Americans wondering about how and why the media insists on referring to riots as “mostly” non-violent protests morphed so quickly into ugly mob attacks on not just the police and civil society but as an excuse to loot and destroy businesses in city after city should read Vicky Osterweil’s new book. As the Democrat Party lurches ever leftward, Osterweil made a name for herself as a radical leftist writer. In years past, it may have seemed unbelievable that prestigious liberal outlets would give her a platform to justify this summer of unrest as a “method of direct redistribution of wealth from store owners and capitalists to the poor.” Yet that’s precisely what NRP did when it invited her on to ramble about how looting brings joy in the way “it makes it easier to live your life because you get lots of stuff for free.” Osterweil says she doesn’t excuse killing but believes many white people who supposedly benefited from systemic racism around them have no right to their possessions.
