It turns away people who *might* support the cause.
• It gives cops an excuse to clamp down harder.
• And mostly? It’s just lazy opportunism hiding behind anger.
Some loot out of frustration, others take advantage of chaos, and some get caught up in the crowd. But none of that makes it right.
Real change happens when protests stay peaceful, when communities and police talk, and when we fix the root problems — like inequality and poverty.
Looting? It only distracts and damages the very people who want progress.
