The inevitable looting in the wake of Hurricane #Irma has begun. Footage has emerged of 8-9 looters ransacking a Simon’s shoe store in Ft. Lauderdale through a gaping hole smashed out of the window.

This is one of the reasons why wise natives may choose to ride it out. You make a judgment call about survivability, and some of the old timers are good at this. Little things matter During hurricane David on Miami Beach I drove and parked my car on top of a mound of dirt at a construction site to gain some elevation in the event of flood.
It’s very easy to stop looters but the politically correct left won’t have it. Policy should be shoot on sight. Anywhere that policy exists will never have to suffer with looters. Once video emerges of the first looters being shot, no one else will dare try it.
Cop car ran the red light – who will police the police?
More reasons to own a gun…shoot the fucking looters. It’s interesting to see that the criminal element did not care about this little storm (so called hurricane) and stayed. Good for them. Only the pussies evacuated. The tough and prepared were not afraid to stay.
