“Experts,” everyone, want us to stop using the word “looting” to describe looting:
ABC7 News ~ Experts caution use of 'looting' in describing rash of Bay Area smash and grabs

This is insane. Even the Washington Post calls it looting:
The Washington Post ~ 80 looters simultaneously broke into a Nordstrom near San Francisco, police say: ‘Clearly a planned event’

Peak San Francisco has been reached:

Coming soon: “Mostly peaceful shopping”:
Julio Rosas ~ Future CNN chyron: Mostly peaceful shopping in the Bay Area
Or maybe, “undocumented shopping”?
Christina Pushaw ~ Or maybe, “undocumented shopping”?
