During Andrew one of my troops was living down near Homestead. Looters showed up in teams he said. He and his three neighbors had been taking turns guarding their remaining possessions. He said as soon as they saw what the organized teams of looters were up to they engaged the vehicles radiators, engines and tires with rifle fire. Looters left the area on foot , fast !
Local PD showed up two hours later and told em they did good. Duh !
Looters are lower than whale shit..........show no mercy as encountered.
During the aftermath of Andrew armed gangs were sniping at the National Guard troops because they knew they weren't armed with bullets. FEMA under Clinton.
