nice to know the cops in Swannanoa still suck shit. some things don't change
"Someone discovered that an 18-wheeler wrecked during the storm was full of bottled water & dozens of people came to grab cases & hand out cases to others, until police officers arrived & shouted for them to leave. “You are stealing!” one shouted as the crowd dispersed."

Priorities=what you protect

I took part this morning in a Hurricane Helene cleanup group in Swannanoa, NC (one of the hardest hit areas).The area along US 70 by the Swannanoa River looked like a trash dump - it looked almost pretty again after 3 hours of work. It felt good to get outside and help the community.
