Submission Statement:
>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.”
From CBS own article. ^. In other words FEMA is lying .

I don’t think that America having some crazy gun nuts is a conspiracy.
https://www.cnn.com/2024/10/14/us/fema-helene-north-carolina-reported-threats/index.html
Bunch of right wing gun toting fascist choads high on Fox News and Twitter propaganda running around threatening FEMA workers sounds exactly like dotard Trump supporters.
LOL. The federal government is completely stuck in loser mode. It can not repair itself.
They say armed militias meanwhile everyone in that area has been carrying since this started. Literally could just be a group of people looking for FEMA aid
You won’t find any proof.
Amazing. This guy is released on a $10000 bond but the guy that was armed at the Trump rally with fake IDs and passports $500
A bunch of nonsense
Fuck fema
They want an excuse to arm fema maybe?
Please do tell us what you think fema’s job is.
Hahahahah. Maybe fema shouldn’t be fuckwits then and actually do what they are employed to do and that is help not hinder. Dumbasses
Im also calling out of my job until further notice because armed militia are hunting me
MAGA knows no bounds. Literally hunting FEMA. Smh
Answer: There seems to be a bit of confusion overall about what’s going on. As the article OP linked says, a US Forest Service official sent an email on Saturday warning that FEMA has advised all federal responders in Rutherford County to “stand down and evacuate the county immediately,” and cited the National Guard coming across two trucks of armed militia members who said they were hunting down FEMA workers. However, as the article points out:
>*The (Washington) Post* reported that two federal officials had confirmed the email’s authenticity, but it was not clear if the threat described was viewed as credible.
And all the contractors were back to it by Sunday.
[One arrest was made](https://www.wbtv.com/2024/10/14/fema-contractors-ordered-stand-down-hotels-after-security-threats-messages-show/):
>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.
>Parsons has been released on a $10,000 secured bond; deputies said he was armed with a handgun and arifle (sic).
Local officials also came forward to say that the reports of groups of militia hunting FEMA workers have not been corroborated, and Parsons was acting alone:
>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.
On Sunday there were reportedly additional threats in Ashe County, which the Sheriff’s Office first denied:
>Earlier Sunday morning in a Facebook post, the Ashe County Sheriff’s Office acknowledged threats to FEMA employees and contractors in western North Carolina but said there had been no reports in Ashe County.
But that referenced Facebook post has since been deleted, and the [Sheriff’s Office later confirmed FEMA workers had been forced to pause their work](https://news.yahoo.com/news/hurricane-relief-workers-forced-evacuate-102606823.html). They are back to work as of Monday.
So what seems to be the case for now is that the reports of “groups of militia members hunting FEMA members” is unfounded – though at least one individual (Parsons) *did* make threats and was arrested, and other threats were made in a different county. The threats prompted disaster aid workers to temporarily take refuge, but they are now back to work. Any threats are unacceptable, but this seems like the original claim of roving militia groups hunting FEMA workers is exaggerated (or at the very least, unconfirmed and denied by local law enforcement).
My buddy was out there volunteering and FEMA kicked the Red Cross and other volunteer groups out of a parking lot so they could have it.
I don’t buy anything FEMA says.
It’s all in the NDAA from 2013.
You know, when they included that little clause about “domestic terrorists” and how anyone *suspected of* engaging in that under surveillance, arrest them, and jail them, without trial.
They’re already all over Twitter saying “DA MAGATZ R DUH DOMESTIC TERRORISTS!!!” It’s all so obvious, it’s fucking nauseating.
Probably just wondering where they were. I saw zero in the two days I was there last week. Heard zero reports from other volunteers.
I mean if FEMA really is sabotaging aid i dont blame anyone for targeting fema
It is bullshit – you nailed it, they’re trying to spin their ineptitude – be it malice or plain incompetence – into either a gun control narrative, a demographic witch hunt, or both. Yes we are all packing the past 16 days, been packing for past 16 years so nothing new there. Still have yet to see FEMA anywhere. And by the way I’ve been an intel / cyber intel operative for over a decade currently a consultant by title and I’m a handful of miles the way the crow flies from the thick of these disasters so no exaggeration here and my finger has been on the pulse of everything going on to the best capacity possible as a civilian.
Lololol
Like they would same, I am trying to commit a crime
Bullshit
So the story about Tim Walz is 100% true, but this story is bullshit. Do I have that right?
Alex I will take things that never happened for 1000.00
As badly as people need help there i doubt they would be chasing help away. If anything this is one of many excuses fema is using to explain away why they are incompetent and leaving people to fend for themselves
I’ll require as much proof as I did for all of the other claims of FEMA not doing anything, which means more than Twitter and TikTok posts, and actually names of the accused and accusers
That’s absolutely the plan when thr lights go out.
Them convos aren’t safe,
Some hat color won’t help you.
FEMA is a waste of money. People saw their true colors during Katrina. We live through that crap and they were garbage then.
This was my exact thought. Easy excuses for their poor performance
FEMA was using their guillotines, & chipping people on ships during 2017’s Hurricane Harvey on ships for their ‘relief’ efforts @ Texas
Can always remember the early days of my journey down the rabbit hole (2010) and hearing all the conspiracy theorists talking about fema and fema camps.
“I need PROOF!!!” Screamed the gangbangers causing the problem.
It sure would be nice if the Federal government remembered what healthy respect was regarding it’s citizens. Yes, the government should fear any and all repurcussions any violations or infringements upon its population it inflicts. Especially the small dictatorial persons engaging in criminals acts against the population.
Even if proof was provided you’d still deny it
Hahahaha. They don’t even hide their agenda anymore. It’s to the point of blatant lies, and usually about the stupidest shit.
It’s all bullshit. All of it. You dropped the six of us in a meat grinder.
They have made an arrest already, and stories are popping up. I grabbed the most recent, but looks like they are coming in:

I’m pretty sure it is just one guy who has made credible threats. But a lot of people in the area seem to think that accepting FEMA assistance means you forfeit your land and are turning FEMA away. Along with the other rumors that FEMA is there to bulldoze communities to make way for mining and real estate. My parents are part of a ministry helping in Marion, NC and have heard had a lot of crazy stuff. But 99% of what they see is people helping people.
Yep. Just groups of dudes hunting and murdering govt employees. I’m sure that’s happening.
Typical narcissistic psychopathic bullshit from them
