9. Maybe they're simply burglars then.

Why are they immediately being connected to the protests? Use of the word "looter" implies (at least as our media has been using that word) that they were part a demonstration and decided to commit an act of burglary. How do we know the crime wasn't premeditated? Who brings bolt cutters to a march?

Never trust our media. There's always more to these stories that they never deign to cover later on because they can't drum up fear and clicks with the truth.

Sorry, but if you steal goods from a store during a riot, you are by definition a looter, as per the Dial H For Hero Jun 2020 #14
