Federal emergency response personnel on Saturday had employees operating in hard-hit Rutherford County, N.C., stop working and move to a different area because of concerns over “armed militia” threatening government workers in the region

    Does anyone else notice that these domestic terrorists always seem to target their own neighbors?

    Wall Street bankers are safe from their rage, but people who rely on the local power grid are their sworn enemies.

        If nothing else, it’s a crappy military strategy.

        If there’s a new Civil War the NC National Guard is going to get called out.

        They are going to remember the people who made them do extra work after a disaster, and also remember that the Federal government actually showed up to help.

    Why don’t they just go in and gun them down where they stand? Oh… they’re white, and armed whites terrorizing the community have more rights than black folks sleeping in their homes.

    I saw reports of this yesterday morning. Absolutely insane. The GOP terrorist cells’ disinformation campaign against FEMA needs to be treated for what it is by the major new outlets: Terrorism. These people are completely unhinged, and it’s not only impacting FEMA officials and other volunteers, it’s hindering the storm victims’ ability to recover. The population at large needs to turn on these traitors.

    In extremely poor and hostile areas of a city, they refuse to provide services like Ambulances. Someone hurt? Drive them to a safe zone and then they’ll get help.

    Should do the same here.
