North Carolina hurricane recovery team relocated amid threat of ‘armed militia

This is pretty sad. FEMA is there to help people with disaster relief. But they are getting threatened by some idiot that are believing all the nonsense going around.

The Rutherford County Sheriff’s Office has arrested a man and charged him with going armed to the terror of the public after security threats prompted a pause in some FEMA operations around western North Carolina.

William Jacob Parsons, 44, from Bostic was arrested after dispatchers were told a white male holding an assault rifle and making comments about harming FEMA employees.

At this point this just feels like a misinformation campaign by some foreign government to make an already bad situation worse. Or by certain elements in our own government to make the current administration look bad. Probably both.

The news comes after FEMA workers across Hurricane Helene’s disaster zone in western North Carolina have been targeted with misinformation and rumors about the federal government’s recovery operations in the area.

Also seems like a lone perp.

In a press release, the Rutherford County Sheriff’s Office said reports of militia units were unfounded and that Parsons is accused of acting alone.

Here's the thing, Ive been plugged into reports since early on

Ive heard more reports of suicides by persons who have lost everything,

This is the first time Ive heard gangs mentioned, which sounds bogus AH. #1 A gang of marauders would have to worry more about other Carolinians than FEMA.

In one western county, they had to put up guards because somebody stole a few cans of gasoline, but these weren't FEMA these were citizens working on a closed road IIRC. Ive heard reports of grumbling because FEMA workers would try and reach out and some would tell them to leave them alone. LOL in no uncertain terms.

It's like one mayor of a small town said we started organizing and by the time FEMA arrived 6 days later we were already in motion and gathering and distributing supplies and told them to find other communities to help. They probably got their feelings hurt.

for perspective

The North Carolina National Guard told CBS News in a statement on Monday that it had "no reports of our soldiers or airmen encountering any armed militia, any threats and any type of combatants. We are continuing to serve all those counties in need of our assistance."

If The DHS and FEMA think they're scared now, just wait till THIS ....... ! ! 🆘❗️

😂🤣

So funny 👍 my take was Fonald Trump isn’t even in power and he has more influence over the disaster recovery than Biden/Harris combined 😂

Someone on this site used to say that they'd only shoot, Redcoats, Revenuers, and Republicans.

Sounds like there were a few loose cannons that were intimidating and threatening some FEMA personal. Yes, arrest those few people instead of blowing it up into a big deal. This is a propaganda campaign....these people are unhinged and there appears to be only a few of them so they need to get them off the streets before it attracts more unhinged people to the area instead of advertising it to make sure more of these unhinged people go there to cause chaos because they see fellow unhinged people in trouble.

Our government is so messed up right now.
