ABC News Reporter Slammed For Snitching On Hurricane Looters
ABC News sent their intrepid journalist Tom Llamas into the heart of the Hurricane Harvey damage in Texas and while he was reporting he noticed people going into a closed grocery store for food they needed. Instead of being cool about it, he called the cops on them and then made the mistake of tweeting that he was the one who informed the police. Twitter then took to bashing him for ratting out the looters. That’s when he deleted his informant tweet. Just wait till Twitter finds out that Tom was also taking names of the people who were talking during the flood. Nobody likes a hall monitor, dude.

Looting a supermarket during a flood when everything is closed/half the town is underwater is also known as GETTING FOOD. Jackass https://t.co/tDOpROlnxQ

Wow. This is reckless endangerment. People taking food from supermarkets in a multi-day disaster are not looters, they are survivors. https://t.co/37L0OTaP8m

It's a supermarket. People are suffering. This isn't journalism. https://t.co/IDOKoKkSQw
