Hurricane recovery officials in N.C. relocated amid report of ‘armed militia,’ email shows
This is fucking bananas. We've reached a point where our worst citizens are claiming to be literally "hunting FEMA". From the article:
"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 they were out hunting FEMA."
It gets even better--some of these ridiculously dangerous half-wits believe the Democrats are going to send in heavy equipment and bulldoze right over the dead bodies from towns that were destroyed by the hurricanes.
What's the craziest thing to me is that the people who are taking up arms and all the rest of it are voting for people who are creating these situations by their neglectful if not straight-up evil form of governance.
They won't even accept the help they are entitled to because propaganda has them convinced the hurricane came from the fucking Democrats. Lost fucking cause, some of these people. How do you convince someone that the Democrats don't control the weather? ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
A hard point to convey but they should wait for another hurricane to feel the effect of nature. /s
Can't vote these people out so whats the play? We conceding that in an emergency US government will pull back when militias start roaming the streets? Seems like a dangerous precedent.
I hate to say it but liberals need to consider arming up too.
I tell em that all the time. I love being able to have guns, and I think the people most excluded from chud gun culture are the people who most likely need them too. All my friends have been offered shooting trips and gun familiarizarion simply because theres just too many guns in this country to not understand how they work and the limits of their function. It would be like trying to be a pedestrian in NYC without understanding how much time and space a car takes to stop. I wish more people would take me up on it but am glad to see gun ownership on the rise among LGBTQ and POC recently.
