Looters are people too but . . .

Chicago Newspapers

Chi Trib lede for this story:

Hundreds of people swept through the Magnificent Mile and other parts of downtown Chicago early Monday, smashing windows, looting stores, confronting police and at one point exchanging gunfire with officers, authorities said.

Can Trib say looters? Or why not rioters? At least they’re not protestors.
