Going2Hell Alert: Looters Steal Jackets From Boston Marathon As Victims Lay Injured
By Clash Daily / 18 April 2013
The video, which is making its way around the Internet, shows looters taking jackets from a marathon kiosk after Monday’s Boston Marathon bombings.
While the news reporters describe the chaos and destruction of the bombing scene, people are seen digging through boxes of marathon jackets, checking sizes, and tucking their new free, albeit stolen, merchandise under their arms and walking away.
It’s particularly noteworthy to read the description posted with this YouTube video:
Several Youtube viewers wrote comments suggesting that the alleged looters were simply volunteers helping to distribute the jackets. However, other attendants to the marathon pointed out that every volunteer at the race was required to wear a neon yellow/green jacket along with a lanyard. Police officers, emergency medical technicians and firefighters on the scene were also required to wear a yellow/green vest. A number of people in the video can be seen carefully examining the sizes of jackets.
Geez. They are doing it like they are at the department store. No urgency or any emotion. Just picking out their sizes and heading home like any other day.

I think that maybe a warning should be put in the title of this posting that this could be misrepresented as looting. If you watch closely, you can see volunteers from the event picking boxes of jackets up and lay them out for people to take.
What is the bet that these people are not looting, but just taking free stuff that the race workers were trying to get rid of fast so they could attend to the mass mayhem? I don't see one aspect of this thing that even remotely looks like anyone is doing anything wrong. Hell, there are working guys in ties sifting through that stuff. This doesn't look anything like what it is being sold as.

Well the people laying the boxes out on the sidewalk for easy access to the "looters" happen to be wearing neon yellow and green jackets. That is what made me rewatch this thing numerous times. Some cranks are trying to find something that isn't there. This is looting...
