Looters who hit L.A. stores explain what they did: 'Get my portion!'

1. I will ALWAYS remember being told the economy was the best ever because the Dow was at a record high

And I went to bed hungry that night... something that never happened in my life. And it happened for a while, me being told the economy was soOoO great but I had trouble getting money for food.

Apparently, I was the idiot because I just had to believe my literal gut and the emptiness it had over an arbitrary line on a chart.

And you've got people saying "Sure we got a pandemic, but isn't the economy more important?"

I don't agree with the looting but I can see why it happens and how some people could even see it might send a message... when people start caring more about the constructed Dow and profit margins than human lives, you can hit them in their pocketbooks to get that message across.
