Looters have been around for centuries when disasters have happened.

This is why a lot of people don't want to leave their homes in this area.

You have to wonder how many of these potential looters are the Green Fringes of society on welfare, who hate anyone who owns private property. They are the types that trespass private property to spike trees, sit in trees and set fires for their agendas.

Yes, we're heading up a week from tomorrow, have overnight reservations in Grants Pass. We're already getting our taste buds worked up for the excellent prime rib at The Brewery. I have bookmarked some of the sites, and also have KTVL out of Medford bookmarked as well.

We're definitely monitoring the situation very closely, but as you say, some of the lamestream media reports are so deceptive, it's hard to count on them. Thank goodness for you and this thread. It's the first place I go when I log onto FR.
