Looters used to get shot, and I dare anyone try and tell me organized retail theft isn't just straight up looting. This was back before the authorities went woke, of course. Still happens today in FL and TX, too, post hurricanes and what not. It rarely makes the news.
The video even show him just showing items into a bin for "easy" transport. That goes way beyond mere theft and as you say, straight into looting territory.
If they hadn't beat his ass, I bet he would return to loot even more since there would be no consequences otherwise.
This really should be the default response to this behavior.
