People in parts of the Carolinas, Tennessee, and other storm-stricken states are standing their ground as looting reports flood X. This dire situation highlights the harsh reality that when disaster strikes and the government is nowhere to be found, being prepared and armed will save your life.
Eight illegal aliens were arrested in the eastern part of Tennessee for looting following the tropical system that unleashed flash floods in Washington County. Maybe these migrants were searching ‘for bread’ to feed their families… We suspect not.
The other five men — Albin Nahun Vega-Rapalo, 24, David Bairon Rapalo-Rapalo, 37, Kevin Noe Martinez-Lopez, 25, Marvin Hernandez-Martinez, 43, and Dayln Gabriel Guillen Guillen, 37 — were charged with aggravated burglary for breaking into occupied structures, the sheriff’s office said. -NYPost.

Just north of Greenville in western North Carolina, a video uploaded on TikTok, then X, of realtor Leigh Brown, who warned, “The looting has picked up major steam,” adding, “I was advised by a county sheriff to make sure that anybody out and about is ‘carrying’ and in his words ‘carrying with the safety off.'”
Brown said the people out in the storm-ravaged area might not be “awful people, they’re desperate” as their homes and towns were wiped off the face of the map by ‘biblical floods.’
