No, of course not! Threads end up being like that old game of telephone sometimes. And to me it didn't sound like you were trying to defend looters. There's a big difference between trying to find an explanation, or understand and defending or excusing.
People try to get into the heads of all kinds of criminals, without intending to excuse their actions. And besides, people can "feel" a sense of entitlement, or a justification for looting, or even murder, but stating that as a possiblity for how they might think, doesn't mean that you agree that it's correct.
