Plundering, pillaging, and ransacking: your resource for looting

[Brisketexan 105371]

Also, any time there's talk of looting, there's a whole lot of folks doing this in the background:

I launched a duck boat at Briar Forest/Wilcrest area to go help some friends on the Bayou. I’m not a big pistol guy, so I had the only one I owned at the time, a little five shot .38 revolver.   Launched the boat in the street, parked truck, and went about our business.  Upon return, I realized I had made an unplanned donation.  A gentleman from the (now decrepit apts) on Lakeside Estates was in the process of walking my trailer down the street.  Dude didn’t even have a busted apt to live in any longer, but really needed that new aluminum duck boat trailer. Luckily we had a pretty big group and it was just him, so he gtfo pretty quick when we hollered and gave chase. But he had it a good 50-75yrds down the road.   100 people on the street just watching it happen. Loaded the boat up and went home.  I had no intention or want to use the gun, but when brazen theft like that is rampant, who knows what else could happen (things worse than theft).  
 

ETA: there were police at the next intersection. Guess they didn’t think it was odd for a man to be humping a trailer down the middle of the road. useless af.

Where we put in, there were people trying to commandeer boats that were out trying to help rescue people.  SOme of the pirated vessels were then rolling up and robbing people trying to be rescued.  It was a pretty intense situation especially because we were using our boat as a ferry from swifter moving waters to dry land areas (smaller boats would pick people up and bring them to our boat)  

tfw cops have no legal obligation to actually protect you

It seems like a pharmacy might have an inventory that commands a good price per volume and mass, although selling it may be riskier than selling some wet Playstations on Craigslist.

Here in Lake Charles there was a national guard vehicle with 2 service members parked at every pharmacy in town after Laura, until power was restored. So about 3 weeks for most of the city.

Aside from reports of random break-ins of opportunity, one of which are friends of ours, there was no mass looting in the city. This cunt from Sealy was responsible for a bunch of them and was the guy that broke into our friend's house the week after Laura:

Did the huge drone lift up the ATM and fly it somewhere to be cracked open?  Or was it like a mini drone that could insert a dummy ATM card and nimbly work the keypad until the machine just started spitting out cash?  

 

naw, whole swarm of mini-drones working in concert disassembled it, used the raw materials to replicate themselves, and moved on to the next one.

Y’all are slipping. Has this guy made a showing yet?
 

 

 

 

I mean, I really can't blame this dude for looting a couple cases of beer that he normally probably wouldn't be able to afford. He's going to be living in a mosquito infested swamp with no electricity for the next couple of weeks. Let the poor bastard have some beer to take the edge off.

Anybody who would shoot that guy shouldn't own a gun.

jesus christ.

i mean, i live in a not too terrible neighborhood, and the facebook group will post some videos of dudes trying car doors. it would never occur to me to come outside with my 9mm or shotgun and confront the dude. our cars are locked and there ain't nothing in there anyways. even if they wanted the car, i'm not going out there blasting. my car is not worth my life, or, frankly, the person trying to steal it.

but yeah, those cops...they saw you and your privilege, and accorded you what they thought they owed you. do you think they would have told a black dude with a gun in any neighborhood the same thing?

 

or the life of the neighbor you kill accidentally when your errant round goes through their front door.

Not the looter that was a woman. he’s stocking the shelves for when the locals come back. Seriously, TABC made them pour all of that out. Everyone stood around watching and laughing/crying.

Yep, anytime something like that happens at a liquor store, every drop of it has to be dumped (in Texas at least).   So if the opportunity comes along, may as well grab some before the crime actually happens.

If someone loots an ATM with a drone I will be impressed.

Hold my beer.

Wait, so if a tornado or wildfire or hurricane removes walls or a ceiling from a liquor store, so that anybody can stroll in...TABC gets there when they get there and then orders that everything in tact has to be poured out?  Couldn't they just oversee a removal of the in tact bottles and let the proprietor transport them to some "secure" facility or some shit?  I realize it's a money grab, but fuck---allow the owner some honorable chance to salvage his inventory and make an insurance claim on the rest so he can up and running again as fast as possible.  

We have the weirdest fucking liquor laws.  is it like that in other hurricane-prone states?

TABC is the very definition of useless, bureaucratic waste.

Easy to break into/steal. Like the 2005 model. My brother’s truck (it was my dad’s) was broken into twice and stolen from the hospital parking lot where he works in Austin. It wound up in a high speed chase with highway patrol outside San Antonio. They had removed the back seat and center console. It was thrashed.
