Riots and Apple Stores Looted

Picture from Philadelphia’s Apple Store on Walnut Street that was looted during riots.

Photos appearing online of people trying to activate stolen iPhones. If this is real, they might have destroyed the stores, Apple is surely giving them the middle finger for their efforts.

Well apparently the images are in fact real I guess. Let me state I was nowhere near the store at the time. I have an alibi.

I don't think Apple deserved to be punished because of the governments' actions, especially when Apple has usually been more in support of the people than the government

Looters are not basing anything on the Government actions. They are committing crimes, and taking advantage of an opportunistic time in history and have nothing to do with the protests that are occurring.

Really good point, looting doesn't send a good message. We've had some very peaceful protests over here in Australia happening this weekend
