All looters are dying of starvation.
All abortions are because of rape.
All illegal immigrants are asylum seekers.
All Republicans are Hitler.
No gays are Pedos.
No blacks are racist.
All women are victims. Except Tara Reade.
I don’t know what is so hard to understand about any of this.
Basically the democrat mindset, lol

Looting from homes of people who had to evacuate or had their homes destroyed is the epitome of callousness.

Kyle Rittenhouse won his case through self-defense. It would have been illegal for him to have killed those people in defense of property.
There was a video of looters stealing TV in a reply post above yours.
link The very fact it occurs during a natural disaster makes it Looting!
Looting is the act of stealing, or the taking of goods by force, typically in the midst of a military, political, or other social crisis, such as war,[1] natural disasters (where law and civil enforcement are temporarily ineffective),[2] or rioting.[3] The proceeds of all these activities can be described as booty, loot, plunder, spoils, or pillage.[4][5]

Contextually this is a different circumstance than just run of the mill stealing.
Imagine trying to get your life together after a huge natural disaster while law enforcement is stretched thin and some people are acting as if it’s a free for all.
If someone has the capacity to prey on people trying to get their lives back in order, best not to make assumptions on what else they’re capable of.

Here's the way I see it. Scoping out a house that has been evacuated, but is otherwise intact, is breaking and entering and burglary. Stealing from a home that's been destroyed, due to war or a natural disaster, is looting. Stealing from a big box store in the midst of a melee, like we've seen teen gangs do at various stores, and during natural disasters, is looting.
Also, stealing food, water and medical supplies in retail stores, in the aftermath of a disaster, is also looting.
