A guy I used to work with's dad's whole family has lived there for generations. We would stop in West anytime we were headed out of town, he showed me around the sleepy little town. The Chech Stop is always on my list of places to stop in when I head down south. Sadly, this will be a huge economical issue for West. Hopefully the majority rebuild and stay in the area, but I bet many wont have the means and will move. Especially with one of the larger employers in the town blowing up."If I asked people what they wanted, they would have said faster horses." - Henry FordComment

Horrible news, I have stopped there many times. I also fear this will wipe out the little town B. We can only hope that there will be sufficient insurance coverage to rebuild it. Towns can be rebuilt, I feel for the lives that have been lost and cannot be replaced.Comment

I would bet that there was maybe one or two people that where caught looting. Yet the headline of the story is "Looting reported...." If you read the entire article there is 4 sentences about looting, yet this is the headline. The Media really sucks in this country.Originally posted by Ted View PostComment

Mine was just more of a blanket statement, that people are fucking shitty in general that fucking stealing is the first thing they think of when some bad shit happens.Originally posted by Woods Racing Transmission View PostComment

We don't need them. We have enough problems.Originally posted by DallasSleeper View Post
They need to be dealt with in the most violent way though. All it will take is one looter to be used as an example and that shit will endComment
