$45,000 worth of generators intended for disabled and elderly victims of Hurricane Helene have been at the center of controversy after officers were accused of stealing them from a middle school in Bakersville NC. In this eye-opening interview, Evan Vilardo, a dedicated volunteer from the Asheville area who has been tirelessly helping since the start of the disaster, shares his experience.

The generators, which were being stored at a local middle school for distribution to vulnerable residents, mysteriously disappeared. Evan recounts discovering some of the generators in the back of a deputy’s truck. When he confronted the officers, they denied taking them.

This story sheds light on a deeply troubling situation and raises serious questions about accountability and integrity during disaster relief efforts. Watch now to hear Evan’s full account and join the discussion on how we can ensure aid reaches those who need it most.

One reason people don’t want cops in their homes and businesses, things get pocketed, especially cool stuff and cash.

A bar in my old neighborhood was getting burglarized so the owner started sleeping in it at night, he caught 2 on duty cops doing the thievery.

Stealing from disaster victims is looting.

Let the punishment fit the crime.

Reminds of the TV reporter in SoCal who went across the border into Mexico to talk to a police chief about stolen vehicles and found some stolen trucks in the police parking spots. when he asked the chief about them the chief got very angry and gave the reporter 1 hour to get back across the border or be thrown in jail.

If this is true our country is evil and sick to its core. Individuals who take oaths to serve humanity steal the aid meant for the most vulnerable in their most desperate time of need.
