It's not just Nordstrom's, jewelry stores, and Lululemon, organized youth mobs are looting all kinds of businesses in the San Francisco-Oakland area. An organized mob of youths stormed a Wellspring pharmacy and looted all of the medications this past weekend. And youths hit a clothing store in downtown Oakland this week – for the second time this month. The problem is now so bad that Bay Area officials are springing into action. The local officials have decided not to call the organized robberies "looting" because that might be racist. Race and Social Justice Reporter Julian Glover is here to give us some context of looting... We are talking about two incidents, we're not going to call this looting. This is organized robbery said Sergeant Christian Camarillo, public information officer for San Jose Police. Camarillo was referring to the $40,000 in merchandise stolen from Lululemon in Santana Row Saturday. But according to the California Penal Code, what we saw was not looting.


The penal code defines looting as "theft or burglary...during a 'state of emergency', 'local emergency', or 'evacuation order' resulting from an earthquake, fire, flood, riot or other natural or manmade disaster." To some, the distinction may be small, but Lorenzo Boyd, PhD, Professor of Criminal Justice & Community Policing at the University of New Haven... emphasized that words matter. "Looting is a term that we typically use when people of color or urban dwellers are doing something. We tend not to use that term for other people when they do the exact same thing," said Boyd.

Q: Why don't White People go Looting?
A: Because that's Cultural Appropriation - which is always Racist and Wrong!

 It wasn't really looting, but only theft cause it happened when everything was calm. No earthquakes, no tornadoes.  Whew!  What a relief!  Words for everything!
