Looters have been allowed to get away with their crimes and it's time to put an end to it! Just because there's been a terrible crisis, doesn't give ANYONE a right to take what's not theirs. Deadly force is the only thing those lowlife miscreants are going to understand.

If thieves got the punishment they deserved, theft would be nearly eradicated.

This is a fantastic sheriff. Thank you and your team.

I'm proud of the sheriff for keeping his respectful tone. You carried and conducted yourself well sir. 👏

Chicago resident here . My heart goes out to all Floridians who are living with the aftermath of this storm. I also like the sheriff's strong stand on looters

EVERY Sheriff in America should be like this Sheriff!

CONGRATULATIONS ❤️ Great Job SHERIFF Marcano.

Good for you sir you guys did everything right!!!!

I've been here since 1984. I never saw a response like this on. Outstanding job.

Again the media is focused on blame games instead of looking at facts and above all HOW TO HELP.!!!!

Lee County Sheriff is an Outstanding Communicator. An Empathic Kind Real PERSON ❤

Bravo Sheriff..........resident from Orlando.....again, Bravo on your stance and commitment to Law and Order.....

Why do people or media always look to blame. It was a storm. Why does the sheriff have to take precious time defending himself & team. The whole country is sorry for the loss of life & property. Thank you those that are able to help The Lord Bless & keep watch over all of you. 🙏

I'm a native floridian, I've lived in the states 67 years, I've been through every hurricane that we've had. This can change direction within a 24-hour period, you can literally wake up in the morning and it be at your doorstep! People armchair quarterbacking the preparation of the storm, are trying to make this all political. Anybody seeing that storm coming had the opportunity to leave at any time and they chose not to. I was a direct hit and left and went to the other coast last week. My heart goes out to this area, I fear our state will never be the same after this. But I know others will rebuild because they love their state.

How could that even cross anyone's mind during a devastating time like this or anytime. Honestly, some people are just pure rotten. They deserve to be carried out if they do that to anybody. I'm praying for all those that were affected by this. Rip to all those lives that were lost.💔

So good to see multiple county sheriff's working together. Sheriff Grady you are a great leader to me. Team work is what it will take to stop crime and rebuild our state again.

As a Ft Myers Homeowner I am so proud of my Sheriff and Governor. The response has been as fast as possible and unequaled in Florida history. I had no power for 2.5 days and a boil water notice. Many are still suffering and they are being targeted as quickly as possible. Proud to be a Lee County resident ! Prayers to all!

Is so easy to pass judgement, after the facts, from the "comfort of your home".

You do your job so good my prayers are with you

God bless y’all for being out there helping the people😩🙏💕

I'm critical of government but anytime Sheriff Judd is in the video it is pretty much a stamp of approval for me.

Hurrah for our sheriffs department

I lived in Florida all my life and can't believe how these people are acting! When you catch them tell them we are taking everything from them! How dare they hurt people who just went thru this! As a matter of fact get a damn job and earn it on your own!

You did an excellent job with the communication and alerts. All I had was my phone. Thank you!

Thank you grady Judd for coming to lend a hand , easily one of America's best sheriff's !

Fantastic sheriff. Doing a great job!

Thank you for your service and care .❤

I lost my home in Ft Meyer to this storm. Thankfully it was my winter home and I still have a home in Michigan. I am so sorry this has happened to a community in which I’ve loved so dearly. I will miss Ft Meyers and all the friends and favorite restaurants and even my my favorite spot on the beach under the pier. I will miss you all

Blessings for the surviving people and R.I.P for those people who couldn't get out.

People who don’t evacuate make their own choice. There’s nothing a sheriff can do about that.

KUDOS! BRAVO! THANK GOD FOR ALL OF THE FIRST RESPONDERS LOCAL AND OUT OF STATE!...CONDOLENCES TO THOSE FAMILIES THAT LOST LOVED ONES.

God bless everybody down there looking out for each other my prayers are with you

TRUMP 2024🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

All looters should have their pictures posted for all to see. I love the zero tolerance policy. Florida has great leadership and I respect what they do and how they handle their business

That sounds like an awesome Sheriff and crew down there. You folks stay safe. Recovery is still just staring to roll. Blessings to each of you..

Thanks for your help and stance.

Absolutely fantastic response! Thank you Governor DeSantis sheriff Dept national guard police commissioners FPL and 107.9 for dedicated coverageband incredible response to the people

Thank you for your leadership

Good for you Sheriff! Tell them how it really is. You & Grady Judd, the Gov.& all the first responders did a fantastic job.

Love you Florida, we will keep praying for you and will be back visiting twice a year.

Thank you for all the heroes!!!

Thank you for your hard work and devotion ❤

Proud to be a Floridian. You are Awesome! Thank you

Who is this sheriff ?. So we'll spoken and informative. To the point and no nonsense. I love it .. if you make an error ( looting) you will be carried out ... this guy is going places .what an asset to Lee County..

Nothing but respect for the Governor on down to the Citizens of the Great State of Florida, nothing but love from Alaskan praying for you all! Family, Faith and Freedom, Always!!!

I respect you Sheriff. As a Floridian living in Florida I prepared a week ahead of time for me and my husband to evacuate our mobile home in Sarasota even when Ian was predicted to land in Tampa Bay. It was exhausting moving our personal belonging into storage and making plans to evacuate. We stayed in a hotel in Sarasota. My husband has medical needs and we are both seniors. We are thankful, grateful and blessed that our mobile home was not touched and we had a home to come back to when many of our neighbors homes now have damage. Every person who lives in Florida or is here visiting has to take responsibility for their own safety first and to heed the warning way in advance and get out of dodge. Sir I don't know you and I'm not going to blame you or any one else for the I could have, should have, would have blame game. At the beginning and at the end we are all responsible for our own safety. I pray that through the storm God will shine his light into the hearts of many. May the Lord bring comfort and peace to the people of Florida in the coming days, weeks and months ahead as Floridians begin to rebuild their lives.

We stand with you Sheriff!

Good to see sheriff Grady Judd there. He's a good man. That's one of my fears regarding the aftermath of a (natural) disaster. People can only take so many of their possessions with them in order to escape. But the fact that there are so many slimy, bad people out there who stop at nothing to steal, vandalize and loot others' property because of these situations, isn't disheartening as much as it's disgusting. They 'should be' carried out... in body bags, as far as I'm concerned. I hate thieves with a passion.

SO EASY for people to criticize after the fact. It is OUR responsibility to watch the news and ultimately make our own decisions. I’m from South FL and have been through MANY storms. Am now in Lakeland and ultimately made my own choice now. Rely on the news for info but ultimately make your own choice. You are responsible. And for Pete’s sake take care of your pets.

My respect to the 1st Responsers who have rescued saved lives and sacrifice your own keeping other safe not knowing your own family's situation.

I have nothing but respect for these three sheriffs they do amazing work I've never lived or been in Florida in my entire lifetime but in the upper Midwest we have a saying it says where it is right is right what is wrong is wrong taking something that is not yours is wrong and these parts the homeowner would probably put a unrepairable hole through you before they called 911 they did an amazing job with what little they had to work with they do a tremendous job but I tell you what if we ever lose The thin Blue line we're in a deep world of hurt.

Florida has some bad ass sheriffs

Shame on anyone whith criticism for those good folks helping the people in need. God Bless all whom are helpful and the souls suffering in Florida

This is as it should be...standing up for and behind the residents of your state...A true Sheriff 👍.

HAPPY TO HEAR THE TONE OF GRATITUDE !

Coulda, Woulda, Shouda. These Officials did the absolute best they could considering the situation. Second guessers need to shut up and start helping to pick up the pieces. Do something constructive rather than try to point fingers for no good reason. Admire this Sheriff. I lived in North Naples just south of Bonita Beach Rd. 2001/2014. Kills me see to see the destruction.

Many winter residents had not come down yet. Which was a blessing in that less lives will be lost. But so sad for those who are gone. Thankyou to all that are involved in this recovery and rescues.

Thank you Sheriff and team. We KNOW you did the right thing at the right time, and we appreciate what you’re all doing for us now ❤

Long Live Florida law enforcement. Thank you guys for keeping our communities safe during these tough times!! Great to see Grady Judd holding the line!! Sending love from Naples!!

I have the same policy for intruders, looters and thieves. I’m certain every sheriff standing there feels the same, not just the Lee county sheriff. Please pray for law enforcement, first responders and victims of this storm.

Great job! I know all too well how hard it is when a hurricane hits. Everyone pulls together and does their best. Please don’t be negative folks!

With nearly 100 deceased, many still unaccounted, no water/no power and billions of dollars worth of damage it is a very little man who would say "I would not change a single thing".

Florida Sheriffs (most of them) are amazing with their understanding of the public and their respect for self defense! God bless them! (Especially Grady Judd, Polk Co.)

So grateful for these county sheriffs and their departments.

Thank you for your service 🙏

Respect to all of the first responders who help those in need. (My boy, Sheriff Grady Judd in the background) :)

So proud of Florida. May God be with You through thick and thin and continue to bless ALL of the Workers who are trying to help!!!!!

God bless you, Sheriff! Keep up the great work!

The people affected have been in my prayers. I wish I could come help if I didn't have such a demanding job. Those who aren't working & are able bodied, why not go volunteer to the affected areas + you will feel good your actions made a difference especially for elderly with no family. I volunteered after Hurricane Michael and it felt good to help people in need.

I agree God bless Florida

I love this guy! Carried Out, thats right! Dont screw with peoples stuff!!

I Support You Sheriff 💯...I watched you're covered round the clock & this STORM was a MONSTER!.. You WARNED the People 2 GET OUT & MANY Wanted 2 STAY! This STORM was all over the PLACE!.. My HEART BREAKS 💔 for the people of FLORIDA!..🙏🏽🙋🏽‍♀️🙏🏽

Prayers for all through recovery.💐

I totally support the Sheriff!

This storm was extremely HARD on all of here in Florida 💔

Hell yeah. A sheriff with a spine

A tornado got our home and barn in 2006. THIEVES stole as much as the tornado ! Disgusting. Looters need to be left for the gators.

I am sorry to say this, but I have been in Florida for over 25 years. I happen to live in North Pinellas county. In the time I have lived here every time they say a hurricane is going to it Pinellas county, it always changes course. I either its where this one did or a little above in Sarasota or it hits the panhandle. I watched Irma was supposed to hit us. I watched as it got closer and then it veered to Hillsborough County. I know living in Florida that you have to be prepared because those storms always change direction. My heart breaks for everyone that has been so badly affected by this storm. I pray for all of your safe recovery.

These Sheriff's deserve the utmost respect for their preventative and post disaster actions. They are running on minimal sleep with maximum workload. Hang in there Gentleman.

Way to go. Clear message. I. Love it

Thank you Governor, county officials, first responders for your bravery and commitment to those affected communities. God Bless

Right on.... support you local law enforcement.

I have never seen Florida be so prepared for a storm as it was for Ian. I am not a resident right now, but I call Fl my home since 1967, I was raised in Jax, I know what hurricanes can do and how unpredictable one can be. I want to thank the Governor and all the City officials who put the plan together for people to have the opportunity to leave or make other plans. No one can say where it was going to finally land. This Sheriff needs support not condemnation! The way to recover is to support each other. Prayers and love for all of Florida.

Thank you for all you did for your citizens! It sounds like you did a great job. This was a monster of a storm!💙

Thank you for all your doing🙂💙

Carried out, love that no nonsense approach

Praying 🙏for Florida ❤🙏♥

God Bless law enforcement and first responders. Prayers for Florida and South Carolina.

I have to say, Florida leaders including the sheriff here and Desantis are doing are great job dealing with this disaster.

The News did a GREAT job in telling people to evacuate. I've been in Florida since June 23rd for work and had a dream on June 28th. that the Flood would happen. I was in the Ocean with two young caucasion childrem. I remember glass breaking but missing me. I posted this dream on facebook and attached the news to it. Been having pophetic dreams since the age of 5. Every news channel that I heard said to evacuate. They really stressed it. Still paying fo everyone. I prayed against it since the dream. I live in Clearwater.

Bad things happen that no one can control. Good people are doing everything in their power to help. No one should judge anyone else for this being their fault. God Bless the helpers, and all hurt by this disaster.

Thank you first responders ❤️ prayers for all 🙏❤️🙏

THANK YOU TO ALL PPL HELPING IN THE RECOVERY!!!!!

Thank you to everyone who has helped to care for the victims of this storm or contributed in any way. Thank you to every first responder whatever their profession, position, civilian, military that have given of their time and energy.

Surely nobody is criticizing these men that have done all they were physically able to do considering what has happened now and caused by a natural disaster that has a mind of its own ..this is so very sad, it hurts my heart to see what people are living thru right now and in the same country as the rest of us are living and safe today... To think anyone takes advantage of this situation robbing or stealing from another is just pathetic ... They should be put under a jail somewhere .

I was expecting the storm to hit Tampa. The news was focused on Tampa. At the last minute this storm stayed south, which spared my area by 50 miles. No one should be blamed, there was plenty of warning to prepare or evacuate. People make their decisions based on what they think is best for them. There's no room for anything but providing help. Thank the responders and helpers.

Thank you for your service and please do your best I have a lot of family and friends down there and I do believe in 2A so looters beware

It’s a good thing he sent them away initially. He saved the entire force by doing so.

Carried out ✊🏿💯👍🏿🇺🇸

Smith & Wesson will take care of those looters how chicken are them to do this stuff
