DeSantis has message for potential looters in wake of Hurricane Idalia: ‘You loot, we shoot’

Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis told would-be thieves that law enforcement in the Sunshine State would not tolerate anyone taking advantage of the chaos in the aftermath of Hurricane Idalia, warning: “You loot, we shoot.”

“I’d also just remind potential looters – you never know what you’re walking into,” DeSantis, 44, said during a press conference Wednesday.

“People have a right to defend their property. This part of Florida, you got a lot of advocates and proponents of the Second Amendment, and I’ve seen signs in different people’s yards in the past after these disasters, and I would say it’s probably here – ‘You loot, we shoot.'” 

The governor was responding to reports of people trying to loot in Steinhatchee, a town of 537 people in Taylor County, Florida, where the Category 3 storm made landfall.

DeSantis called it “ridiculous” that anyone would try to loot just hours after Idalia’s 125 mph winds and torrential storm surge wreaked havoc on Florida’s Gulf Coast.

Thieves have neither sense nor qualms about stealing. A significant number of stay-behinds in NOLA during Katrina were there for the looting and underestimated the storm. A nurse I talked with from down there who could not evacuate without placing her patient's lives in danger said she was told the last Amtrack out of town left mostly empty...
