Why do people violently loot stores?
<|assistant|>
People loot stores during times of political unrest or violent uprisings as an way of expressing discontent with the status quo or to gain access to desperately needed resources. During natural disasters, looters may try to take advantage of the emergency situation to plunder stores for items such as food and medicine.
