Earlier I wrote about Color of Change's crusade to blacklist the Freedom Center and other groups, including a black church, by libeling them as "white supremacists". It's believed that Discover might be complying with the un-American blacklist.
But the radical group founded by CNN's Van Jones decided to take a break from its blacklist to threaten the media for looter-shaming.
#Breaking We're witnessing looting right now at a large supermarket in the NE part of Houston & police have just discovered a body nearby

Color of Change jumped in to support the looters.
Texans searching for food during the hurricane are not looters! Tell @ABC and @TomLlamasABC to apologize now! https://t.co/KZ6pLznq0ihttps://t.co/QojVSFkFEg

Deranged leftists had already come pouring in... in support of looting.
What the actual fuck are you doing @ABCNewsPR? This racist, classist, stupid bullshit will not fly in the age of social media. stop it.

The real question is why the supermarket wasn't giving it out in the first place.

And Color of Change quickly launched a pro-looting petition.
"Tell ABC and Tom Llamas to apologize now!" it screams.
Dear ABC,
We are asking you and reporter, Tom Llamas to issue an apology. Instead of reporting on the desperate circumstances of Hurricane Harvey with compassion, he actually diverted first responder resources that could be used to save stranded families--and called the police on victims searching for food. In times of emergency and natural disaster, television news is often the only way that bystanders can ascertain what's happening. News media has the sacred duty of framing tragedies in an honest, unbiased, and compassionate manner."
"To make matters worse, local authorities have stated that anyone found “looting” will be faced with mandatory jail time," Color of Change fumes.
When Color of Change isn't trying to eliminate the First Amendment, it's defending looting.
