(51,550 posts)25. Same in Long Beach, CA. They were organized theft rings with getaway drivers waiting.
Local news got it all on camera, pointing out the looting occured at Pike Outlets while the police were distracted by the actual protesters several blocks away at Pine & Ocean Ave.
Same in Santa Monica, CA. A camera crew came upon looters going into a store from a back alley entrance behind Third Street Promenade. When the looters realized they were being filmed by TV cameras they threw smoke bombs between themselves and the cameras, then took off.
What was evident is the police were in force where the protesters were, leaving the looters free reign away from the protest locations.
