Something I heard Jesse Lee Peterson say in a video, which lines up with what I was taught while growing up - it is "lack of respect for self and others."
A good way to sum up what causes rampant theft, looting, vandalism, etc.

I would go to where she lives and destroy everything she has, the stupid *****.

Well sometimes there is a need for it, after all I am no little angel, and sometimes this world would be far better of without certain people stuffing it up.Down, boy!
This reply really appealed to my "eye for an eye" attitude.

The text of the original video says they locked her in, because she had 12 stolen candy bars in her purse. Since they wouldn't unlock the door she began ransacking the store until they unlocked the door and let her out. She left with the candy bars.
Uh...they don't. That's idiotic.
How do you explain all the riots, looting, and general destruction? You don't see whites or Hispanics or Asians doing that.
Speaking of, where can we get reliable information about this story? There's no citation in the OP, so I just don't know what to make of this at all other than to LOL.
Source . . .
Yeah, LOL. Someone destroys a business because she is caught stealing from it and you think it's funny.
Disgusting.
I would explain it similarly to the way I would explain violence and drinking problems in the native tribes of North America. There has been cultural damage against a large group of Americans, and its taking time for the descendants to recover. A lot of the trouble in US African American groups can be explained by (though not excused by) a calculated program of dehumanization of slave families, their forced indoctrination into a bizarre form of Christianity designed to further dehumanize them, an ongoing fear of and mistreatment by agents of the government and the reticence of the US citizens to recognize basic human rights or even to admit that there is deep cultural damage. All of this is factual. We have the accounts of slaves, the documentation of how they were formally processed and brainwashed, and this has affected African Americans in a bad way. It doesn't take a high IQ to get it.

I'd say the "lady" obviously has anti-social tendencies. I'm hard pressed to justify her actions, then again, my white privilege does not allow me to see the creativity of her alterative purchasing methods. Why can't store owners use tasers? It would not occur to me to make assumptions about all Caucasianally challenged individuals based on her unhinged behavior.
Thanks!
That's not what I said, that's not what she did, and that's not how it happened according to the source.

Yeah, we did much the same thing in Canada with out First Nations inhabitants. People like my dearly departed mom never understood why they could not just "get over it" and "make something of themselves". *sigh* Even pointing out that we did and extremely "good" job of the whole thing didn't dent the perception that something was wrong with "them".
Canadians must still grudgingly admit that Frank Zomboni was a US inventor. Every time you go to an ice skating rink you share in the actions of the USA.

She has diminished responsibility due to parental neglect.
Essentially she is fixated in the oral phase of development (Freud).
Her mother was not able to nurture her at about the ages of 2-3 which
is why she resorts to that mental state in moments of stress to do with eating.
Essentially she has a subconscious craving for mother's milk and maternal comfort.
As for the racial twist, well I've seen plenty of white people trashing stuff,
the football hooligan/ beer-junkie does it all the time.

What does her race have to do with it ... geeze. The woman is a lunatic, but where do you get the idea that "blacks do this" rather than just ridiculous crazy people?! Your comment here demonstrates the very definition of racism, which is unacceptable just like this woman's behavior.
