Incarcerating Irma Looters Is Denounced as White Supremacy

Although Irma failed to live up to the hype, it did produce the predictable looters:

At least 32 people have been arrested across Florida for trying to loot empty businesses and homes that have been evacuated in preparation for Hurricane Irma – 28 alone in Miami, according to local authorities.

Two people burst into an Orlando sporting store and allegedly stole guns, before facing off with SWAT in a standoff.

Shocking videos also emerged of gangs trying to break into stores and take advantage of deserted properties. …

A local utilities company near Orlando is reporting that a number of residents have made disturbing complaints that people posing as utility workers are robbing homeowners at gun point, according to WOFL-TV.

The only life form lower than the looter is the equally predictable looter apologist. You may have noticed that as always, virtually all of the looters were persons of politically preferred pigmentation. Consequently, it would be racist to hold them responsible for their sociopathic behavior:

The concept of private property is the bedrock of civilization. Without it, we may never have emerged from caves. The only alternative to ordered liberty based on property rights is to live as slaves under oligarchical collectivism, as they do in Cuba and North Korea.

But now we learn that civilization itself is white supremacist. Anarchy and communism are the only alternatives to racism. Sports shops are advised to leave their doors unlocked, lest they be accused of white supremacy for making it difficult to steal their property.
