Here is a link http://www.cnn.com/2017/08/28/us/harvey-houston-texas-louisiana/index.html

I hope this isn't true.

That's why the National Guard is there - to protect the responders. I used to be a responder for air plane crashes. If there was any question about either looters or even wild animals, we had guards posted. Then again, a plane crash is a very local event. Houston is a big place.

The rumors of looters and low life's stealing are true. They are risking their lives getting into flooded neighborhoods to steal the minimal amount of things worth stealing. We have nothing what do they expect to find?

I have not heard of shooting here at all.

It is sad. People are coming from all over to help us but these pieces of trash are trying to stick it to us even deeper.

It's really sad.

How about we not focus on that?

There are thousands of people in dire straits, thousands being helped and many thousands still waiting for help.

If you clicked on that link you will see that the Cajun rescuers say that people are panicking.

Some are not even on their roofs, some are trapped, with apparently being told, to wait. I mean even Raven said her neighbors would not be saved if they had not arranged for help for them.

Let's not fall into the same old tired crap that spirals out of control, that makes victims into criminals.

Maybe there are a few who have done this.

Keyword: FEW.

Lastly, let us not forget the pictures and captions in the media of white people waist deep in water fleeing their homes after days and black people fleeing their homes after days during Katrina.

The government hiding the true death toll.

White people seen coming out of stores were called "grateful to find any kind of supplies still left in abandoned stores.

Same black people were called Looters.

I worry, very much, they we will see a repeat of Katrina where they turned hurricane victims into criminals.

Made to march, hands up, under armed police.

Never saw anything like it before Katrina and hope to god we never see it again.

I also vividly remember people stuck in their roofs, waiting for days for rescue to come and upon seeing helicopters flying over and leaving, shooting off guns to get attention of the helicopters to their location and their situation.

Not unlike what people do when caught in other dire situations in need of rescue.

People lost in woods, etc.

Already, I read just yesterday that they are going to open a mega shelter for 5,000 people in Dallas.

5,000 people.

Have they learned nothing from Katrina?

You can not jam 5,000 people in one space without proper supports and facilities.

Will we see people forced under armed police to board buses?

Taking people against their will and not even telling them where they are being sent?

Families were separated. Some were sent all the way to Massachusetts.

I pray that this does not happen again. To any victims of this hurricane.

I agree with Dawn.....it's sad.

It's not just sad, it's appalling that some people will act like that.

It being reported elsewhere that the Cajun Navy is reporting shots -- but mainly its people desperate to get rescued. But I fear we are only seeing the start of the looting --

That is so despicable. All these kind people helping and these cretins try to take what little left some people have. Our state is sending a slew of volunteers. Many are already there.

Every time we go thru hurricane evacuation in Florida this same thing happens to us with looters. This is why many people refuse to leave their home when they have been told to evacuate.
