I read a book by a survivor. That is hardship.
The left is full of it. If there was a racial component to it, the newspaper would have specified same. They weren’t shy about that sort of thing back then.
A lesson for our modern National Guard and riots.
“A soldier of Captain Rafferty’s battery, while patrolling the beach, ordered a man to desist from looting. The fellow drew a weapon and the soldier shot him dead. The soldier was attacked by four other men and he killed all of them. He had five cartridges In his rifle and each of them found a victim. Other men have also been shot and It Is probable that twenty-five have been killed.”
Looters were shot
We were much more civilized back then......
Read about that hurricane. Sisters at an orphanage did not want any of the children to be swept away so the tied together link by link with rope. The bodies of the children and Sisters were found several days later, still connected by the rope.
My father had a box of random books in our storeroom when I was a kid. One of them was “The Great Galveston Disaster.” It was illustrated... some very graphic photos for a youngster, but also some very interesting survival stories.
I read “Isaac’s Storm”, it was tough reading about St. Mary’s Orphanage, and those poor children.
...and not one mention of climate change.
The looters shot after the Johnstown flood were said to be “low brow Eastern European Huns.”
Don’t know the the race of those looters shot in the San Francisco Earthquake.
Is anyone surprised that the usual suspects were looting? Nothing changes.
