Sheriff Mark Lamb

Nobody.

They came and took Americans from our building.

We didn't see anybody for four days.

Not to mention Noriega's girlfriend lived next door and nobody came to his building, which is where I think he was the whole time, by the way.

But that, so what they said was, hey, we had all these people in the building that actually, there was a couple Jewish guys and some other people that had guns.

They had an Uzis, they had nine millimeters, they had a lever action 30-30.

And so they said, look, we gotta guard our own building.

If not, they're gonna come back for more.

The looters will come or the dignity battalion will come and take more people.

And so they decided that we were all gonna pony up and we were all gonna guard our building.

I'm 17 years old and my job was from midnight to 6 a.m.

every morning.

I spent Christmas morning that year with a gun standing out front of our building.

And I remember one time over the radio, they said, hey, they're coming, they're coming.

And I'm like, I know enough about guns to know that they have AK-47s and I have a lever action 30-30.

And I thought, well,

I may only get one shot off, but I'm going to make this shot count.

Shoot from cover, my friend.

Shoot from cover.

I'm thinking, where am I even going to go?
