Sedonia Owen, 75, and her son, Lindy McKissick, defied evacuation orders in Galveston because they wanted to protect their neighborhood from possible looters. She was watching floodwaters recede from her front porch Saturday morning, armed with a shotgun.We'll see how long that's allowed to last. With power out for millions, and restoration for many estimated to take weeks, things are going to get very disorderly.
"My neighbors told me, 'You've got my permission. Anybody who goes into my house, you can shoot them,'" said Owen.
Let's hope my fears are unfounded. And let's hope if they're not, that good people won't allow bad things to be done to them...by anyone.

The main reason I might decide to ride out a storm is the ridiculous policy of not allowing people back into their homes until the authoriturds DECIDE to allow them back. They don't own me or my house (though they might disagree with that assertion).
hah, i'd love to see them try to drive up and take her away with several feet of water everywhere! what would they come in? a rowboat? a helicopter?
if she bunkered down, everything in that situation works against them. in the end, it can't really be worth it for them to spend the time and potentially risk their lives to "save the shit out of her."
meanwhile taxes are taken from her, essentially at gunpoint, so that someone can come by and take her from her house, at gunpoint.
And then there was all the righteous squealing from the Authorized Journalist class about how all those selfish people 'defied' the evacuation order. I left that channel on for a few hours (MSNBC) and nobody, not once, mentioned that people are free to make their own choice.
What pisses me off almost as much as the govgoons ordering people out, is the people who stay and then cry to be saved by the government after things are scarrier than they had thought they would be.
