Texas Sheriff Warns Looters: We Believe in the Second Amendment and

As the waters in Houston and surrounding areas begin to recede in the aftermath of Hurricane Harvey, there's no doubt looters are getting ready to take advantage of empty homes. Some looting has already started.

But one Texas Sheriff has a stern warning for those who seek to prey on victims: You do so at the risk of your life.

"We've heard of looting around the greater Houston area, specifically Harris County. But as far as Fort Bend County, we haven't," Fort Bend County Sheriff Troy Nehls told Fox News Saturday.

"I made a comment the other day that we support the Second Amendment here in Fort Bend County and there are many of us that are armed. I would would caution those that want to come and prey on our people here in Fort Bend County that are suffering so much right now, you may want to stay out of Fort Bend County because you could leave this county in a bag," he continued.

God bless Texas.

Nehls's stance is especially refreshing considering firearms belonging to citizens were confiscated during Hurricane Katrina in 2005, leaving victims defenseless as lawlessness quickly took over the city.

We have to stop playing nice with looters, criminals, antifa and RINOs.

To all looters: You are best to pick Harris County if you want to successfully loot or hurt innocent people.

“To all looters: You are best to pick Harris County if you want to successfully loot or hurt innocent people.”

And if you just want to get yourself shot and killed, go out to lunch in McLennan County, particularly if your mode of transportation is a motorcycle!

Yep - after Katrina, i put up a sign at the end of our road warning that we were an armed community and looters would be shot - "visiting" Florida Trooper happened by and read the sign, noted the .357 on my hip, touched the brim of his hat and continued on.

Very little looting in S. MS in vivid contrast to NOLA where they confiscated legally held weapons and bared the throats of the decent folks....

Remember, that they’ve not recovered from Harvey’s terror and Irma is on her way to tear up more Texas Land and life’s.

Pretty much the same message the Madison County Alabama Sheriff gave after tornado outbreaks several years ago.

Are you referring to the 200 gangsters that hand a gunfight at a breastaurant on a Sunday afternoon?

There is a very natural response to anyone a man finds trespassing on his land.

“Are you referring to the 200 gangsters that hand a gunfight at a breastaurant on a Sunday afternoon?”

No, I am referring to the nearly 200 citizens of the United States who have had their lives ruined by a crooked police force, district attorney, and a couple of crooked judges. It has been nearly 900 days since the event in Whacko occurred, and yet no one has yet gone to trial. That, in and of itself, is a disgrace. Gator, you’re nothing but a racist, whose hatred extends to people who choose not to live exactly like you prescribe. Now that the crooked judge Strother has been removed, maybe we will be able to get to the truth about what really happened that day. And I really hope you live in Whacko or at least McLennan County so your personal finances are impacted when those who were innocent of any crime, but were arrested nonetheless, win their lawsuits and can reach into your pocket for their just compensation.

Our govenor in NC is just the opposite. He is salivating on confiscating should Irma hit landfall.

ROTFLMAO!

Waco police protecting the good citizens of Waco from those pedophile, human-trafficking, drug-trafficking gangsters that rode into town from all over Texas to have a gangwar in a family plaza on a Sunday afternoon!

That whole thing has turned into a “he said-she said” with few verifiable facts in evidence. And when does a motorcycle “club” become a gang? Is it OK for them to pose a threat to other such “clubs” and ordinary citizens?

The truth may never be known, yet each side believes he knows it.

Obvious. 200 gangsters decided to have a little ‘fun’ ...

“As a fistfight broke out, he recalls seeing a rival biker pull out a gun and shoot a Cossack in the head. Boyett dove for cover, but a man with a handgun stood over him and emptied two bullets into his head, according to Ledbetter.”

Are there any MC’s that are NOT gangs?
