St.Thomas resident Mike Laplac on Monday said that looters are robbing residents using machetes and guns in the aftermath of Hurricane Irma pummeling the Caribbean island.
“I actually know of eight people that were robbed in broad daylight with machetes for everything they had in their vehicles, including their fuel. Yesterday we spent about 3 ½ hours in a line for fuel, and machetes were pulled there as well.

Just teens and their hijinks
Guess concealed or open carry aren’t options there
Remember folks, we are literally only 2 days away from total anarchy most places in the world. Maybe in some parts of America we’ll have a week. But have you noticed looting is pretty much accepted by law enforcement? “Give them space to loot.”
1. An "Arms Are For Hugging" bumper sticker;
2. A snazzy "Don't Rape Me" wristband;
3. A Remington 870 loaded with buckshot.
Take your time. There is no right answer...
looks like the gov’ner should have confiscated machetes instead
I’ll take the 870 ... rather have my AR, though ... jus’ sayin’.
“Hacking” has a whole other meaning in that part of the world.
Dozens busted for looting in Miami, Fort Lauderdale during Hurricane Irma.
This was definitely not mentioned in the travel brochure.
That’s why I need high capacity magazines.
# 3 with double 0 buckshot.
Is their gun grabbing Governor still alive, and if so, why?
Powah shoppin’!
American tourists should quit going to these places, for good.
I would want to be on a roof with a heavy machine gun. Or just an AR or AK, for that matter.
#4 buck is better in most cases inside a drywall home. Bigger pattern with more pellets than 00 Buck with less chance of overpenetration. #1 buck is better than 00 Buck when overpenetration is not a problem. 15 or 16 pellets of .28 caliber versus 9 pellets of .33 caliber.
Give them space to loot were the words of an idiot, I think she was in Maryland. That didn’t go over well.
In Florida, police arrested many looters, who were often stealing in groups, and shot one of the young male looters. Earlier today, I saw a video of around 11 military tanks rolling through an intersection in FL, heading for the flood zone. I’m having trouble finding it right now. I’m sure they have many roles but I’m betting they think looting is going to escalate unless they make it clear it won’t be tolerated. Tank clear.
