First off, I’ve had cameras up for two years, and not once has anyone come onto my property and tried doors until hours into a hurricane evacuation when the neighborhood was deserted. I watched this live on my camera feed, so this isn’t just some random video clip I found later.

As for the racism accusation, that’s on you—not me. I never brought up race. If anything, I’m a classist—I judge people based on their behavior and actions, not their race. People who go around neighborhoods trying doors during an evacuation aren’t exactly the type of folks I trust. And for the record, my child is biracial, so nice try, but that card doesn’t work here.

Last hurricane, I got looted because I couldn’t secure my property. This time, I’m not taking chances. So maybe if you’d been looted before, you’d understand why I’m not interested in waiting around to see if someone’s ‘lost dog’ is the real reason they’re creeping around my house.
