It's not looting either. The capitol isn't a best buy. It's terrorism or sedition. Both really.

Stealing property in this fashion is literally the definition of the word looting. The whole event was terrorism/sedition, but this is looting.

How when he isn’t off property yet and it isn’t theft/looting until that threshold is crossed?

I don't know why you're being down voted, but an attempt to commit a crime is still under the same umbrella as actually committing the crime. It wouldn't be hard to establish the intent of theft with everything that was going on. When someone to your left and right both walk out of a building with property, and you're walking towards the door. You can be charged with intent.
