Police in North Carolina arrested at least five suspects after store managers asked cops to “stand down” when people affected by Hurricane Florence broke in and took items from a local Family Dollar outlet.
On Saturday, after the Category 1 hurricane had devastated the city, local television stations began receiving reports of looting at a Family Dollar that sits directly across from Houston Moore Terrace, one of the largest of Wilmington’s 8 public housing complexes, but the news outlets noticed that there were no law enforcement officers around.
That was because, when cops initially arrived on the scene, the business’ owners told cops that he or she didn’t want to press charges against the people who were taking items from the store. WECT reports that officers “were told by management of the Family Dollar to stand down after receiving reports of looting at the store,” so they did not arrest anyone.
The police department tweeted: “We are aware of the looting occurring at the Family Dollar Store at 13th & Greenfield Sts, unfortunately management has asked not to intervene at this time.”
But instead of clearing roadways or providing assistance to people affected by the hurricane, flooding or power outages, the cops managed to convince the discount store’s owners to press charges after officers “consulted with the district attorney.” When the proprietor relented, the law enforcement officers immediately began the hard work of tracking down the brazen criminal masterminds who made off with the store’s valuable stash of one-ply toilet tissue and off-brand pine-scented cleanser.
First, the brave heroes leaped into action by placing a curfew on the area around the Family Dollar store. Then they began reviewing news footage of the looting, asking the public for help. As the entire city waited with bated breath, wondering how they could sleep knowing that there were people roaming the streets with cases of free, barely-carbonated cases of cheap cookout soda, the valiant first responders finally apprehended the culprits, promising to punish them to the fullest extent of the law.
Absolutely every item in that store is going to have to be tossed from inventory after this storm subsides. The police would have these items go in the garbage rather than have them help the people within the community being devastated by a hurricane. Fucking ridiculous
Straight people will never be able to understand or appreciate how being gay in like a lot of cases robs/erodes the youth of so many people both in the romantic sense and in the sense that a lot of us hold ourselves back from being our true selves and enjoying life out of fear of being outed or appearing different.
Republicans are thrilled to keep children separated from their parents, and don’t you think for a second that they wouldn’t pass laws (or repeal laws) so that businesses could exploit poor families to force children to work in dangerous jobs.
It took a lot of work, and a lot of sacrifice, to ensure that child labor laws were passed, and we have to stay vigilant to ensure that our children remain protected.
