Default The Looters....

I am at my house on Hardin Store Rd and at the Chevron on the corner of HS Rd/249 there are people trashing the parking lot, beating on the windows since the store owner closed the store, trying to steal gas. I caught a guy about 30 mins ago looking in the cab of my friends truck, when he heard me he walked real fast on another street so we got in my car and followed him, apparently he was trying to get gas...any way possible. I am starting to worry that people are going to get on edge and do anything they can to get out of here or survive the best they can. I am putting a sign in the yard that says Looters will be handled!

get your stuff secured and/or properly stowed before you leave town, people. looters are already out and looking for people to take advantage of. its one of the reasons i'm waitng till the last minute to evacuate(to cap some looters, not to risk my life for material possessions). to the looters, you'll get yours. keep the nonsense up.

Get ready the best is yet to come. With everything shut down, when people run out of food and get hungry, I think things are going to get really bad!!!!

Hate to take the fun out of it PSYKOZ28 but they have been using BlackWater security since day 5 after Katrina.

Its had an effect on the now retired crack dealers

Y'all hang in there and board up, tie down what you don't want to blow away. The water won't be as much of a threat as the winds - day 25 of working in LA the Mr says its hard to deflect a volvo flying at you when it isn't on the track

I'll check when the site is up to see how you all are doing. He's at ops transport so if your stuck and need out he can get something in to leave for a bit. Doubt it will come to that but if anyone is stuck post up. I'll pass it along.

Hang in there and don't do anything we wouldn't do...ahem :secret
