As the waters in Houston and surrounding areas begin to recede in the aftermath of Hurricane Harvey, there's no doubt looters are getting ready to take advantage of empty homes. Some looting has already started.
But one Texas Sheriff has a stern warning for those who seek to prey on victims: You do so at the risk of your life.
"We've heard of looting around the greater Houston area, specifically Harris County. But as far as Fort Bend County, we haven't," Fort Bend County Sheriff Troy Nehls told Fox News Saturday.
"I made a comment the other day that we support the Second Amendment here in Fort Bend County and there are many of us that are armed. I would would caution those that want to come and prey on our people here in Fort Bend County that are suffering so much right now, you may want to stay out of Fort Bend County because you could leave this county in a bag," he continued.
God bless Texas.
Nehls's stance is especially refreshing considering firearms belonging to citizens were confiscated during Hurricane Katrina in 2005, leaving victims defenseless as lawlessness quickly took over the city.

Hells Angels, Pagans, etc. are criminal enterprises. Plenty of non-criminal clubs exist. But who gets the headlines, and creates the image? Right... the bad guys.
” Plenty of non-criminal clubs exist.”
None of them wear the MC patch.
What the hell does an article about how to embroider “club” patches have to do with anything? You’re a MORON. Like I always get my info about motorcycle clubs from “Colorado Embroidery Works”. Totally laughing my butt off at what a dunce you are.
Are you implying that they would whack me for expressing my opinion?
I guess you are acknowledging a gang.
I’m not implying anything jerk. Just stating the obvious that there are plenty of guys that wear the MC patch that aren’t gangs. You’re the one that implied that if they wear the MC patch that they’re a gang.
And are you also going to deny that that pay money to the major motorcycle gangs?
State Farm does not want to deal with criminals ...
“State Farm’s explanation for the policy cancellation is “we don’t provide coverage for businesses engaged in motorcycle clubs.”

Because of last week’s shooting, police fear the escalation of a turf war between the Outlaws and their main rival, the Hells Angels. The city of Portland took the concerns seriously enough to call off a June 16 concert that was expected to attract many bikers.
The 58-year-old motorcyclist who was shot and wounded Tuesday is a member of the Vietnam Vets Motorcycle Club Northeast, a club that police say is associated with the Hells Angels.
Portland Police Sgt. Bob Martin, who tracks the motorcycle clubs in Maine, was asked about the likelihood of retaliatory violence. He responded without hesitation.
“There definitely will be,” Martin said.
REPUTATION FOR VIOLENCE

“Outlaws members say they are not the marauding sociopaths sometimes portrayed in movies. They say that reputation is exaggerated and outdated. They dislike being called a gang, preferring the term “motorcycle club,” though police say they fit the definition of a gang.”
Yes, I am denying that they pay money to the major motorcycle gangs. The next time you see a guy with a Viet Nam Vet Motorcycle Club patch on, why don’t you be a big-ass jerk and go up to him and tell him that he’s a gang member because he’s got a MC patch on!

Again you suggest that I risk personal injury for merely stating my opinion.
You really have an abnormal hatred of motorcyclists! What happened? Did your wife leave you for a real man riding a bike? Either that or you wanted to join a club and they turned you away because you’re just a loud-mouthed, bloviating ass.
“You really have an abnormal hatred of motorcyclists! What happened?”
LOL! Been riding motorcycles since 1961!
“Did your wife leave you for a real man riding a bike?”
No. My wife is in the other room right now watching Irma coverage.
“Either that or you wanted to join a club and they turned you away because you’re just a loud-mouthed, bloviating ass.”
I stay away from the criminal elements.
“Your link leads to the Northern Nevada Confederation of Clubs website. One of the clubs listed is is the Reno Chapter of the US Marines Motorcycle Club. Are you now saying that the US Marines is a motorcycle gang? “
I was responding to your denial that the Vietnam Vets MC / Legacy Vets MC does not pay money to the criminal gangs.
Those listed on the link pay the gangsters.
So, you're alleging that the US Marines and a Christian Motorcycle Club pay the gangsters? You truly are delusional and should be locked up for a mental evaluation.
“So, you’re alleging that the US Marines and a Christian Motorcycle Club pay the gangsters? You truly are delusional and should be locked up for a mental evaluation. “
I am not alleging anything. I just pointed to a link to show that the Vietnam Vets MC pays money to gangsters.
“You are absolutely delusional and need to get back on your meds!!! “
Gee! I am curious why this has become such a personal issue with you? Are you personally related to someone in a MC?
