Social media star Jake Paul thought it was a smart idea to be among the looters Saturday night.
According to TMZ, the YouTube sensation was at Fashion Square in Scottsdale, Arizona as it was being looted by rioters. Riots have spread across the country over the past few days in reaction to the death of George Floyd. (RELATED: David Hookstead Is The True King In The North When It Comes To College Football)

What is this clown thinking? America is coming apart at the seams with riots, and he thinks it’s a good idea to be in the area?
Now, to be clear, he doesn’t appear to be breaking any laws. There is a difference between looting and just being in the area.

Having said that, he has millions of fans around the world. Maybe, just maybe, he should lead by example and stay home.
You know where the safest place is during a riot? Not in the streets or out in public. It’s at your house miles away from trouble.
That’s just a fact, and Paul should be smarter than being in the area as mass chaos unfolds.

The last place you want to be during a riot is in the thick of it. Stay home and don’t get involved. There’s nothing good that can come from it.
