Wouldn't a more effective strategy be to not post your plan on Twitter? Hard to pat yourself on the back when no one knows your plan, though.



If your #1 priority was to capture thugs, sure. This sheriff's # priority, right now, is to protect the vulnerable people in those shelters, with a force that will be stretched to the maximum....maybe (hopefully) his tweet will scare off some people that have proven they can't play within the rules of society.

Loot vs rape...

Vandalism vs rape...

So yes.. it's a great plan.

Easier to catch them out, then police hundreds of thousands in shelters.

Probably not a good idea to scare people away from shelters.


OTOH, that might be exactly what he is doing purposely. Would you want to house the criminal elements of society during a hurricane if you didn't have to?

They don't want criminals in the shelters. Makes sense when you think about it for half a second.

I guess I get both sides of the argument.

On one hand, you don't want violent criminals who are on the lam in a shelter with vulnerable people.

But, on the other hand, encouraging someone with a warrant for a FTA for a speeding ticket to ride the storm out in an unsafe location is not good either.

It's dumb. There are no "both sides". Just arrest the people who don't need to be around the general public and let the others walk.

Surely cops have better things to be doing during a cat 3-5 making landfall than booking druggies or speeders.

I say put 100 in each room with only food for 50 and let them sort it out.

You'd think so, but they're incentivized for it.

I will definitely blame the sheriff for openly diverting them away from a shelter, where they would be arrested, instead of keeping his mouth shut and dealing with it as it comes

Instead he has to be Billy bad arse. Dude has no concept of opsec.

If you go to a shelter for #Irma, be advised: sworn LEOs will be at every shelter, checking IDs. Sex offenders/predators will not be allowed


I wonder if he can lawfully do that. I am sure he will get the shite sued out of him if he does it.

Sure keep sexual predators out but keeping people on the sex offender list out is weird given how some people end up on that list.

I agree. This sounds like a sheriff trying to do some public dick measuring.

So if you have to take your family to a shelter you are ok if there is a man sleeping next to your baby girl is a wanted rapist? Just curious?

Isn't the jail cell just as secure a place as a shelter?
