How to use plunder in a sentence?

  1. Marvin Cooley:

    I will no longer pay for the destruction of my country, family, and self. Damn tyranny! Damn the Federal Reserve liars and thieves! Damn all pettifogging, oath-breaking US attorneys and judges.… I will see you all in hell and shed my blood before I will be robbed of one more dollar to finance a national policy of treason, plunder, and corruption.

  2. Laksheish M Patel:

    It is intraday clossing session time and like everyday SBICap broker has made its trading platform pages unresponsive. It is all deliberate done to plunder

  3. Vladimir Putin:

    The liberal idea presupposes that nothing needs to be done. The migrants can kill, plunder and rape with impunity because their rights as migrants must be protected. What rights are these? Every crime must have its punishment, so, the liberal idea has become obsolete. It has come into conflict with the interests of the overwhelming majority of the population.

  4. Maneesh Nariwal:

    Top Stock brokers are able to plunder the investors money because of inaction by regulator SEBI's top directors year after year

  5. Frederic Bastiat:

    But how is this legal plunder to be identified? Quite simply. See if the law takes from some persons what belongs to them, and gives it to other persons to whom it does not belong. See if the law benefits one citizen at the expense of another by doing what the citizen himself cannot do without committing a crime.
