How is this incitement to looting? The 'examining' in question is a highly critical interview which is pretty much interviewer Isaac Chotiner's thing. The piece is the opposite of what you are suggesting it is.

You're right, the Isaac Chotiner piece is more balanced, but the original NPR interview absolutely isn't. I couldn't find the original NPR interview on the NPR homepage, so I--confusingly, in retrospect--linked the Chotiner followup, which was on the front page of a major publication.
Also I should add that the original NPR interview was on the "front page" of link aggregator sites like reddit and hn, because that's where I originally saw it.

This echoes a meme traveling around TheDonald right now, that Twitter booted Trump but allowed leftists to circulate "hang Mike Pence". The tops of those threads are people who don't realize that "hang Mike Pence" is a reference to something the rioters chanted; the bottoms include appeals for Pence's execution.
