Aid to several communities impacted by Hurricane Helene was temporarily paused in parts of North Carolina over the weekend due to reports of threats against Federal Emergency Management Agency responders, amid a backdrop of misinformation about responses to recent storms.
Some FEMA operations were paused in Ashe County out of an abundance of caution Sunday, Ashe County Sheriff B. Phil Howell said on Facebook. This includes in-person applications for aid in at least two locations “due to threats occurring in some counties,” according to the county’s emergency management office. That assistance is expected to resume Monday.
They’ll mobilize the national guard for college campus protests but we have armed militias preventing domestic government aid and not a single boot on the ground or dissident hauled away. Pathetic.
Not saying it’s a good reason for pulling back or not deploying troops but, that would certainly “confirm” these idiots fears of “tha gubmint” coming for their guns.
An Obama-shaped shadow looming in their garden would do the same. Training these people that these actions have no consequences is far more dangerous than listening to them whine about the government, which they were going to do anyway.
