A major emergency brings out the best in some people, but in others it brings out the absolute worst. Shocking images of “dozens of people” ransacking a Family Dollar store in Wilmington, North Carolina have stunned the nation. This happened in broad daylight, and many of the looters didn’t even seem to care that a television news crew was filming them. Sadly, this always seems to happen whenever a major disaster takes place. Our established social order is so vulnerable, and so many people out there will gladly take advantage of others if they believe that there is an opportunity to get away with it. If this is how people will behave during a storm, how will they act once things start getting really bad in this country?
At this hour, Florence continues to dump massive amounts of rain on the Mid-Atlantic region, and now the death toll is up to 18. It is being reported that more than 640,000 people are without power, and the National Hurricane Center says that more “catastrophic flooding” is coming as Florence remains stationary over the Carolinas.
Major roads all over North Carolina and South Carolina have been flooded, and some parts of Interstate 95 have had to be shut down.
The flooding is already so bad that the city of Wilmington has been completely cut off from the rest of North Carolina, and that is where the Family Dollar store was looted. One reporter was able to capture raw footage of the looting in progress, and you can see that video on YouTube right here...

They gettin’ payed.
So no widespread looting.
Just some wide bellied looters.
The usual race
They are only about 20 percent in Wilmington
But that’s enough
There was less of it then.
Looks like its located right across the street from the a government housing project.
The owners had to figure that was gonna happen eventually.
The very people that shop and shoplift in that store every day, just rob it empty..
“People”? Those are animals.
Undocumented Shopping......................
“Looters used to get shot. There was less of it then.”
You are right. I hate to be so hardcore about the matter - but maybe it’s time we started doing it again.
I would like to see looters, with video, cut
half into with a 12 ga. riot shotgun.
These same people will be back with Jackson and Sharpton to complain when the store closes and no other store owner is stupid enough to replace them.
There HAS to be a way for these goods from riots/looting to be delivered to homes, just to avoid the crowds. Come on Libs! Make it happen.
Listen to them cackle and carry on, it sounds like Halloween trick or treaters.
Putting a Family Dollar directly across the street from the projects may have seemed like a good idea to somebody, somewhere at some time, but this is not one of those times.
The profits from EBT purchases must be tremendous, if it overcomes inventory depletion due to shoplifting and now looting outright.
