Corporate already wrote their stores affected by the storm as a loss.
Small business owners as well if that had a solid policy.
Still bad for precedence since will cause people not to evacuate the next storm; warn the would-be feral and the public before landfall, video tape everything/heat sig, then shoot on sight if necessary.
Your link does not mention anything related to the title.
This is why people dont want to leave. LEO cant have it both ways. If they want people to be comfortable with leaving, then they damned well better protect their homes from looting.
One guy on that twitter feed wrote: “Always some evil folks like you around, these people are in a desperate situation. Family Dollar recognizes this and understands.”
Desperate situation? A few days of wind gusts, rain, and spotty flooding means that people can loot a store? It’s been about two days. Only seven people have died across the whole region. If people are flooded out their immediate priority is to get out of the area not to loot the store.
So, are the Brunswick country cops gonna release those Afro-looters they caught, along with the cracker Harris brothers? Just say...”Never mind, have a good day.”?
Reading the comments is enlightening and depressing at the same time.
Being stupid and not preparing is not a license to steal.
Democrat voters need to be allowed to redistribute.
Thats what its all about.
Stand down. Why am I not surprised.
Lousy headline. Family Dollar asked them not to do anything about it. Thats hardly a stand down order
I would make a terrible cop with my hearing problems:
“But Chief, I’m sure I heard you say ‘Put ‘em down’!”
Usual suspects.
Forget the National Guard, just send a couple of Marines over from Camp Lejeune..problem solved! ;)
Has Celine Dion made an ass of herself yet?
Why automatic weapons should never have been banned and semis should never be banned. Only way to control a mob.
Just to be clear, “standing down” means “not doing their jobs of stopping robberies in progress”, and that needs to be a firing offense.
They were eventually arrested:
Police arrest 5 in North Carolina as looters begin to capitalize on Florence chaos
FD doesn’t want to alienate their main customer base.
For the sake of the country... get those looters and give them their consequences! For God’s sake, you leaders who do this thing... you are past crazy... you are an abetter and teaching wrong is okay if you are black or if you think it belongs to you!
Whatever you want and you can steal it... I am flabbergasted at the weak leadership!
I held my own kids, who I loved with all my life, more accountable than they do to strangers who are dead wrong in what they are doing. No consequences, no teaching right from wrong.
And I do believe, as I see it,... there is a loose idea with the younguns that a lot of wrong things are okay for them.. change society and they can lie, steal, riot, destroy...
