Joy Reid says DeSantis warning to looters in Ian’s aftermath is like racist threat from ‘segregationist’


Taking to Twitter, MSNBC host Joy Reid bashed Gov. Ron DeSantis, R-Fla., for warning potential criminals against looting the evacuated homes of Hurricane Ian survivors in Florida, linking his statements to racist cops and politicians of the segregation era.

On Saturday, the host of MSNBC’s "The ReidOut" tweeted that DeSantis telling people not to loot and warning they might be shot by gun-carrying Floridians had the same tone as "segregationist Miami sheriff Walter E. Headley" infamously saying, "When the looting starts, the shooting starts" in the ’60s.

In addition, Reid’s tweet linked to an NPR article about the racist history, connecting it to vicious segregationists and anti-Black politicians such as Eugene "Bull" Conner. She mentioned how DeSantis’ words show he’s returned to that "form." .....

Pretty sure the looters will be a diverse lot. But people are permitted to protect themselves and their property and its guaranteed that some looters are going to attempt to loot the wrong property. They all will bleed red.

Poverty and local culture would predominate. The news crews walking through the debris were occasionally queried about being looters.

All it takes are a few idiots. Few of looters is a common reason people stay behind instead of evacuating.
