An author of a new book defending looting is sparking outrage after an NPR interview in which she said looting gives people “an imaginative sense of freedom and pleasure." “Looting strikes at the heart of property, of whiteness and of the police,” author Vicky Osterweil said in the interview. And also, it provides people with an imaginative sense of freedom and pleasure and helps them imagine a world that could be. The author appears to have little sympathy for local and small businesses destroyed by the criminal activity, claiming “they are no more likely to provide worker protections." "However, the arguments are extremely poor and I'm shocked that NPR had her on for an interview."
