THE NEW AMERICAN PASTIME: LOOTING (New York Post)

An East Los Angeles AutoZone was ransacked twice within 24 hours as street takeovers hit the same intersection over the weekend. Video from Sunday shows a large masked crowd smashing windows and pouring into the store before fleeing with merchandise.
