“Misdemeanor” my ASS!!!!

He has been arrested and charged.

Or whatever the hell he is
Thanks, 3

I'd rather "decent citizens" aren't forced to form a counter-militia and confront them.

Send in the NC National Guard.

They're soldiers who are supposed to obey orders (like guard food distribution or protect FEMA locations), not facilitate vigilantism. I trust they take their oaths seriously.

I believe just the opposite. I think there are a significant number of members of the national guard, army, marines, air force, police depts, sheriff depts, etc. who absolutely do not take their oath to the constitution seriously. And they can screw up the operation without overtly disobeying orders. Spend some time perusing gun forums and you'll see why I believe this.

No thanks.

Just look at the number of Capitol Police and DC Police that just moved aside, or some who actually moved barricades to let the insurrectionists advance. They have them on video also, how many have been charged with Dereliction of Duty????

I firmly believe, to this day, if the LEO's inside the capitol had just started "dropping" any person that came through a window and door, the rest would have turned tail and ran..........

that's exactly what would have happened.

As it did happen, the insurrectionists got in & wreaked havoc, then they were just allowed to waltz out & go home.

Reuters is an uncertain source.

But, if true, Reuters reported one of the rumors on Face Book that might be behind the militia hunting down FEMA workers. The rumor was that FEMA was arresting local relief workers and preventing them from reaching people who need help.

According to that Reuters report, the county sheriff announced that it was a false rumor and that people needed to calm down and work together. This was near Asheville.

the top and hard to believe.

Start arresting these jack-asses

It’s happened in Ashe county also

✌🏻

what, exactly, would that look like, and by whose standards?

If one wants to refuse help, then refuse help, as long as your situation isn't endangering other people. It's getting to the point that nobody really gives a fuck if they take help or not anyway.

But these assholes do not get to speak for other American citizens who want and need help. FEMA has every right to be there and if some fucknut wants to get violent about it then the Federal Government should not tolerate that for one second.

They have a right to protect themselves using whatever it takes.

Innocent people suffer, in particular children.

Cooper called them in. If the people don't like it, they can vote for "The Black Nazi."

With the trucks of hostile armed combatants roaming US soil?

over the course of a day. It's amazing just how much a message can change, just in the course of one day.

Are lucky to get a coherent idea to a piece of paper without finding ourselves standing in front of the refrigerator and asking ourselves what we were looking for.



It is a fun an enlightening game. Great for providing teachable moments for kids about how lies can start and spread.

Maybe it should be a job requirement for reporters to play it once a week.

Thanks for your reply, SWBTATTReg.



❤️

eff them. You tried.

If these Barneys (Rubble, get it?) want to listen to someone who doesn't care about them, and do all this crap themselves, well then.... ok, bye Felicia!



* FYI *
Barney Rubble was the friend of the Fred Flintstone character,

There are innocent people there who need help.

I do not expect FEMA workers to get abused or shot at.

The terrorist gangs need to be suppressed.

Fred was Ralph.

They don't want the government?
Invalidate their drivers licenses,too...

Fixed it.

Most areas of the country aren't preprogrammed to hate anything affiliated with govt, particularly in time of great need.

Give the sane o es info to go somewhere else to get help or mail applications or make available for download or any at local law enforcement offices if they aren't crazy too.So why aren't FOX and other right wing media correcting trump about " they will take your property" bullshit? Do they want all those people to end up living in falling down houses or shacks ? Just to help Trump they eiuld leave all these people without help? Well I guess I can answer my own question, they let them die during covid hust to push the trump line so why not this too?

I wonder if this counts. And I wonder if there's foot-dragging because, you know, WHITE terrorists.

Quit acting like nothing is being done when they were actually looking for the guy, and arresting the guy.

The chaos agents are not the local population, who are living in a disaster area.

so many people/posters jump right on the disinfo train and start saying shit like fuck those people, don't give 'em any help, etc, without even bothering to take ten minutes and get the facts. It's also unconscionable for the Washington Post to spread bullshit like this. Why deliberately try to cause problems for people missing loved ones and whose homes have been destroyed? That's fucked up.

The rumor that FEMA is going to bulldoze bodies under the rubble is the sort of thing believed by the same imbecilic folks who believe that babies are executed after birth. Any sane, rational person will hear that and stifle laughter at how utterly ridiculous it is. Not these guys! They eat it up and then spit it out to all the rest of their buds on their RW platforms, who then grab their guns and run around the house wailing about how they are going to kill FEMA, until their mothers warm up some milk for them and bring it in with a plate of cookies and stroke their hair telling them it will be okay, little honey bunny. Just man-babies.

Who started the lies about FEMA?

At the very least he should be told to cease and desist by NC AG.

Is the MAGA way. They destroy that which they claim to love.

It's an OTT, ridiculous idea based on misinformation.

sorry, new poster, you will have no idea what my title is about. Just wanted to chuckle a little with the other oldies on the site.

Seriously, though, please don't make a bad situation worse by playing into the nonsense. Someone has already been arrested for threatening FEMA workers, and apparently it is one person. No it should not be a misdemeanor - it should be a felony. But that is no reason to go crazy and hurt the actual victims.

The bastard is past due for a stretch in Leavenworth.

and it was ONE guy who made a "vague threat", at a gas station. Said he was going to "mess some FEMA people up". Sheriff was called, he was arrested and charged with some misdemeanor and bailed out.

But, according to Capt. Keever with the sheriff’s office, “there’s no indication right now that there was a truckload of militiamen,” despite the initial report stating there was.

"After further investigation, it was determined Parsons acted alone and there were no truck loads of militia going to Lake Lure," the sheriff's office said in a news release.

So, no, let's not call for punishing people who have suffered a disaster in western North Carolina because one asshole ran his stupid ass redneck mouth.

Letting these terrorist "militias" operate with impunity. Send in the national guard with orders to use force if necessary.

The WP article says "people" took to social media. Are you just saying that replying to them on social media should be enough to get aid back to the town? Or are you asking for some vigilante action against the posters? Do people have to commit violence to qualify for help?

Federal aid should never be denied to any part of this country, no matter how contemptable some of its worst citizens might be.

owing to the historic roots of the regional culture. It was founded by Scots-Irish people who valued autonomy, personal liberty and saw government as a tyrannical force.

I'm so done with these fucks.

They’ve arrested the ONE GUY who was making threats, running around armed. We are not MAGAts, to deny help to people in need because of one, or even several, crazies that are ungrateful, suspicious, and dangerous. If there are any others acting like this, we can arrest them too, and get on with the REAL people’s business of disaster relief.

If any harm is done to a federal employees in that area, it would be time to pull out completely.

... that the people who are saying they don't want Federal agencies there are people who haven't suffered any real damage from the storm. Otherwise they'd be in line with their hands out. Instead, they're just fucking things up for people who really need the help. Because that's the kind of people they are, bless their hearts ...
