It is already bad enough that Texas is going through this Hurricane Harvey, but now they are catching looters in the evacuated areas. One of the idiots that they caught said they didn't think the police would be out for a few more hours. Besides some jail time, maybe these dopes should have to do community service clean up too in the areas they were looting.
-
Stay safe, don't fight them because if they know no one is watching they can harm you much more.
-
unfortunately looters happen everytime there is a disaster, these people must feel that something is owed to them.
I agree with you plennis, they SHOULD be made to do community service, with a bright yellow or orange colored jumper on with big black letters that say Im a douchebag who stole from others
-
I don't understand how people can do this. It has never crossed my mind to go and take something that belongs to someone else. I'll never understand that mentality, and I think that people who steal without having a second thought about it should be evaluated for some kind of mental disorder.
-
Looters should go to jail for a long time and we should make sure knows so that in the future people might think twice before looting.
-
I agree looters are just about the lowest of people more so in times of tragedy like this
-
People like that make me sick. They are taking advantage because of a natural disaster.
-
It's because of people like this that some people would not leave their homes even when they're in the mandatory evacuation areas :(
I hope these looters get the harshest sentencing possible.
-
I don't understand these people. If you're in a dire situation and you stole some kind of food or first aid, I could understand that. But just plain looting, I don't get it.
-
i think community service is a great idea.
-
I think the looters are the lowest of the scum. They should be jailed and then forced to work to clean up the town. Lose all rights if they have any including any freebies. the people they are looting are already going through so much and then too have to put with this. But it seems like they think it is fair game and owned to them when ever disaster strikes.
-
People ran scams with 9/11......what makes you think they wouldnt do it with this?
Just catch them and prosecute them like any other burglary.
-
I think because of the circumstances of a disaster, mandatory evacuation, they should receive special circumstances/enhanced sentences. This is not just a regular burglary.

Depending on judge you just might get that.

Whenever I see disasters such as this, my heart goes out to babies, small children, and pets.
They do not understand what is going on.
Unfortunately, there will always be those who are willing to screw everyone else over to get something free or to make a buck.
However, I also know that there are a lot more people who help each other, and go out of their way to help others.

The persons he stole from should get 15 minutes to beat him about the head. It is the same when a person's house burns down. Before they can get to the site to see if anything is salvageable some idiot will be snooping thru trying to see if there is anything they want. People are unbelievable.

What about the average aged people? You don't care about them?
-
Unfortunately this should not be a surprise. There are plenty of crazy people out there and they are determined to prove what type of people they are.

I had no problem relating to her post.Not surprised you had one!
-
Lower than life people. They have no feeling and should be mandated to clean up the area for free. They should place them on the news with an apology to the public.
-
This always happens when a situation like this occurs. Someone will always take advantage when people are at their lowest.
-
The same thing happened in NO after Katrina, and probably happens every time there's a hurricane that causes a major disaster. considering that it's Texas, someone should be waiting for them with a gun, and put a permanent end to their looting.
-
I just can't believe that! Just make sure you don't get in their way they might be armed and perhaps take advantage of you and your loved ones. Your safety and your family's safety should be number one priority. Perhaps the law will get them later when all is calm.
-
It's a shame because people will always take advantage of a situation. Hope the looting ends!
-
Since my last post, I've been thinking about this in-depth.
There are two types of looters. There is the type who steals expensive items like televisions and computers (to make a buck).
Then, there are the ones who steal items to survive: food, blankets, and various other items to make it through the hurricane.
I have no problem with the second type of looter. When you are fighting to survive, you should be able to take things that will help you stay alive.
I don't think there is one person on here who will be in eight feet of water and not do anything they can to keep from drowning or starving.
That, I can understand . . .

Country Girl:
I never said nor did I imply that I do not care about "average-aged people." However, average-aged people have an advantage in situations such as this. I am talking about those who cannot help themselves in everyday life let alone a hurricane.
Pardon me for asking, but are you naturally this idiotic or do you work extra hard at it?
You come across as an argumentative little twit. I will not discuss anything else with you because I am not fluent in idiocy.
-
I understand looting grocery stores because you are hungry but looting someones house when they are the most down is awful. Karma will catch up with them.
-
Very good idea but the jump suit should say CAUGHT FOR LOOTING on one side and I'M PICKING UP GARBAGE because I AM GARBAGE on the other side :highfive: :thumbsup: 8)
-
yes its too bad some people are that way, taking advantage of an already horrible situation.
-
That's bad but I hear the looting isn't as bad as it was in past hurricane disasters! Texas, is doing great in dealing with the aftermath!
-
I remember one time someone was looting a store and the owner started knocking stuff out of people hands and chasing them away . I feel bad for texas
-
Community Service AFTER jail time would be ideal.
-
I agree with you that the looters should have to do cleanups for many many hours. How low they had to sink (no pun intended) to loot when their neighbors were in such awful circumstances!
-
I agree with those of you who would sentence the looters to community service of Clean Up and also serve time for the burglary they did.
-
A 12 Gage SHOTGUN is a good deterrent.
-
that just agravates me..... >:( >:( >:(
-
I hate it when idiots thinks its ok to loot and steal from stores. Owners are caught in a catch 22 and asses start looting.

Looters should be shot on the spot. I may have already commented and forgot. But anyway. It is like when a person's house burns down. Before the home owner can get back to the charred rubble to see if anything is salvageable you have frickin thieves looking thru it to see if there is anything they want. It is not yours so leave it alone. I have NO use for a thief.
-
I agree! that would be a good thing for them to do, it is so sad and horrible that any time there is a tragedy of any kind the looters come out and add to those already suffering misery.
-
those things have been in standing water that is not very clean.
the looters can find unpleasant things as well.
-
I think people who loot off of others who lost things because of harvey have zero morals or conscience of any kind.
-
Community service and lots of it would be great because there will be plenty to do for a long time. Wearing the jumpsuit with looter and I am garbage was funny to me.

I don't understand these people!
