Houston firefighters came under gunfire from looters while conducting search and rescue operations Monday.

Houston police union officials told The Daily Caller News Foundation that a group of firefighters were targeted by looters while helping people escape the catastrophic flooding.

“We had firefighters out there helping people, and looters started firing on them,” Officer Joe Gamaldi told TheDCNF Tuesday morning. “We sent officers down there on a code 1 (which means as fast as you can) to assist, and they too came under fire.”

Time to start picking the b@stards off, if they are shooting at rescuers.

I'm going out on a limb and guessing its BLM, Houston chapter.

I'm going out on a limb and guessing its BLM, Houston chapter.

I really don't care what outfit they are with. I'd return fire, regardless of race, creed color, ethnicity, sexual orientation, political affiliation, and whatever other 'protected' group you can come up with.
Attacking a rescue operation is beyond the pale.

In this case returning fire is mandatory. Terminate with prejudice.

As a matter of fact it might be the only type of criminal activity where removing the threat using military type tactics would be acceptable to me.

This is horrific. Looters need to be dealt with at the scene- permanently.

I strongly suspect that the response to that has been fully adequate.  Those giys are in no mood to put up with that bs at this point.

Agreed.
Wasn't there a time not-all-that-many-years-ago when, after a natural disaster, the orders were given that looters would be shot on sight?

Time to start doing it again.
I don't care how many of them are killed as a result.
I really don't.
The rest of society will be better off for it.

That is subhuman, and they suggest a response accordingly.

They have my vote for blowing their heads off their shoulders.

Disgraceful Harvey Looters Targeting Firefighters in Storm’s Aftermath
By Andrew West August 30, 2017
 

While there are some wonderfully uplifting tales being disseminated from the heart of Hurricane Harvey’s destruction, not all the news coming from Texas has a silver lining.

The massively powerful storm known as Hurricane Harvey has finally begun to move out of the state of Texas after days of pummeling cities such as Houston with record levels of precipitation.  The cleanup from this hellacious hurricane could takes years according to experts, and will likely go down as the most expensive storm recovery effort in the history of the United States.
