Why do people violently loot stores?
<|assistant|>
People violently loot stores during times of social unrest or civil unrest when they feel that their government or other entities are not serving their needs, or when they have an opportunity to take what they feel they need or deserve. Looting can also be a way to target specific groups or individuals, or simply a means of expressing discontent with the current situation. In some cases, people may simply view looting as a viable option for obtaining items that they cannot acquire any other way.
