Why do people violently loot stores?
<|assistant|>
People often loot stores during periods of social unrest when they believe that they will not be able to get the resources that they need from other sources. They may see looting as a way to gain needed resources or to express their anger or frustration. Looting may also be done to target specific businesses that are seen as symbols of privilege or wealth.
