Phony National Guardsmen in South Carolina

| October 7, 2015

South Carolina Now warns residents of Georgetown County, SC that there are a couple of looters going door-to-door pretending to be National Guardsmen who warn homeowners to evacuate because of rising flood waters;

“We have received reports that people claiming to be S.C. National Guardsmen are going door to door in some areas of the county asking residents to voluntarily evacuate,” Jackie Broach, Georgetown County spokesperson, said.

“S.C. National Guard representatives stationed in our Emergency Operations Center say this is not authorized by the National Guard at any location in Georgetown County,” Broach said.

“In disasters in other areas there have been cases of people posing as authorities asking people to leave their homes, then they go in and pillage things from the home after it is empty,” she said.

But, you know, wearing a uniform and pretending to be a soldier is freedom of speech and it’s a victimless crime.

It’s hard to keep up with all these pukes. Thank God for places like TAH to do the legwork for us.

My first thought was that maybe Reginald Hinson and Thomas “Turd” Bolling are stormchasers now.

That’s funny!

I wonder if any sexual harassment was involved as that is Turd Bolling’s MO.

I’m old enough to remember when caught looting you were executed on the spot. It stopped a bunch of it and sure made others think twice.

As a former SCARNG member and now the father of one I have one thing to say to these assholes. Please, PLEASE come to my house and try this so I can have some fun.

Disasters bring out the best in people. Sadly, it also brings out the worst.

Too bad public flogging isn’t allowed.

Haha yea I didn’t read that close enough. Here’s hoping they aren’t real Guard with a side job.

Ask to see their identification. Ask to speak to their OIC. Ask to see their orders.

If, at any point, they try to force their way into your house, ventilate them and call the police.

DO YOU TRY to be this DENSE or does it come naturally? You make a California bleach blonde look like Einstein!

Some people don’t have to try… case in point.

No surprise here. In disasters, this is a common occurrence. It just seems that it would make common sense to verify something like this with local authorities before leaving a home unguarded.
