Enclaves of Wealth Targeted As Santa Monica and Beverly Hills Stores Are Looted

The famously wealthy enclave of Beverly Hills was the site of looting as windows were smashed at stores like Alexander McQueen, where thousands of dollars of goods were taken. In the upscale beach town of Santa Monica, the 3rd Street Promenade was a shell of itself after looters hit REI for bicycles and backpacks. At Patagonia, one person ran off with a surfboard. One man explained to reporters that the chaos is a way of making their voices heard.
