So, if I just go into a store that sells Armani suits or something, and destroy the suits, but I don't take them.. that's okay. Correct?

Edit, are you also insinuating that's the only 'rioting' they did and then magically the USA just formed out of nothing?

I'm not insinuating anything, or making any value judgements on what is "okay". I'm correcting the record. "Looting" is stealing. They did not loot.

This is HN. You don't need to project motivations on people when pedantry is sufficient.

(Your Armani analogy doesn't work however - a better analogy would be destroying property owned by, say, Halliburton.)
