Hurricane Michael: Devastation in Panama City, Florida
Fox News is reporting a man trying to steal a law enforcement vehicle was shot and killed last week, hours after Hurricane Michael roared ashore in the Florida Panhandle.
The shooting unfolded Thursday night in hard-hit Panama City, a little more than 24 hours after Michael made landfall as a Category 4 storm, WEAR-TV reported. Witness Landon Swett told the station he saw the man approach the vehicle from across the street.
“He yelled at me a little bit and said, ‘Oh, I’m looting.’ And he opened the door to the police officer’s SUV with the lights going. Got in it, shut the door,” said Swett, who added that he gathered his family and turned to go inside his house.
“As I’m crossing the doorway, I look back, I saw the officer at the passenger side, I don’t believe the door was open yet,” Sweet said. “Then I got about three more feet inside, and I heard the shot.”
A Florida Highway Patrol spokesman stated that the Florida State Fire Marshals were involved in the shooting, and added that the Florida Department of Law Enforcement was investigating the incident.
Not much to investigate. Darwin grins.
If you see something suspicious… go back inside your house.
There is stupid, then there is extra strength stupid.
And then there is “he was turning his life around” stupid.
I’d say he did an excellent job of turning his life around, from Dumbass to Deadass.
Rim shot!
DARWIN AKHBAR!
Roger that!
Great idea for a law on books of all states, in times of disasters, “You Loot We Shoot”. In this case was excellent results and 1 less looter. Who’s next, we still have ammo.
The three S’s, Shoot, Shovel and Shut up! 😀
Two dumbasses. The looter thought the vehicle just magically appeared, unaccompanied by a LEO driver? And the only reason for that asshole to go back in his house was to get his own gun… I have nothing but contempt for his ilk.
Another example of the ultimate rehabilitation. He will never do that again.
One less in the Left side of the pool. these low level scum who take advantage of other peoples disaster’s and hardships should have to pay for the round first before they are taken them out.
