Gov. Ron Desantis (R-Fla.), a bonafide star in the Republican party, didn’t hold back in a Friday press conference when talking about what may happen to looters who try to take advantage of the devastation wrought by Hurricane Ian.
“Don’t even think about looting. Don’t even think about taking advantage of people in this vulnerable situation. And so local law enforcement is involved in monitoring that,” Desantis defiantly warned.
“You can have people, you know, bringing boats into some of these islands and trying to ransack people’s homes,” he continued. “I can tell you, in the state of Florida, you never know what may be lurking behind somebody’s home, and I would not wanna chance that if I were you, given that we’re a Second-Amendment state.”
You can watch DeSantis flex his muscles here:
Looting the homes of people who have already been shattered is a particularly disgusting crime, and, despite the warnings of officials before the storm, it’s already happening. Here are five teen lowlife beach rats who were “lucky” enough to have merely been arrested.
DeSantis isn’t the only Florida authority figure making threats promises to miscreant predatory scavengers who prey on people who have had their lives decimated by the massive Category 4 storm.
Lee County Sheriff Carmine Marceno came right out and didn’t pull any punches.
“For any of those individuals that think they are going to go out there and loot or prey on people during this horrific event, you better think twice,” Marceno snapped. “When I say zero tolerance, zero tolerance means we will hunt you down, track you down, and you’re going to jail. If you’re lucky.”
Marceno mentioned a gas station that was looted as police were busy answering other calls and couldn’t respond.

I saw this speech. Was just great. Florida has a great governor.
He’s going to make us a fine President one day. :)
Hey Joy Reid, ask all the unarmed black business owners in Minneapolis who lost everything due to the blm/antifa riots in 2020.
Joy is quite the racist ASSuming looters are of color
I think so too and if the insidious anti-American deceptocrats manage to prevent DJT from his 3rd win then Mr. DeSantis would be fine choice.
I know Florida would hate to lose DeSantis but imagine this; Donald J. Trump for Florida Governor!
I think Floridians could live with that and imagine what the two of them working together could do for Florida and the rest of the nation by setting great examples on how to do things.
Harvard just doesn’t make them like they used to.
And the country can’t wait to hear what Joy Behar says about it. 🙄
Such a racist, denying those po’ hungry black folk of food and big screen tvs during this time of crisis.
Some poor person has to live with that bitchy mouth.
1. THE LEFT IS RACIST, SEXIST, AND FASCIST.
2. See 1.
3. See 2.
makes good sense
And that the only victims of looters are white.
I loved Eastwood’s characters from those movies.
In technical terminology, she’s a loon.
Impressive.
Good for him.
Might be good if there was a stack of looters after the
dust settles.
Let looters see how their retirement plan works.
