Hurricane Recovery Officials In NC Relocated Amid Report Of Armed Militia 'Out Hunting FEMA'

[skews13]

The Washington Post is reporting that Federal emergency-response staffers in hard-hit Rutherford County, North Carolina were directed on Saturday to stop working and move to a different area due to concerns about “armed militia” members on the prowl for FEMA personnel.

Early Saturday afternoon, an official with the U.S. Forest Service sent an urgent email message to a number of different Federal agencies warning that, “FEMA has advised all federal responders Rutherford County, NC, to stand down and evacuate the county immediately.” The message stated that National Guard troops 'had come across x2 trucks of armed militia saying there were out hunting FEMA.’”

Biden should double down, and send in FEMA workers with FBI, with shoot on sight orders anyone that even looks like they're militia, or even openly carrying a weapon in disaster areas where assistance is being delivered.

I read this on NC newspaper online and they have the balls to scream "FEMA isn't helping"

I am generally sympathetic to those who complain that FEMA falls short of doing their job. Now I'm seeing that militia are preventing FEMA from doing their job?? It doesn't really make sense to me. I hope this is an isolated situation. Or maybe this is fake news?? Who knows what is going on?

Since the govt aint doing shit, they need to get the fuck out of the way. Let "we the people" take care of friends and family. Instead of threatening them with arrest!

Sounds like they are fabricating excuses for their ineptitude.

 

[DStar777]

.. and now it occurs to me, is the militia trying to prevent FEMA from BLOCKING private aid? Becuz that is what has been claimed.

Exactly. This is the excuse for FEMA being entirely absent. No one is hunting FEMA. It's like hunting Snark.

Biden could assign some of the new 87,000 armed IRS agents to protect the FEMA workers

And now they will complain that they aren't getting any help.

Silly, yes

But not dumb

The whole issue sounds like anti white BS

So why not put Biden’s armed IRS thugs to work on the problem?

Stop lying, GloryHole. Multiple reports of this and you know how these morons are. None of you idiots is smart enough not to shit where you eat.

Yeah, it is.

Yep, it was the national guard that encountered the mountain red neck militia and reported it.

Correct. The locals are in need of assistance so it defies logic to think they'd interfere.

But then, never let logic or facts get in the way of a narrative designed to keep Democrats in power.
