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 have that many Amish kids out there?
Back in the 50s when Dad was a NYPD cop and before Miranda and other BS Supreme Court rulings. He told me people don’t loot (hurricanes- blizzards etc) because looters get shot. It was true then. It would work now.
Also Stop Or I’ll Shoot was in force. Criminals running from their crime would often get to their knees with hands up when they heard those words
Evil Marxist have changed that.
If Obama had a bunch of sons near a hurricane...
Dumba$$ news media - get a citizen to show up with a shotgun and see what happens. That’d be news.
And as for you - Sheriff - Chief - how about some support for your local shop and homeowners?
Try this: “Yes, you can defend your property with a firearm and we’ll back you in court” for starters.
Family Dollar is good for quick shopping, I get my t-shirt from there...
A Dollar Tree?
The might loot tens of dollars worth of merchandise!
The horror!
Old news Willie........already been up for awhile on another thread......you looking for hits?
Why are they only showing the black looters and not the white looters? /s
I guess if they set up shop across the street from the projects, they should have expected that.
Is there a pre-look guessing game going as to the skin color of said looters?
Since it is a dollar store, even the theft of 10,000 items would only be $10,000 lost.
On my local Fox news broadcast they showed a clip of one white guy putting something in his car. Not a person of color in sight.
Back in 1980 we had a riot that lasted for days. In that time they burnt down the only grocery store around for miles. The store was owned by a black guy named Earl. He started at A&P as a bagboy, worked his way up, and when A&P was going to pull out Earl bought the place. A black owned store serving his community and they burnt it to the ground.
The also torched the Norton tire and auto which employed around 200 people 90% was black. They burned 10 million dollars of tires!
They should have been putting them on cars.... Dumbasses
Miami riots 1980..... Arthur McDuffy
Good time for a power line to hit the puddle
Ah yes, "Egg McDuffy".
You people are all a bunch of racists. It was an emergency, and they all left their money at the counter.
McDuffy was an insurance salesman that decided to flee from the cops on his KZ 900. After running a considerably amount of time and being unable to lose the cops, he decided to stop in a well lit intersection. Well the police were not happy he bolted and proceeded to beat him with their mag flashlights. I don’t think they wanted to kill him and I can confirm when you bolt the cops get really angry. Things were tense until the cops went to trial.
We got sent home at lunch that day and told we would be told when we could come back. I never got the call, they burnt Norton tire to the ground.
Cops were found not gulity.
Happened again in 1982...... Nevel Johnson
Missed a week of work, started carrying a pistol after that.
I remember it all too well, I was in Ft Lauderdale at the time.
Hialeah. Folks were worried they would come west of the tracks.
I told them, they have to get through 2 miles of Cubans to get here
unreported: family dollar management told the PD not to respond. The PD told family dollar management to bugger off and made arrests.
