Americans pull together to help hurricane victims; migrants arrested for looting

Eight migrants were picked up by the cops and charged with burglary and aggravated burglary inside an inhabited residence.

Americans are pulling together to help the victims of the Hurricane Helene in North Carolina, South Carolina, Tennessee, Kentucky, Virginia, Georgia, and Florida, moving swiftly ahead of the Harris-Biden administration's slow, pokey, bureaucratic response, with food, water, Starlink, generators, transport, GoFundMe campaigns and other ways to help amid the devastation of the storm. President Trump is among them. It's just like what Mr. Roger used to say amid disasters: "Look for the helpers."

But then there are those who'd rather take advantage of the situation, using the disaster to rob and steal from the thousands of Americans who have been rendered vulnerable and helpless by the storm for their own profit.

According to the Daily Mail:

A group of migrant workers have been accused of looting properties in a flooded part of Tennessee after storm Helene tore through the southern state.

Deputies with the Washington County Sheriff's Office arrested all eight men on Saturday, according to Sheriff Keith Sexton.

Police say the men looted structures in one of the county's flood zones.

Jesus Leodan Garcia-Peneda, 51, Josue Berardo Ortis-Valdez, 30, and Ersy Leonel Ortis-Valdez, 33, were all charged with burglary.

The other five - Albin Nahun Vega-Rapalo, 24, David Bairon Rapalo-Rapalo, 37, Kevin Noe Martinez-Lopez, 25, Marvin Hernandez-Martinez, 43, and Dayln Gabriel Guillen Guillen, 37 - were charged with aggravated burglary because they allegedly broke into occupied structures.

So it wasn't gap-toothed, barefoot, whiskey-swilling Appalachian lowlife of hillbilly fame who are accused of doing this in the area, nor was it the Black Lives Matter "activists" in this instance, it was criminal migrants accused of doing this deep in the interior of the country

Mayorkis-Biden Administration acknowledges it is a disaster like no other. Says Federal response has been extraordinary.

Get it right, they were illegals.

Was the ink dry before they were released back out to steal and do worse?

We had some damage but it could have been worse. Our high school plays Grayson county in football tonight. Grayson got really hit hard. The people going to the game are loading up supplies at the fire hall to take to the game to distribute.

Shoot these ugly criminals. They prey on people who have just suffered great loss. They are lower than mud.

These aren’t truly the best and brightest, obviously.

Something WILL be done.

Any of the looters and ‘migrants’ who are not signed up to vote democrat already will be signed up once they’re out of their one day in jail - if that.

I’m old enough to remember how the old timers dealt with this kind of nonsense.

(Hint: it involved a 12 gauge loaded with 00 buckshot.)

For example of coming together, within hours in one east Tennessee town, bottled water began to arrive by the tractor trailer load. Citizens in cars each received one case and there was one case for the car.

There were 40 or 50 volunteers on site laboring to keep the bottled water flowing to those in line to pick it up . The call went out, and they volunteers just showed up

If illegals aren’t looting they are sauteing dogs and cats, it’s their way of life. That’s what Kam is comfortable with.
She banged her way to the top.
