If you are one of the truly scummy people who decides to go out and looting in areas of Florida ravaged and destroyed by Hurricane Ian this weekend, Governor Ron DeSantis has a warning for you: “You loot, we shoot”. This is why Ron DeSantis is easily the best governor in the country. If Florida was still run by squishy RINOs say like Jeb Bush, there is no way in hell he would have the guts to say this out loud.
Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis issued a stern warning to would-be criminals thinking about taking advantage of the chaos left by Hurricane Ian: “Don’t even think about looting.”
Hurricane Ian obliterated areas of southwest Florida this week – leaving a trail of death and destruction. The current death toll is at least 45 people, but that number is expected to rise as search-and-rescue teams access areas that have been isolated from the devastating effects of the Category 4 hurricane.
Hurricane Ian made landfall near the island of Cayo Costa with winds of 155 mph – just 2 mph short of a Category 5 hurricane on the Saffir-Simpson scale. Only three other hurricanes that hit Florida were stronger: Labor Day Hurricane (1935): 185 mph, Hurricane Andrew (1992): 165 mph, and Hurricane Michael (2018): 160 mph.
The monster storm reduced the coastal areas to rubbish and tossed yachts like toys.
However, some Floridians have used the dire situation to loot businesses.
