$45,000 worth of generators intended for disabled and elderly victims of Hurricane Helene have been at the center of controversy after officers were accused of stealing them from a middle school in Bakersville NC. In this eye-opening interview, Evan Vilardo, a dedicated volunteer from the Asheville area who has been tirelessly helping since the start of the disaster, shares his experience.

The generators, which were being stored at a local middle school for distribution to vulnerable residents, mysteriously disappeared. Evan recounts discovering some of the generators in the back of a deputy’s truck. When he confronted the officers, they denied taking them.

This story sheds light on a deeply troubling situation and raises serious questions about accountability and integrity during disaster relief efforts. Watch now to hear Evan’s full account and join the discussion on how we can ensure aid reaches those who need it most.

I think you had that backwards. 95% of the cops are bad. 5% are good. Look at their actions during COVID. Constitution be damned..

The Fugates of Kentucky were certainly the bluest people I’ve ever seen.

Houston used to be a rough city, neighborhood bars were rough, things changed when the white cowboy/blue collar types settled down during the 70s and became less shooty and stabby over the pool table and in bar fights.

When things get bad the police will take care of themselves and their families first.

There was an officer in a town I lived in that was a problem for decades too.

He didnt have a key, he just walked into different places and stole things right in front of everyone and walked out.

When Blockbuster came to town it was their attorneys that got the boulder rolling to finally crush that cockroach.

The Chief and the Mayor get at least one apiece. They had to know, for sure.
