"SNIP..........
By the time they arrive in Houston, theyre likely to encounter the problem that the vast majority of the rescues have already been done. Theyll also encounter the Proud Boys, another far right wing group of armed civilians. The group has been on the ground patrolling the city to ensure there is no looting.
(caption) Proud Boys wading through Texas flood with AR15s and shotguns as anti looting patrol, They dont actually look equipped to help anybody, Antifa tweeted out on Thursday.
Its unclear whether either group will be willing to stay in Houston and work to help neighborhoods clean up or if theyre bringing clothing, food or supplies to those impacted by Hurricane Harvey. One of the things most needed by survivors who have lost everything is food and clean water. After that, another need will be clothing and then those who will be willing to help them when bills for their homes must still be paid. Theyll need help if they didnt have flood insurance, which three-fourths of people didnt have. Survivors will need experts to help them file for FEMA assistance and other things.
