Are you serious? People are writing entire books called "In Defense of Looting" and they receive no criticism, just fawning articles in the media[1]. No publisher employees are threatening to walk out over it either.

And for the record I support this author's right to speak her mind as well. It's just obvious that some speech is more free than others.

CNN had reporters stand in front of burning buildings and tell us protests were "mostly peaceful".

I guess we could say Trump's administration had mostly no mobs of insurrectionists storming the Capitol.
