It's terrible they do things like this. Just isn't moral or just.

Then along came the American left with its awful hot takes excusing the looting. The carnage was, they assured us, as American as apple pie. However regrettable the property damage that was incurred – the deaths are hardly ever mentioned – much good will surely result from the events of the last several days. Even calls for the abolition of the police are now on the agenda.
But as we’ve seen, the more likely outcome is that there is going to be a spike in homicides and property crimes across America. There is also no evidence that majority black neighborhoods will somehow bloom after they have just been razed and looted. If anything, the opposite is more realistic: these neighborhoods may not recover for decades; some might never recover at all.
Naturally, this is why so many reactions to emerge from the inhabitants of the recently destroyed neighborhoods reveal sheer despair. Howard Brookins, the alderman of Chicago’s majority-black 21st ward, is afraid that most of the looted businesses in his district will simply never return. When this happens and the quality of life of black Americans experiences a drastic downtick, your average academic radical will be nowhere to be seen.
