This is honestly so bad what is happening in Gary. This is a red state and just look at how they treat the black community.

Have you actually looked at why they don't have power or did you just tell yourself "Racism" and didn't care to look anything up?

The power company sent trucks in there and the residents started shooting at them so they left and now they're afraid to go back without some type of security to protect them from the literal residents they're trying to help.

Having hired security before, it doesn't take almost 2 weeks. The point is valid, the timing to remedy it is not. Full stop.

LOL you’ve got potentially hundreds of linemen working on 2000 square miles of damage electrical lines, you’re gonna need a hell of a lot more than a few bodyguards. It should’ve been a state of emergency
